My rebus is a current topic

Very impressive, Jack! How long did it take you to put that one together?

[Ozzyjack]

It should have taken be a bit longer as I made a small mistake on the count of the first half of the first word the first word which I have now fixed.  I think it was about 90 minutes from thinking of the idea to posting.  I was expected at Cleveland and I didn't do the last check. 

[Hobbit]

I would be surprised if you did.  Why did Crocodile Dundee in New York jump into my mind?   

My rebus is a current topic, most probably more likely to come up in Blue's conversations than in yours.

Hi Jack

Bracing myself for a busy morning on fracture clinic but at least I'm back in the swing of things now!

Can't imagine why Crocodile Dundee in New York sprung to mind   

I'm having to wave a white flag with your rebus   I've sorted most of it and got the gist of it but struggling to piece it all together.

My rebus is a film which is a similar vintage to Mick Dundee. 

#4 #7 7 (#4 + #3)


Please use any of the gents in picture one and lose the last three letters.  What is the occupation of the gents in picture three?  Please lob in an i.  Please change the first letter of picture four and one homophone.  Please pretend it's all on one line.  Hope it's ok have been doing it in dribs and drabs over the last couple of hours and I'm very easily distracted

              

Nearly lunchtime thank goodness

Hi Again Jack

My egg sarnie obviously helped to lubricate my little grey cell   It was the gent in picture two who was causing me the problem - I had a nine letter word and couldn't get past it
All sorted now and am feeling very smug

   

[Ozzyjack]

All sorted now and am feeling very smug

Hi Pen,

You have every right to be smug.



We had a very pleasant surprise yesterday.   We were about a kilometre from home on our way to Cleveland when we got a phone call from Andrew.  He had planned a surprise visit and was on our doorstep.  I did a quick U-turn and whipped home to pick him up and we all tootled off to Cleveland.

My rebus today is a document that our cousins across the ditch boast about to us.


6( #4 #2) #2  8( #4  #2  #2). 
   
   


Picture 1.  One word (4}
Picture 2.  One word (3).
Pictures 1 and 2.  Make a homophone of your combined 2 parts
Picture 3.  One word(5).  Use the first letters.

Hi Jack

What a lovely surprise   All the better for being unexpected!

I'm having a bit of bother with your rebus again.  Picture five has me flummoxed for the moment   I've got the rest of it.  I'm going to leave it for the time being and return to it a bit later

A nice easy rebus for you today.  It's a poem.
#3 4 (#3 + #1) #2 7 (#4 + #3)


Please use three consecutive letters from the middle of picture one. You need either the first name or surname of the gent in picture three - first letter only! Please lose the last letter of picture four and then reverse what's left. No points for identifying Rooster Cogburn in picture four.  What position did he hold?  Last four letters of seven.  Please pretend it's all on one line. As Jack pointed out please insert the single letter from picture three into the third position of the second word.  Apologies.

Kylie told me that her Uncle Blue was surprised at his mate Shane's laid back behaviour.  Apparently Shane's girlfriend, Muriel, had been seen with another man. 
Blue said to Shane "You say you love her but you saw her with another guy and you didn't deck him?!"
"I'm waiting" said Shane.
"Strewth! Waiting for what?" shouted Blue
"I'm waiting to catch her with a smaller bloke!" said Shane.

         

Nearly home time hurrah!

Hi Pen,

The first word is the name of the girl.  The second word is "of".  Words 3 & 4 are the name of the house.

 

P.S. I think I have your rebus but only if I can insert the letter from picture 3 into the third position of word 2.

[Hobbit]

Thanks Jack I have it now   A great tricky rebus.

You are absolutely correct you do need to insert the letter from picture three into the third position of word two.  I kept getting distracted this afternoon.  I'll blame my colleagues and the patients    Thanks for spotting my cock up

[Ozzyjack]

You are absolutely correct you do need to insert the letter from picture three into the third position of word two.

Hi Again, Pen.

A neater way of amending your clue would be to amend your original sentence to read.

You need either the first name or surname of the gent in picture three - first letter only! and then to make an anagram of the results you have from pictures two and three.

Smee again, Pen,

A quickie before I hit the hay.

A 1959 novel and 2004 Movie

#3  10( #3  #4  #3) 9( #6  #3)

Conceptually one line.

   
   

Picture 3.  Discard the last 2 letters.
Picture 4.  Be a bit more formal than “beefy” but “Sir” is overdoing it.
Picture 5.  The one carrying the clubs.
Make an anagram of the letters in your answers for pictures 5 and 6

Hi Jack

Taking a break from my chores to do a quick post.  I've only got the hoovering to do - my least favourite job

Your suggestion was spot on - wish I'd thought of it!

I enjoyed your clever rebus   My rebus is also a book, published in 1984 and a film a few years later.

#3 #4 #3 #3 7 (#2 + #2 + #3)


Please change the first letter of picture two.  Can you remember the name of the film in picture three?  One word, ten letters.  You need three consecutive letters from the middle. First name of the gent in picture four and lose the first letter.  Please use the middle two letters of picture five and any one of picture six.  Please use the first three letters of the character sitting at the piano in the last picture.  One homophone and please pretend it's all on one line.

           

My neighbour told me he bought a box of Viagra tea bags yesterday.
He said they do nothing for your sex life but they do stop your biscuits going soft when you dunk them!

Leave you with a silly joke   Better get the blasted hoover out

[Hobbit]

Hi Jack

I've just been up to Barbs' for a walk, cuppa and catch up   We'd only been back 10 minutes and the heavens opened! On Wednesday it bucketed down all afternoon and evening.  Didn't stop until nearly bedtime.  We'll have webbed feet soon

My rebus today is an album from 1975. 

#7 9 (#3 + #6) #3 3 #5 #4 6 (#3 + #3)

THE

Please ignore Princess Anne in picture one.  You're interested in his military title. In picture three what's causing a problem with his hair?  Please move the first letter down a couple of places.  You're looking for the surname of the character in picture five. (the series was based on novels by G K Chesterton). How might you describe the child in picture six? Please lose the last letter. Can you identify Ermintrude at the front of picture seven? One homophone and please pretend it's all on one line.

           

A nun was sitting in Luton airport waiting for a flight to Edinburgh. She looked over in the corner and saw one of those guess your weight machines that tells your fortune. So, she thought to herself, "I'll give it a try just to see what it tells me."
She went over to the machine and put 50p in and out came a card that said, "You're a nun. You weigh 8 stone., and you are going to Edinburgh."
She sat back down and thought about it. She told herself it probably tells everyone the same thing, but decided to try it again. She put another 50p in, and out came a card that read, "You're a nun. You weigh 8 stone, you're going to Edinburgh, and you are going to play a violin."
The nun said to herself, "I know that's wrong. I have never played a musical instrument in my life." She sat back down. From out of nowhere, a musician came over and put his violin case down next to her. The nun picked up the violin  and started playing beautiful music.
Astonished she stared at the machine and said, "This is incredible! I've got to try it again!
Back to the machine she went, put her 50p in, and another card came out. It said, "You're a nun, you weigh 8 stone, you're going to Edinburgh,  and you're going to break wind."
Now, the nun knew the machine was wrong. "I've never broken wind in public in my whole life!" Just then, she tripped, fell off the scales and broke wind.
Stunned, she sat back down and looked at the machine. She said to herself, "This is truly unbelievable! I've got to try it one last time."
She went back to the machine, put another 50p in and collected the card. It said, "You're a nun, you weigh 8 stone, you have fiddled and farted around and missed your flight to Edinburgh!"
Leave you with a silly shaggy dog joke
