Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for March 11, 2024

Just shove it up his worthless @ss, Doc!!

Work would cut into his drinking time,,, Wonder if Andy has ever considered getting a job at a brewery..

This fiddle don’t work.

Kick him out Doctor.

Stand in doc for a standup guy.

but so fit to drink – can you include that?

In other words, the fiddle wasn’t that fit after all.

Soon, the good Doc will be fit to be tied!

I gather “surgery” in the U.K. has a different meaning than in the U.S.

I’ve known too many people who do their best to make themselves “disabled” so that they can claim disability and get full disability payments.

He probably is with all the beer he drinks.

And Andy makes his request with a lot of sincerity…….

Well, no one would argue that he IS fit for work!

This is a bit close to home. Last week I had a doctor’s consultation scheduled. My regular medic was on vacation so I was assigned another doctor. She asked what needed to be looked at. I told her, “Nothing! I just need you to renew my prescriptions for another 3 months!”

She laughed, looked at my file, typed up the necessary prescriptions on the computer for the hospital pharmacy, and wished me a good day.

I have National Health Insurance, so my medications are covered. If I’d had to pay out of pocket for my drugs – including baby aspirin – it would have cost me about $40 a month here ( Quadruple that cost, if I lived in the U.S.A. ! )

It’s mutually beneficial for you Doc, he’ll need the dole money to pay for this Doctor’s visit.

Anybody that would hire Andy would be fit…to be tied.

Surely Andy can sign the form himself? A doctor’s signature is usually just a random doodle anyway that looks nothing like their name.

Knowing Andy, I’m surprised he didn’t try to forge the Doctor’s signature.

Andy would not know how to work

Work is the curse of the drinking class.

Famous case in Ireland (? was it) recently, where a woman’s lawsuit claiming bodily harm was thrown out because she not only entered a very public Christmas-tree throwing contest but won it for her division.
