We watched the first episode and put it into the category of "We will only watch it if desperate".   If you can tell me it improves, we might give it another chance.

It would be good if more of them would join in the conversation with us or between themselves on a regular basis.  However, we get enough positive feedback to warrant us keeping our public conversation going for the time being. [/color].

My rebus is a 1938 film.

Hi Jack

Greetings from a very chilly Milton Keynes hospital! Not quite so hectic today. 

I can understand why you have reservations about Beyond Paradise.  I enjoy it.  I love Humphrey and it's filmed in Looe in Cornwall so I love the scenery but the plots are a little thin.  It's what I call not too much effort required!

I love it when the others put in their two penn'orth and it would be brilliant if folks joined in a little more.  The positive feedback we get definitely make it worthwhile 

I did enjoy your clever rebus.  It took me a few attempts to get on top of it!

My offering today is a trilogy of books from the 18th century and also a telly series.

# 4 #4 #2 10 (#6 + #4)


Please change the first letter of picture one.  Please use the first two letters of the Canadian city in picture three and change the first letter of picture four.  You need the surname of the gent in picture.  He doesn't normally have a beard so I picked this picture to try and make it a bit trickier    Please pretend it's all on one line.

             

Almost home time hooray 

I forgot that your mob over there go along to the footy to have a sing along and behave like Hooligans while our mob go along to have a few beers and shout " avago yuh mug".

I rarely watch the golf these days and wouldn't have this morning until you reminded me the Masters was on, so I watched the last hour of it.  We haven't played golf for nearly four years and I got disgusted when a lot of the ones I barracked for joined the LIV golf mob.  The only golf that excites me these days is the Ryder Cup and it might surprise you to know I become very European.

We've finished the Inspector Linley Mysteries and are now onto Dalgleish.  Linley turned into a real pig, but I was a great fan of Havers.  We are into the second series of Whitstable Pearl .  It is annoying but not bad enough to abandon it just yet.

Finally, I came up with the age-old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

I realised my post might a bit rough for the sensitive souls who follow our conversations and so I asked ET to edit it so it had a touch of class. so here is my edited post.

Hi Jack

I loved your post - made me howl with laughter and cheered up a very busy and windy Monday      I hope you do some more deep thinking very soon 

I am a numpty and consulted Ms Google about 'avago yuh mug'.  I then said it out loud   

I don't watch much golf these days either.  Partly because it's mostly on Sky which I don't subscribe to and partly because there seem to be few characters in the game now. After coming at the bottom of the leader board I think Tiger Woods needs to retire.  Like you I'm excited by the Ryder Cup,  It doesn't surprise me in the remotest  that you become all European 

I'm on the first series of Whitstable Pearl and the jury's still out.   I am still enjoying Beyond Paradise but there are only a couple of episodes left in the series.  I've probably mentioned it before but have you watched Murder in Provence with Inspector Fred Thursday from Endeavour?  or Signora Volpe?  As you may have noticed in another thread Linda & I were very disappointed with the new Midsomer last night.

Have we got many sensitive souls who tune into our conversations?     ET's poshed up version of your post is very funny and should suit the easily offended 

Nearly home time thank heavens.  Hope I don't get blown away in my little car driving home.  It's really howling a gale here!

Sorry Jack I forgot to ask if you're enjoying the golf?  I saw Jason Day got into bother for weather a multi-coloured shirt 

 I thought you weren't giving the suckers an even break.

Well Moyra probably did not have to struggle with your last rebus even though your picture 5 could have 11 letters you could substitute to make legitimate words.  I was also struggling identifying the base of picture 4 with the owls.  With picture 3, I was trying to identify the action.

Hi Jack

I'm so sorry.  I'll be more thoughtful with my hints in future.  I was going to use Daphne from Frasier for picture four of my last puzzle but thought that was too obvious   I should have mentioned the Owl and the Pussycat and that might have helped.  I have no excuse for the fifth picture other than I loved the fact that the kitten was trying to beat up the dog and failing miserably and the dog just gently batted it away.  It wasn't much of a punch up though sorry 

My rebus today is a song which is sung by the crowd at a London Football Club.

#4 #3


Please use the surname of the gent in picture one and change the first letter to one near the end of the alphabet.

#1'1 7 (#3 + #4) #7 #7

^'
You need Judy Dench's character in picture two.  Please use the formal title of Rowan Atkinson's character* in picture four (8 letters) and use four consecutive letters please.  Present tense for picture five and move the fourth letter back a couple of places.  Picture six is a famous telescope.  Please change the first letter to one near the beginning of the alphabet and bung an s on the end.  Two homophones and please pretend it's all on one line.

*I watched the film Keeping Mum a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it 

       

Do you ever wonder...
Why no one is ever just right amount of whelmed?

This is really daft but it tickled me 



Just spotted your post.  Will finish this and have a proper look 

A birthday treat for me!! 

Best Birthday pressie you could ask for   
Hope Hubby's going to treat you as well 

If their experience is like that of some my mates that have had their cataracts fixed, they will be delighted with the result.  Give them my best wishes when you next see them.

It was a good rebus but I'll make a bet that you won't have seen the picture because I know sci-fi horror is not quite your cup of tea.

Hi Jack

Yet another lovely Spring day.  Going to be a shock when the weather goes back to normal in the next day or two.

I had a message from Barbs a little while ago to say they were both fine today and they were enjoying a coffee sitting in the garden.  I passed on your best wishes and they were chuffed 

How well you know me    Your money's quite safe as I definitely wouldn't watch that film in a million years!!

My rebus today is a film released when I was about a year old.

#3 #3 #2 9 (#4 + #5)


You need the first name of the gent in picture one and please lose the first letter. Picture two how are the Police force known? Please lose the first three letters of picture three.  Any one of picture four and substitute the first two letters with one different letter.  Please change the first letter of picture five and it's all on one line.

       

That's all from me.  The kettle's calling...

That sounds wonderful Christine.  I would love to visit the Lakes.  I'm not brave enough to attempt the drive but I can easily get from MK to Oxenholme on the train.  The problem I'd have is how I'd get about once I got there.  It must be about 18 years since I last visited.  I do remember Zoe and I went on a tour in a minibus which was advertised as 'It's better by goat'.  It picked us up near our B&B in Kendal and took us to loads of different places.  It was brilliant.  I really do need to get out of my comfort zone!
