More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

Hi Jack

Didn't think you would get Pens rebus probably only a Brit would know it

I took me 2 hours to crack it

1  It is a jazz number

2  begins with bad

Good luck

Carol

[auntiemo]

Thanks, Carol. That made it easy to Google. I had resorted to going through Top 100 lists!

[Ozzyjack]

Hi Carol,

You are a champion.  I had fiddled with "bad" as the only 3 letter word that I could think of that fitted.  I completely missed jazz as a direction to explore.

I agree, Moyra, that Carol's clues made it easy with Google.

Hi Pen,

Wow! You are on a roll.  I can see your mind turning to ham, cheese,and, pickles for lunch.

I’ll slip back to the year I was conceived and stick with the war theme with another significant event.

Pen has flummoxed me again.

Hi Jack

I honestly thought you wouldn't have too much trouble with it - especially with my clues in the cartoons!  You've returned the compliment today.  I'm stumped with your most recent offering   You're cartoons tickled me - especially the middle one

I'm a lady of leisure today although it hasn't been very relaxing so far!  I've been shopping & done a little cleaning & had lunch.  No roll today but a salmon & tomato sarnie.  It should be salmon & cucumber but I didn't have any so I made do!

My rebus today is a film released in 1955.  When I was barely a twinkle in my Dad's eye   It starred a man with a reputation but who, I think, had an amazing voice.

Leave you with a silly rhyme   The wine's the wrong colour but it can't be helped!  It's howling a gale but at least it's stopped raining so I'm going to brave a walk

[Hobbit]

I think I have the answer to your rebus if you made a little mistake and used & instead of @.

Whoops sorry Jack

As Del Boy would say 'What a Plonker!'

I solved your clever rebus at the third time of asking!  Very excellent if I may say so

A major theatrical event of 1878 in London.
The rebus, when solved, shows the alternative title of the show.
The lyricist in a later show described this one as 'infernal nonsense'

6 words - 3/4/4/5/1/6

One definite article and one indefinite article are not in the rebus; there is a verb which should be past tense'

Both titles, name of composer, name of lyricist, please.

Hi Pen,

I enjoyed that Guinness Pie with a nice bottle of shiraz to give me the mental acuity to devise the best post ever.  I just closed my eyes so I could concentrate fully and zzzzz I just woke up. I am sure it will work and so I am just going to close my eyes to concentrate again.

Hi Jack

A flying visit today.  I'm a bit flummoxed by Mike's rebus but am going to return to it later.  Not going to admit defeat until I have to!

My rebus is harking back to something Moyra said in a different thread
#5-#3-#5


A couple of hints.  The first picture you're not interested in who he is but what he was in a programme in the 70's.  The last word is plural.

         

I'm off to deliver a couple of books to Barbs as she has nowt to read.



ps just read your post while I was posting.  Tickled me & made me laugh   Perhaps it was a combination of the Guinness & the shiraz that slowed down your mental acuity

[Ozzyjack]

Hi Pen,

A super quickie so I can get back to sleep.

Sticking with the WWII theme but this time a 1950s movie with a true grit story.

You are not interested in naming the subject of the pictures but are interested in a characteristic or activity or component.

SPOILER ALERT -Pen’s Latest rebus

SPOILER ALERT -My Latest rebus

[Hobbit]

Hi Jack

Got a possible solution for the first word & ground to a halt!  Can't get cherry out of my head which is very unhelpful   Wrong in so many ways!! Going to leave it for tonight & come at it with a fresh eye tomorrow

[Ozzyjack]

Hi Pen,

You won’t be fooled by this one after the puzzle I posed the other day.  It has the same logic.



A little retro humour:

      

Blue and his mate Whoppa are sitting on a park bench smoking cigarettes when it starts to rain.  Blue pulls out a condom from his pocket.

"What in tarnation is that for?!” says Whoppa

“Well, just watch this” Blue says before he cuts off the end and puts it over his cigarette. “This way they don’t get soggy!”

Whoppa is pretty impressed and walks right down to the chemist and into the condom aisle.

The teenage assistant asks “Can I help you with something?”

“Sure thing, I’m looking for a pack of condoms”

“Well they come in a lot of sizes”, says the assistant. “What size do you want”

“Oh, one just big enough to fit a camel.”


My rebus stays with the war theme but is a bit more modern. It is an Australian 1979 war and action film with elements of comedy set in the Vietnam war.

The first word is “the” and is not pictured.



The glasses in the third picture have a common singular description.

Howdy Jack

Another cold & very windy day here today.  If March comes in like a lion & goes out like a lamb it's taking it's time calming down

Zoe & I wrestled your rebus into submission between us.  I got the last 2 pictures & she got the first   Sorted your puzzle as well!

I'll see your Australian war & action film & offer you a British WWII film made in the 1940's.

After their baby is born the distraught father goes to see the obstetrician.
"Doctor" the man said "I don't mind telling you, but I'm very upset because my daughter has red hair.  She can't possibly be mine"
"Nonsense!" the doctor replies " Even though you & your wife both have black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool."
"It isn't possible" insists the man "Our families have both had jet black hair for generations."
"Well" said the doctor "let me ask you this.  How often to you have sex?"
The man looked a bit uncomfortable.  "I've been working very hard this last year.  We've only made love once or twice every few months."
"Well there you have it!" says the doctor confidently...
"It's rust!"

Leave you with a silly joke

[Ozzyjack]

Your cartoons tickled me   I don't think mine came out for some reason.

Hi Pen, it seems that the only the first two don't come out but I am sure they were there the first time I read your post.  I did some backtracking and got this message "The URL doesn't refer to an image or the image is not publicly accessible.".  It maybe that when somebody who does not have permission to view the image does so, a block to viewing the image again is put in.  This may also explain some of the problems I have struck in the past. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Pen,

It happened again with the second picture in your rebus. The first time I opened the post a picture was there but when I reopened the post again this morning it had disappeared.

The url you used was https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/-V0L1CeqM-ntnNqU39CRwPJj0o7ysHdzarIH-3VKya2VXM-iRErPEXtFlpIQZSGizTf2vcST5IPmXJMpR3cOHRWKw8_aSHzChx0VK8ExtoXp-tMCwx3v1Nfm5avFiTBk4A .

If you try to access it you get this message

The thing all three that behaved this way have in common is the URL starts with https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/


A substitute for the picture that disappeared is




I will get back with the spoilers after lunch.

Hi Pen,

Devices used to find water

I remember when Blue and Sheila were having their first child and going to prenatal classes. 
The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands.
 
The Instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial - it strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier.  Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on soft surfaces, like a grass path”.
 
"Gentlemen, remember -- you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her.  In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both."
 
The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information. After a few moments Blue slowly raised his hand.
 
"Yes?" said the Instructor.

"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag?
 
Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
 
(THIS LEVEL OF SENSITIVITY CAN'T BE TAUGHT)


I’ll get away from the blood and guts of war and switch to a 1962 musical film.
