Andy Capp and Alf Garnett came to epitomize in satire the working class Englishman of the ’60’s. – much like Archie & Edith Bunker and later. Al & Peggy Bundy became parodies of the American working class of their respective generations.
I think that one thing I have always admired about the British, is their ability to “send themselves up”.
Americans have inherited and profited from imitating British satire but rarely reach the pinnacle of wit, so aptly displayed by our cousins, across the pond.
Andy may be a bounder and a bit of a cad but he is ( even in his dotage ) our irascible, predictably unpredictable, but very funny, English uncle.
Buenos días, mi amigo el dolor-en-el-diente,If you are too obstinado to go to the dentist and get the tooth repaired, then you have only yourself to blame for the pain and if it becomes infected and that spreads ( which believe me it can ) to other parts of your body.I once, in my military days, contracted epididymitis ( no fun ! ) as a result of a badly infected wisdom tooth. More recently I have had a type of hepatitis that is caused by an infected tooth.Both illnesses were preventable, if I’d not procrastinated going to the dentist.
For a natural anesthetic for the pain either oil of cloves or ( and this is what I do ) whole cloves. Just chew and leave in your mouth on the aching tooth a couple of whole cloves. It will numb the tooth and relieve the pain for quite a while.
My other two toothache standbys – although not taken – are real aspirin ( not Tylenol or ibuprofen ) because it will act directly on the afflicted area ( chew or dissolve in water and use like a mouthwash ) and whiskey – hold in the mouth on tooth, then either swallow or spit out. I hate to waste good whiskey, so you know I don’t spit it out !
Had a great weekend – stayed at the beach until last night when we had the whole gang over for Dias de Madre. We guys did all the cooking and cleanup.
I’m rooting for Bernie. I won’t vote for c_hillary no matter what. the only good thing about the tRump is the entrenched politicians hate him :D “rock the boat”

Andy’s tab put that pub out of business just like Norm’s tab put Cheer’s out of business.

Apparently The Crown was set way apart from any other buildings, so maybe people just had trouble finding the place…….
