More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

Hi Pen,

The rebus is not meant to be hard.  It is an experiment to see if a different way of presentation works.

It's not anymore.  Thanks.

Just heard on the news !
Queensland Police are investigating a bunch of Brits impersonating a cricket team.

I hope I don't get to regret these words.

Spot on & very true Michael   The England cricket team are having a shocker.   I'd be more than happy to make you eat your words but I'd be flabbergasted if I get the chance   It's great to win but it's a great shame for the fans who've forked out for tickets if it's not a decent match.  Perhaps Jack's prediction will come true & it'll bucket down with rain

[Ozzyjack]

Hi Pen,

The rain has arrived again but too late to affect the cricket today.  It was great sitting out on the patio, listening to the rain and thunder and watching the lightning.

Blues friends tell him he is a sceptic, but he doesn’t believe a word they say.

Sheila complained that Blue was always thinking about cricket. Eventually, she said to him, “You think nothing but cricket. I bet you don’t even remember the day we were married.” “Of course I do,” said Blue. “It was the day New Zealand won against Ireland.”

A maiden at college, Miss Breeze,
Weighed down by B.A.s and Lit.D's,
Collapsed from the strain,
Said her doctor, "It's plain
You are killing yourself --- by degrees!

Hi Jack

This is my third attempt at a post.  I started 2 this morning & had to abandon them.  Hoping for a gentler afternoon!

I enjoyed your new style rebus & your post really tickled me especially your last cartoon

My simple rebus is an old fashioned expression.

TOAA
Take your pick in the second picture & lose the first letter in the third picture.

         

Can't wait to go home for a cuppa   I might try a rain dance a bit later

[Maudland]

Well, I was pleased to get the answer to your rebus, Jack - I’m normally rubbish at those kind. Fortunately, I got the 8-letter word, and eventually my third brain cell kicked in.

Penny, it looked like your rain dance worked - a bit more locally than you meant? You need to perfect the directing!!

I’ll leave you with a crossword clue from years back, which pleased me. For some reason it’s stuck in my mind. All I can come up with tonight!

Hi Pen,

The Balmy Army are raising the rafters today.


Blue’s grandson was on his first date with a gorgeous girl.

He decided to take her to the local Agricultural show.
.
"There's so many games!" he said, "What do you wanna do?"

"I wanna get weighed." she says, shyly looking at the ground.

They go to the GUESS-Your-WEIGHT booth and she wins a stuffed animal. "What next?" he asks.

"I wanna get weighed." she says, confidently looking at him.

They return to the GUESS-Your-WEIGHT booth and she wins... nothing... The vendor has a good memory. "What now?" he asks, a bit annoyed at the repeat activity.

She looks at him, holding his gaze and carefully says "I Wanna Get  WEIGHED."

He ends the date right there and storms off.

Dejected, the girl goes home to her roommate, who asks, "How was your date?"

She throws the stuffed animal to the ground and shouts, "Wousy!"

Oh, I wish that I had a green thumb.
All my houseplants are looking quite glum.
I never can tell
Why they're looking unwell
Or why so many succumb.

Though houseplants are deemed beneficial,
Should these perish, then it is official:
I'll waste no more dough
Just to watch 'em die slow,
For my next plants will be artificial!

    


I’ll leave you with this.

You're right Madeleine!  It was lashing it down here last night.  I might pay a visit to my local college & see if they do an evening class on Improving your Rain Dancing

Zoe & I tackle the Smellygraph crossword every Saturday so your clue also pleased & tickled me   I remember one from ages ago which was simply "gseg" That pleased me also

Hi Jack

At least they have a bit of something to cheer about now

Your post was very funny - properly tickled me

Mine's going to be a bit condensed today as I've had a very busy day & I need a bit of R&R before I contemplate what I'm having for my tea.

I'm copying a bit of Richard Osman from his House of Games last night for a puzzle.
3 US States.

9 (#6 + #3)


5 (#3 + #2)


4 (#2 + #2)

Most of the pictures are homophones.

Love gseg, Penny, in so many ways!

Hi Madeleine,

John gave me an answer to your crossword puzzle.  I have updated the spoiler alert. I will also repeat it when I do the spoiler alerts tomorrow.

Loved your pickup on Pen's scrambled eggs.

Hi Pen,

I forgot to mention that we have finally got the next series of Endeavour.  I stayed up past my bedtime to watch the third (and they said) final episode tonight.  They have to have another series so that we know what happened to Sam.

A curvaceous lady named Mary
Just loved having sex in the dairy
When smothered with whipped cream
Her beau would lick her clean…
His Calorie intake was scary!!!

    

The subject of my rebus is the pseudonym of a bushranger who operated in Victoria and New South Wales and who was hanged in 1880.

7(#3  #4)   #8   AKA  7(#3  #4)  #9

They both sound the same but the first is the more accepted way he spelt his name while the second makes more sense with current spelling.

Hi Jack

Here's a picture of me earlier 

joking apart the Aussies deserved their win.  England barely turned up

Glad Endeavour has made it to you at last.  Eve thinks, & I tend to agree, there will be another series.  They can't just leave us hanging!
Did you need a pappy nap earlier?

I was a bit stumped for a rebus & came up with a character you probably wouldn't want to meet in 18th century England!

7 (#2 + #5) #6


I have used his given first name rather than the shortened version to try & make it a little tricky.  Please lose the last letter of picture 1 & rearrange the last 3 letters of the vegetable in the last picture.

         

There once was a maid from Madras
Who had a magnificent ass.
Not rounded and pink,
as you’d possibly think;
It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.
