Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 09, 2021

your round, Andy? as if

Good to see Guitar Bob!

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , our Hro Mr Andrew Capp is ignoring Sideshow Bob’s caterwauling and concentrating on Eric not passing out before paying for another round, but Andy buying a round is beyond credibility :o) my avatar is a picture of Sleepy because that’s how I feel having spent all night awake :o{ how was your day? our Finally Friday should be busy but we will cope I hope , we have already done our bulk shopping but don’t have any errands to run we both are in a good mood , in spite of the infernal heat so we stay in rooms with A/C or heavy duty fans drink lots of chilled bottled water and guzzling ice cream till this evening when I will have my fav modified nosh keep safe and hydrated and thanks for caring young Lady

Wait a minute here. Are we supposed to believe that Andy is actually going to pay a round?

His???

For being in England Guitar Bob knows a lot of American songs. Even the C&W.

Poor Jack, he has to listen to that horrible caterwauling in his right ear as well as the outright lies from Andy in his left ear!

@Cappers old and new Today is my youngest son’s 46th birthday

Looks like Eric is going to pass on Andy’s “generous” offer…

♫ “you are on my lonely mind” ♫

Snatch and drain his glass, dim bulb!

1. I was thinking, Andy would suggest Eric pass out so he could quaff his ale!2. What does the dialogue have to do with the song?

Bob did not invent bad poetry. But he’s raised it to an art form.

for his next little ditty, Guitar Bob will be performing…

♫ Help me Andy I’m sinkin’ ♪♫ From sittin’ here drinkin’ with you ♪

“I’ve got tears in my ears

from lying on my back

while I cry over you."

I’ve been crying these tears

and soaking in my sack

since the day I found you were untrue."

Old Homer and Jethro song lyrics. Bob almost had it.

He should rephrase that to what he intended to say. “Could you buy the next round before you pass out?”

“There’s A Tear In My Beer”

There’s a tear in my beer

‘cause I’m cryin’ for you, dear

you are on my lonely mind.

Into these last nine beers

I have shed a million tears.

You are on my lonely mind

I’m gonna keep drinkin’

until I’m petrified.

And then maybe these tears

will leave my eyes.

There’s a tear in my beer

cause I’m crying’ for you dear

You are on my lonely mind.

.

__________Hank Williams Jr.

Andy’s round? I almost passed out with shock reading that!

Hey, Affie.

Today I bought some of my favourite yogurts but they are actually for children to help their growth and development. I still love them at 26 years old. They are called “Munch Bunch” made by Nestle. They’re just so smooth and creamy. I plan to only have them at weekends, I want to make them last because it won’t be long before they are back at full price. I have 12 altogether.

I know you are not into football in the slightest but on Sunday, England are playing Italy in the EURO final. If England win, Boris is considering giving us another Bank Holiday and some schools are allowing children to go in later at 10:30am.

Sunday also happens to be my Mum’s birthday. 11th July 2021 will go down in history if England wins the EURO cup.

Keep doing what you are doing. Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal. See you after the weekend and I hope you sleep better tonight.

Guitar Bob’s awful “singing” is driving Eric to drink.

Is that Wee Eric from Craiglang?
