More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

[Hobbit]

After your relaxing Friday, you should be in fine fettle to solve today’s rebuses.  Mike’s was a cracker and I needed Google to help solve it.  It was only after I knew the answer that I realised how clever the clues were.

Hi Jack

Both Mike's & your rebus were crackers Very clever & more than a bit sneaky   Like you we did suss Mike's with a bit of help from Ms Google.  We've got half of yours but have hit a brick wall!!

My rebus, by comparison, is a lot easier!

It's a hit record from when I was just a mere 12 years old!

#5 #2 #2 9 (#6 + #3)


Please lose the last letter of the second picture & change the first letter of the fourth picture.

         

When I found out I was holding the taser the wrong way round I was stunned!

Has anyone else ever used WD40 to get rid of mice?
It doesn't work, but it stops them squeaking!

Kylie told me that Blue asked Sheila to polish his medieval battle uniform while he went to the pub…
Apparently he said she always wanted a night in, shining armour!

Leave you with a couple of naff jokes

SPOILER ALERT - Mike's rebus

SPOILER ALERT - My rebus

SPOILER ALERT - Pen's rebus

I'm off like a bucket of prawns in the hot sun.

A double header today.
The main prize goes to the one who can spot the link between the two answers.
First, a piece of music. The 'Orchestral Interlude' from Rimsky-Korsakov's opera 'The Tale of Tsar Saltan'.
How is it better known?

five words including two definite articles and an 'of' which are not pictured - 3/6/2/3/9

[mkenuk]

Secondly, a man's name.
Possibly the most famous headmaster in the whole of English literature.

two words - 5/10

picture 1 - the first name only

Remember - you need to find a link between this answer and the previous one.

Hi Pen,

I’ve got a conundrum for you.  If Pen is mightier than the sword why do actions speak louder than words?

Ambrose Bierce said puns are ‘the form of wit, to which wise men stoop and fools aspire’. But they are still fun and even more fun when you combine them with a riddle.

My Ambrose is a riddle.

#4  #3  #4   #4  #3   #5 ?

  ?
Picture 2 and 5.  First 3 letters.

P.S.  I posted this before I saw Mike's rebuses.  It brought the following quote from the story of the Marriage of Cana to mind.

"Most couples served the best wine first, he said, then brought out cheaper wine after the guests had too much to drink and would not notice. “You have saved the best till now,” he told them (John 2:10, NIV).

[mkenuk]

I know two answers to that riddle, Jack.
One of them is slightly 'sick', but both are quite witty.

[Ozzyjack]

In the fulness of time, Mike, I would like to hear the "sick" one.  The only one in my mind was quite mundane.

I must go and research the link between your two answers,

P.S.  Got it.

Hi Jack

Was your shower broken this morning?

Both Mike & yourself are really excelling yourselves in the rebus department   I've solved all three rebuses but haven't managed to find the link between Mike's 2 & the answer to your riddle.  Does that mean I get 7/10 for effort?

I'm going to attempt 2 rebuses.  There is a very vague link!
The first is a quote from a well known Shakespeare play.
#3 7 (#3 + #4) #6


Please change the first letter of the second picture.

The second is a novel by a brilliant & prolific crime writer.
#7 7 (#4 + #3) #4


Please remove the first letter of the rugger bugger's first name.  You're not interested in the gents in the last picture.

         

The kettles calling me...

SPOILER ALERT - Mike's first of two rebuses

SPOILER ALERT - Mike's second of two rebuses and the relationship between the two

SPOILER ALERT - My rebus

SPOILER ALERT - Pen's first of two rebuses

SPOILER ALERT - Pen's second of two rebuses

[mkenuk]

Ah. You seem to have missed my first answer to the riddle, Jack.

'What has four legs and flies?' - Two pairs of trousers!
The second ('slightly sick') answer, of course is 'a dead dog'.

I learned 'dumbledore' from Chi, by the way. There was a thread on the forum a few years ago about characters in literature whose names were acceptable in Chi ('scrooge', 'shylock' etc). I think I rather facetiously suggested 'Dumbledore', whereon Alan pointed out that it really was a west-country dialect word for 'bumblebee'.
I have actually come across it a couple of times since then, once in a Thomas Hardy novel and at least once in TV dramas set in Cornwall. 'Poldark', maybe?

[mkenuk]

In UK back in 1976, Friday night was always thought of as 'lads' night out'.
While the boys were out with their mates, their 'better halves' would stay in, hooked to this rather steamy (for the time) ITV drama serial.

four words, including an unpictured 'of' - - 7/2/6/4

Was your shower broken this morning?
I've solved all three rebuses but haven't managed to find the link between Mike's 2 & the answer to your riddle. 
I'm going to attempt 2 rebuses. 

Pen, I'll have you know I have a shower every month whether I need one or not.

If you can find a link between my rebus and Mike's 2 that would be a bonus because none was intended.

Your fiendish rebuses were a bit hard when I discovered them at 3 this morning. They were very clever.

My rebus is a mock-heroic narrative poem written in the early 18th Century and its author.

#4  2  3  #4  2   #9  #4

“of”  “the”  “by”  not pictured.

        

Picture 1.  The only 4 letter word in the name of the picture.
Picture 3 and 4. Different facets of the same man.

I am going to take off like a rat up a drainpipe.

[mkenuk]

That takes me back a few years.
It was one of our A-level set books!

Hi Jack

Sarcastic?  Moi??  perish the though

I remember watching the programme which is the subject of Mike's rebus.  It was rather steamy & shocking at the time.  Nobody would bat an eyelid now   I had a feeling that it was remade more recently but I may have dreamt that!

Struggling with your rebus but will return to it a little bit later. 

My rebus is a book which was adapted into a TV series in the 1980's.

8 (#4 + #4) 9 (#4 + #2 + #3)


Please reverse the last picture.
