Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 25, 2023

ok, should’ve you read that to him already!? (that’s like my boss nagging on WhatsApp during lockdown time – am I not happy to be retired now….)

Silence is golden. Texts can be read in a singsong lilting way, seeming an affectionate manner.

MIL sure knows how to get her point across.

sent Andy a message on insta-slam

Wham

Andy, watch me ruin that ugly witch’s christmas to make your better.

She must know that fella!

Bet HE’S Happy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR GOLDSMITH & MR GARNETT!

Well, he is! What d’ya want her to do, lie … on Christmas?!?

Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! ¡Feliz Navidad! Buon Natale! Frohe Weihnachten! and Happy Festivus! for the rest of of us.

Something about the decoration directly above Andy’s head… I see what you did there… Someone’s going to have a Merry Christmas, indeed ;)…

As if he doesn’t know. As if everyone doesn’t know. But it is good to remind him from time to time.

Yuletide greetings Everyone!!!

Her voice may be gone; her ears work just fine.

You just have love technology!

You can’t win, Andy. Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Merry Christmas Cappers!!!

Merry Christmas to all! Same time next year.

Well, she found a way!

Technology has many uses.

Just when you thought Andy got his Christmas wish come true…

A woman who worked with me at the bank came in one day with laryngitis. She was someone who loved to talk. She was also active in our church. One of the priests came in that morning, and as I was waiting on him, Debbie waved from the other side of the room. I told him, “Debbie has a terrible affliction today, Father. She can’t talk.” He responded, “That must be a great blessing to her husband!”

Merry Christmas everyone!

She’s just being truthful.

She would have loved to texted that to you personally, and often, but you don’t have a phone. At least she cleaned it up for the proxy.

Too bad Andy don’t have a phone to block her

Maybe Andy can introduce her to the canal and dampen her spirits.

Chalkie should block her.

Merry Christmas Cappers!

I would love to see how that is being said in BSL (British Sign Language) A text is quick and efficient but boring.

@Everyone

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope you are all having a lovely one. I got some fantastic gifts including two new dresses. I’m one happy girl. My next avatar will be a photo of me wearing one of them so keep a look out! I might update it either today or tomorrow.

We’ll be having Christmas dinner soon. Mmmm.

Much Love to you all.
