More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

Hi Moyra,

I am only a couple of chapters in but already I would agree with your assessment.

Two other Books you might like to look into.

Alan's mother also wrote a book and Alan also created a website for it. It is worth investigating

The subject of Pen's rebus is also a great read.  If you haven't already read it, it would be worthwhile following up.

Thanks Jack...I'll definitely look into those. Alan certainly comes from an interesting background. And to think we started out just looking for a word puzzle to play online!!

Glad you liked No Sunlight Singing, auntiemo. And thanks for drawing forumites' attention to the books, Ozzyjack. No doubt I posted in the forum about them when I set up the websites, but that was many years ago.

No doubt I posted in the forum about them when I set up the websites, but that was many years ago.

It was serendipity that I found this reference.  I was researching something entirely different at the time.

I've recently created a website - www.nosunlightsinging.com - about a book my father wrote fifty years ago. It's nothing to do with word games, although the site does have a glossary of Australian words used in the book.

The concept of reconciliation: strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians, is becoming increasingly accepted.  One of the key tools of reconciliation is truth-telling.

In this regard, No Sunlight Singing should be more widely read.

Couldn't agree more with Ozzyjack's comments.

Hear, hear - ozzyjack...

...and now for something completely different, another song rebus!!!

A song from an American band who couldn’t be bothered naming their albums…

Hi Jack

Greetings from a very blustery Bletchley! We've been for a walk & I now look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards

I was a bit stumped for a puzzle today so I'm simply going to use the name of the village pub my Mum & Dad ran for many years!

#3 7 (#5 + #2) 6 (#4 + #2)

You're not interested in the actor or his character in picture one.  Simply what he is.  Please lose the first letter of the second picture.

         

An anteater walk into a bar and the barman asks "Can I get you a drink?"
"Noooooooooooooooo" says the anteater.
"How about something to eat?" says the barman.
"Noooooooooooooooo" says the anteater.
"Peanuts?"
"Noooooooooooooooo" is the reply.
Frustrated the barman asks "What's with the long no's?"

Leave you with a naff joke

Hi Again Jack. The pub was in a little village called Newton Longville. About 2 miles from where I am now

Hi Pen,

Greetings from Balmy Brisbane, a bit warm but nothing a cold beer can't fix.

For his birthday, Blue got his son an alarm clock that swears at him instead of beeping.  He is in for a rude awakening.

Sheila told blue to get help with his drinking.  So he hired a barman.

       

Google assures me this is a good read that was published last year.

Location Location   Location. Hint - the last picture roughly rhymes with Location. Homophones abound.

6(#3   #3)   #2   #4    2   #8

   
                   

Hint: the identical pictures need to be interpreted differently.

I’ll leave you with a suggestion where to eat tonight

Hi Jack

Further greetings from a beautifully sunny & chilly Bletchley.  Windy wind has gone & it's a lovely day   I hope you enjoyed your cold beer in a nice shady spot in the garden!

I can't believe you found a picture of The Billet   When my Mum & Dad kept it all those years ago it was just a normal boozer.  Dart team, dominoes & a Sunday football team.  Food was sarnies & a ploughmans lunch.  It eventually ended up being sold by the brewery & turned into a posh expensive restaurant.  Ended up in the Good Food Guide.  In recent years it's changed hands several times & I'm told it's not a patch on how it used to be.

Anyway, my compliments on your rebus - it's a real cracker

My rebus is a sitcom which only ran for 12 episodes. I suspect you'll find this far too easy!

& the first ever episode

On a quiet country road a local Bobby pulled this farmer over and said: "Sir, do you realise your wife fell out of the car several miles back?"
To which the farmer replied: "Thank God, I thought I had gone deaf!"

Leave you with this

Thanks, John, for picking up the error I made and the suggestion on how I could be more forthcoming about homophones.

G'day Jack



It's a busy Monday morning.  It's perishing cold & my hands are frozen.  Be glad when it's lunchtime.  I think I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning

My rebus today is a classic 19th century novel.  I'm really hoping it's not one I've used before.

Nearly lunchtime thank goodness.  I've got a yummy egg & tomato sarnie waiting for me

Hi Pen,

Easy-peasy. I looked up the address in Google, fed that into google maps, turned on street view, took a screen dump, cropped the picture and stored it and Robert is your avuncular relative.
         
Sorry, that’s all I’m good for tonight.
