@Number Three (from yesterday.) I grew up with Andy Capp. My father was the big fan, he had most of the books and I read them over and over. I still have them!
Re yesterday – Can, yes; Soft Machine not so much. I prefer Caravan as a “softer” Soft Machine. I believe David Sinclair (keyboards) was poached by Robert Wyatt for Matching Mole.
To: afficionado, beviek, Sreejay, Sandfan, Eldo and all the ret of the regulars, Have a great weekend!My company just left after a week-long stay, so I am going to have a very restful one.
@Number ThreeIt occurs to me that since you are a Brit and of a tender age you may have never been exposed to one of our American institutions, Namely Spike Jones. He was from the golden era of about 60 years ago..http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=E8QduGMCCZU
Welcome back Number 6 and thanks to you, Sandfan, Eldo and halfpint er…Number 3 ..(just kidding Number 3) and I hope all “The Capp’rs” have a joyous weekend!
I would never have thought that Andy would wear spotty boxers… but then I have never before given any thought to Andy’s undies. I wish that situation had continued.
His legs never seemed that hairy when he played football.

I almost forgot. Raise a glass today to celebrate the birth in 1852 of Dr. John Watson, the associate and biographer of Sherlock Holmes.

My all-time favorite Andy Excuse goes something like this:
Flo: Alright, let’s hear it.Andy: It’s such a long story, I don’t want to get into it now. You’ll read about it in tomorrow’s paper, anyway.
Stagger Lee about 12 years ago
Flo, Andy can’t tell you what he doesn’t remember.

They certainly are – but let’s have a drink anyway….who needs an excuse?

I’d love to see Andy use my favorite excuse. First through his hat through the door first, the holler: " Don’t pay the ransom, honey ! I’ve escaped. "
