More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

My rebus today is the final part of an Irish benediction.
It is also the title of a 2007 US film, the last one made by the renowned director Sidney Lumet before his death a few years later.
It's a crime thriller with, as with most of Lumet's films, a touch of comedy.

You fooled me completely yesterday, Jack. most especially with picture 3.
I saw it as 'stew' and I couldn't see how there could be a three-letter word 'ste'!
'Hash'. I should try to start thinking 'American' at such times!

Hi Pen,
Blue dropped in to tell me recent research shows the effects of alcohol on a person's walk was staggering.

I asked him, “If I’m cremated, will I still be allowed in the cemetery?”
He replied, “You'll have to urn your way in but just tell them to kiss your ash if there’s any issues”.

     
   

Enough Nostalgia and feel good stories.  My rebus  is a first novel by a female author published this year and by the blurb it is a shocker.

It's funny Mike you had me completely flummoxed yesterday! I managed to solve Jack's.
I love a bit of corned beef hash

Hi Jack

A busy Monday at work.  I swapped over today -I've solved Mike's rebus but am stumped by yours at the minute!

My offering is a novel published in the 1980's.

[mkenuk]

At a total loss with yesterday's rebus, Jack, I had to resort to the spoiler.
It's a novel I've never heard of, I'm afraid, but from your notes it sounds as though it might well be a Netflix/HBO/Sky 10-part serial before much longer!

Today I give you a blues classic, 1956 by Screaming Jay Hawkins. It's been covered many times by different performers from Nina Simone to Alan Price

Hi Mike,

Now you know how how I feel when the topics are pop music, art, most films and many other topics which I have little or no knowledge of.

I had never heard of that movie either until I googled "2021 movies".  I didn't include the plot in the write-up because it was so ghastly that I never want to see it. 

I've had my bit of fun, I'll get back to rebuses on topics which should be more widely known or, at least, have same merit.

I was shocked to hear about that terrible home invasion in the beautiful & normally very quite little suburb of Coorparoo.
Jack, i can only imagine how you & June must have felt when the first sketchy reports came through & how relieved you were to find out that it was not your family that was involved.
The latest report has all of the victims recovering in hospital & two 15 year old " kids " arrested.

Hi Jack

Greetings from Bletchley on a chilly, wet, summers morning!

I was having a trawl through Ms Google & found a song by accident!  It was released in 1917.

For a little supplementary question can you please truffle out the connection between the song & this lady?


      

I've got to

[mkenuk]

Pen
I really didn't believe that the song in your rebus was so old.
It has a much more modern 'feel' to it, but Uncle Wiki confirms it.

The tune of course, as opposed to the song, is much older  - by almost a hundred years, as I'm sure Jack will point out in his notes.

Hi Pen,
Some while ago you mentioned the tv series MASH.
You can watch it on Freeview channel 49, Mon-Fri, between 7pm & 8pm.
Unless it’s a bank/public holiday when it gives way to some or other nonsense.
Compulsory viewing in our house.
Cheers,
Tony

[Hobbit]

Thanks Tony that's fab! I shall definitely search that out.  There is very little on the mainstream channels that I watch now.  I'm sticking with Professor T for the moment as I love Ben Miller but it is a bit on the odd side.

[Hobbit]

I really didn't believe that the song in your rebus was so old.

I thought exactly the same Mike.  I actually triple checked the date to make sure I hadn't made a mistake
