Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 02, 2023

Happy New Year, Cappers! Much Love to you all.

I finally got a text stating where my blood donation has been sent to. The lucky hospital was Leeds General Infirmary. It actually went to that hospital 3 years ago. I keep records of where my blood donations get sent to and when.

I recieved the text yesterday on New Year’s Day. I hope I made somebody live to see 2023.

I hope your New Year started off wonderfully like mine did. I’m back at my volunteering on Tuesday, I can’t wait. I’m getting so restless! Goodnight all.

Get on up them steps and take a bath!

to kick anyone except for the ball. I think we should call this as a new sport…. “Bodyball”

You are still dryer than your canal days!

@Number Three Today’s strip Is funny the way all our Hero Mt qndrew Capp’s only interest is brawling is classic :o0 my avatar today is a picture of my birth sign Leo roaring his head off because he’s in a good mood like I am, how was your day? our Manic Monday should be slightly busy , we both are in a good mood and with no shopping or errands to run, we a staying inside the house and keep hydrated because it’s cold outside keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

bummer, Andy, when it comes to being unable to perform poor sportsmanship

Just makes you want to kick yourself.

Nearly done himself an injury with a high kick.

Poor Péle would be turning in his grave!

Some time ago, I mentioned on this site that we used to have Wimpy Bars in the UK but they were taken over by Burger King. I later learned that most of the Wimpy Bars were renamed by Burger King but there are still Wimpy Bars and I had a meal in one in Shrewsbury in the summer of last year so I mentioned that on this site as a correction. I am currently reading the third Thursday Murder Club novel, “The Bullet That Missed”. One of the main characters in The Thursday Murder Club, Joyce, is surprised to find that there are still Wimpy Bars in Britain and she has mentioned this at least three times so far.

Or chase anyone.

I think that Andy needs to drink something to chase all that water away.

Ahh , The Dark Arts need constant practice !

The weather has put a damper on Andy’s hopes of kicking a$$.

Oh I’m sure you could have managed if you put your mind to it.

Thinking back on the 30+ years I refereed football ( soccer ) I can only remember suspending play for inclement weather on only three occassions. Once, because the rain was so horrendeous that the pitch was not only unplayable but dangerous. The second was because the fog had set in so thick that you literally couldn’t see three feet in front of you. The third time was because of intense lightning activity in the surrounding area.( As a teenager, while working as a lifeguard, I saw a kid get killed by lightning. Ever since, I have always erred on the side of extreme caution when it comes to electricity – particularly lightning! )

It was until I moved to Arizona in the early 70s that I discovered that you could actually play soccer in the sunshine! Most of my own playing experience had been in the cold, rainy, damp, and miserable weathers of New England and Ireland.

Andy finally has to take a shower!

Take your shoes off at the door, you inconsiderate little git!

Andy has a different concept of football.

Oh my heart bleeds for you, Andy.

Hey, Affie.

Sorry for the late reply. My friend invited me over to his house again and as it will be the last time I see him for a while, I wanted to go.

Happy New Year to you! Tomorrow I am back at my volunteering and I’m looking forward to it. One of my “routines” on that day is to get a bacon sandwich. If I’m running a bit late, I take the sandwich into the office with me and eat it.

We also have something here called “Rainbow Cake” and the rainbow part consists of sprinkles. It’s so good, I get myself some of that with the bacon sandwich if there is any left.

Stay safe, stay well, stay warm and stay happy, pal.

What good is football if you can’t clobber someone?

I can’t believe Andy came right home after the game was abandoned, I would have thought he would have headed for the nearest Pub to further drown his sorrows.

And here I thought it was all about kicking the ball. Shows what I know.
