Apparently, comics’ physics allows main characters to age much slower, than the supporting cast.

…and so will your grandchildren, if M/s. Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett have their way!

Consider if you will an ageless man, permanently on unemployment and a man with a transparent head who travel together through “The Twilight Zone”. \\//_

If you just saw him on a professional level, shouldn’t you have had his paperwork in front of you?

If we follow Andy’s true time line,( he served with the Fusilers in the African campaign, during WWII ), he’d be well into his 90’s by now, and in no need of going to the Labor Exchange !

I’m surprised Andy has managed to get away with it for so long.

It’s OK for those who are unemployed and WANT to work but Andy doesn’t. Therefore the Job Centre should sanction him.

My Finally Friday was bloody excellent. I won £145 at bingo. Shared with my Auntie. I went away with £75 and her with £70.

I have the day off from work today. It’s nice to have a break every now and then.

It’s the Economy, stupid.

As I recall, Andy’s last regular job was as a paperboy.
