A little humour for your morning tea.

I am going to celebrate the fact that I got Mike’s rebus without using google – a rare event.

Hi Jack

It turned out to be a little humour for my lunch.  My compliments on a great selection :laugh:  I've had a very busy morning including mandatory training :(

I also solved Mike's rebus without consulting google & like you a rare event!  Didn't get the bonus questions unaided though.

      
I can't keep up with you today :laugh:

My neighbour was dismayed this afternoon when his wife told him his 6-year-old son wasn't actually his.
She then said he needed to pay more attention at school gates!

A man has been in hospital for a month. One day, he's so sick and tired of being in hospital that he sneaks out and down to the nearest pub. He orders a beer and swallows the lot in ten seconds flat. He then orders a second beer and does the same. Then a third and a fourth.
As he orders a fifth beer, he says to the barman, "I shouldn't be drinking this with what I've got."
The barman gasps in alarm, "What have you got?" To which the hospital patient replies, "I've got no money."

The afternoon's shaping up to be even busier than this morning so I've

Hi Jack

You've excelled yourself today - superb :laugh:  The bears are not only very cute but the commentary is hilarious.  The voice reminded me of Wee Jimmy Krankie.  The Krankies were an act back in the 1980's & were a husband & wife.  The wife dressed up as a small schoolboy.  I tried to find a short clip but it was excruciatingly painful so I gave up >:D  The lawyer with the cigars was very funny.  I wasn't too impressed with your selection of jobs.  Most of them gave me the heebie jeebies :laugh:

I've found a little Eric & Ernie.  I have to say I don't remember the second clip.  It's a bit daft but quite funny ;D
Snooker

Stalag 54

I found out just before lunch that our weekend lady is poorly so I'm working again tomorrow.  I hope to be back then with a rebus to baffle you a bit ;D  Need to get outside & mow the lawn.

Hi Pen,

We often say that one of the values of the forum is that you learn new things.  Today while searching for something different for a rebus, I learnt that a Manga is a style of Japanese comic books and graphic novels, typically aimed at adults as well as children. 
The rebus answer is a manga series.

One of history's great liars - long before Donald Trump or Boris Johnson, about 350 years ago, in fact.

His picture is at the end of the row. The first three pictures should give you his name.

two words -5/5

Hi Jack

Here I am at work again & it's a beautiful day out :(  Oh well worse things happen at sea!  I've enjoyed your snippets that don't require sound :laugh:  The others I'll enjoy later.  The one for Les is hilarious - it reminded me of this...
Dolls
That always makes me chuckle - doesn't matter how many times I see it!

What a smashing picture of Bonnie's half brother :)

I think I've solved both yours & Mike's rebuses but I'm keeping my powder dry & waiting for the spoiler!

I've got a rebus which is an old Play For Today from 1977.  I couldn't find anything too tricky unfortunately.
10 (#5 + #5) #5


A small hint.  You're looking for the first name of the actress in the second picture.  What her friends may call her.
               

Nearly lunchtime :-H  There's a corned beef & tomato sarnie with my name on it :)

One of my faves, Pen!  Hope it's got English mustard and perhaps a smidge of salad cream on it.

I'm having chicken salad and chips for tea tonight.  The salad is just an excuse for getting the salad cream out!!  >:D

You're right Jack it is amazing some of the things you pick up along the way.  One of the reasons we find it so enjoyable :)
I meant to say earlier - this reminded me of a new gin that Zoe & I discovered recently.  Mango & Passionfruit.  It's a bit of a lurid colour but delicious with a drop of tonic :)

Home in 15 minutes - can wait!

Hi Pen,

I raised the flag to half-mast this morning.

My rebus is about an event that happened over a hundred years ago that is dominating our television screens this morning.

Well done Jack, a most appropriate rebus on this very special day.
