Hi Jack

A very touching and poignant rebus.  I echo Mike's sentiment.  Although I studied the first World War for O' level history I've sadly forgotten more than I remember.

My rebus is a book published in 1929. I haven't read it though I did see the film made in the 1950's.
#1 8 (#4 + #4) #2 #4

A

I suspect you'll find this a bit easy but I was struggling to find something to follow yours.   I don't doubt that the book is better than the film.

        
The last one is for Les >:D

I had to consult Ms Google to find out what pork snags were :laugh:  Should've guessed!

A bird stole my sausage when I went to the beach...
it was a tern for the wurst!

What do you call a cruise liner full of psychologists?
A Freudian ship!

Leave you with a couple of very naff Dad jokes ;D

If life gives you lemons, add a large gin & some tonic...

SPOILER ALERT – My rebus  - although I think everybody would have got it

SPOILER ALERT – Pen’s Rebus

Hi Pen,

I thought today I would make my rebus an excerpt of a Prime Minister’s speech.  My first attempt was “Never was so much owed by so many to so few”.  It proved to be too long and a bit obvious.  So I have chosen a simple one from another Prime Minister who delivered a speech in the time between Churchill’s two periods of office and it was in the context of describing the objectives of his political party.

3  #5  2  3  #4

The 3 letter words are “the” so I have not pictured them.

Morning Jack


I'm definitely only firing on one cylinder this morning :-Y

I think I've got to grips with your very clever rebus :)

My rebus is a novel by an excellent British author.

#4 9'1 (#4 + #5'1) #3



Please lose a letter from the last picture.  You're not interested in the gent in picture 3 but what he's wearing.

SPOILER ALERT - My Last rebus

SPOILER ALERT - Pen's very clever rebus


I'm definitely only firing on one cylinder this morning :-Y

If you are a one-cylinder motor, Pen, that is a cause for celebration.  If you are an 8-cylinder motor, you should have gone straight back to bed.

There are two things I am unhappy with in Brisbane at the moment.  First, the mango season has ended and my breakfasts are the poorer for it. Second, the midge season has begun early and my legs are as itchy as hell.

Apart from that, life would be pretty good if there were 30 hours in a day.

An essential receptionist’s skill

   

Sheila comes home from her doctor's appointment grinning from ear to ear. Blue  asks, "Why are you so happy?" Sheila says, "The doctor told me that for a forty-five year old woman, I have the breasts of a eighteen year old." "Oh yeah?" quipped Blue, "What did he say about your forty-five year old arse?" Sheila said, "Your name never came up in the conversation."

Q: Why did the can crusher quit his job?
A: Because it was soda pressing.

This Guardian article tells the story    but this cartoon nails it

Hi Carol

I can't get the spoilers open either.

The man shooting the gun in my second picture needs what the gent in the third picture is wearing!  Not sure if that helps or not.  I think you call them the same as us! Lose the last letter of the fourth picture. 

Pleased your effing f is mended :laugh:

Hi Jack

I thoroughly enjoyed your post - it really tickled me :laugh:


Maybe you should copy DI Neville in Death in Paradise & get one of those sprays to fight the midges ;D

The essential receptionist skill was very funny but the cartoon that nailed it nailed it - hilarious :laugh:

An elderly couple, George & Mildred retired & moved to Texas.  George had always had a hankering for a pair of snazzy cowboy boots & seeing some in the sale he bought a pair.
He walked proudly into the kitchen & sauntered around & said to Mildred "Notice anything different?"
Mildred looked him up & down & said "Nope!"
George stomped off to the bathroom & took off all his clothes & then went back to the kitchen, totally naked except for his new boots.  He turned to Mildred & said "Notice anything different NOW?"
Mildred looked at his naked body & said "George you know what, nothings changed.  It was hanging down yesterday, it's hanging down today & it'll be hanging down again tomorrow!"
George was furious & yelled "Do you know why it's hanging down Mildred?"
"It's hanging down to admire my lovely new boots!!"
Without batting an eyelid Mildred turned round & said "Should have bought a hat George.  Should have brought a hat!"
I think that last joke is a repeat but I don't care because it made me laugh ;D

      

Leave you with a small randomish assortment.  Nearly lunchtime| - cheese & marmite sarnies for me :-H  Shame I can't toast them!

Working perfectly now Jack :)

A quick & easy little puzzle which is a poem.

I had a feeling that I'd used this before but I've searched & searched & can't find it so fingers crossed.
