Hi Pen,
I saw a guy on TV who was my age climbing mountains.  I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.

The Copper who pulled up Blue for driving erratically said, “You drinking?
Blue said “You buying
They both laughed and laughed.  Blue needs bail money.

P.S. 4 FOR 316.  Maybe it was a mistake to opt to bowl.  Back to last half hour of snooze.  Hope you had a great day.

Hi Jack

pps It's now 481 for 5 :cry: Rain's stopped play for the moment.  It was definitely the wrong call to bowl first :(  There was no movement at all & the ball just went dead straight.  It swung very slightly once or twice during a cloudy spell but nowt to get excited about.  Felt sorry for the bowlers toiling away with no reward.  Full credit to the Black Caps - they batted brilliantly :)  In spite of everything it was a smashing day out.  Lovely weather & great company :)

My rebus is a book which was published in the 1950's & part of a series.

3 8'1 (#5 + #3) 6

THE'S
Please ignore Her Maj in the second picture.  For the last word you need to know what relation one of these characters is to Donald Duck!

Two guys were sitting in the doctor's surgery. One of them was crying, tears were pouring down his face.
The other guy asked, "Why are you crying?"
The first one replied, "I came here for blood test."
The second one asked, "So? Why are you crying? Are you afraid?"
The first guy replied, "No. Not that. During the blood test they cut my finger."
Hearing this, the second one started crying.
The first one was astonished and asked the other, "Why are you crying?"
Then the second guy replied, "I have come for a urine test."

Zoe's gone off to see the new Jurassic World film.  Hope she doesn't sneeze all the way through :(

I'm going to have a little pappy nap :-Y Leave you with this.  If one more commentator mentions his age again I'll bash them with my rolling pin :laugh:

Hi Pen,

Your comment about sneezing reminded me of a couple of stories I told about Blue back in 2019.  I hope you will forgive me for repeating them

Blue was sitting next to a woman on a crowded train.  All of a sudden the woman sneezed and immediately started to moan and shake all over.

Blue pretended not to notice. Then the woman sneezed again and the convulsions shook her whole body.

Blue said "You orright?  Have you got a cold?

The woman said "No" and then confided in him. She said very quietly "You see I have an unusual medical condition. Every time I sneeze, I get an orgasm". "

Bugger me" said Blue. "you take anything for it?"

"Yes" she said "Pepper".


Sheila noticed Blue standing on the bathroom scales, sucking in his stomach. “Ha! That’s not going to help,” she said.

Sure, it does,” Blue said. “It’s the only way I can see the numbers.”


Given your sensitivity about cricket bowlers, I thought I would target another sport

Hi Jack

Prone to exaggeration?  Moi?  Surely not? >:D  I'm famous for it amongst my family & friends :laugh:

I don't remember Blue's sneezy story but I think you said a while back that some stories & cartoons do bear being repeated.  Anyway it tickled me :laugh:

I've almost certainly used them before but here's a few cricket anecdotes.

'Ray Illingworth has just relieved himself at the pavilion end.'
Brian Johnston, BBC Radio

It was close for Zaheer, Lawson threw his hands in the air and Marsh
threw his head in the air.
Jack Potter, 3UZ

'The slow motion replay doesn't show how fast that delivery was'.
Richie Benaud

On the first day, Logie decided to chance his arm and it came off.
Trevor Bailey, Radio 3

During the 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed Miandad commented that Merv Hughes looked like a fat
bus conductor.
Big Merv dismissed the Pakistani soon after, allegedly
running passed the batsman yelling, 'Tickets please!'

Fred Trueman...
The scene was an Ashes test with England fielding ..... 'and I went back
to my mark and hurtled into the wicket, a rap on the pads, Howzat?  One
for none.
I went back to my mark and hurtled into the wicket and the bails were
off, two for none.
Then in came the great Sir Don Bradman.  I went back to my mark and
hurtled into the wicket, the ball was in the air, a fantastic catch on the
long on boundary, three for three hundred and seventy six.

Here's a nice easy peasy rebus for you.  It's a hit record from the year I was 14 ;D

1 5 2 7 39 (#5 + #4)

THE
A few homophones! Please lose the first letter of the third picture & change the second letter of the last picture.  Past tense for picture four & please pretend it's all on one line.
Not sure you can make out the fifth picture so here's a bit bigger version!


      

Sun's come out so going for a walk :)   England are 229 for 2.

Hi Pen,

That was a great rebus.  I can't match it.  Mine is an idiom, which I wouldn't want anybody to do to me.

#4  2  #2  6( #2  #4)

Watch out for position and homophones.


   

Picture 2.  Two Words but you only want the last 2 letters of one of them.
Picture 3.  You'll be right if you stick with the left.

Not sure you can make out the fourth picture so here's a bit bigger version!

I'll see your idiom, and raise you another...  ;D ;D ;D

The first word is singular; homophone; location, location, location

Hi Jack

I would have to take issue with that & disagree with you  :laugh:  I enjoyed your rebus & John's as well :)

I have a new receptionist who started work with us today & I'm showing her the ropes so it really is a flying visit today!

Another idiom

#3 #5 #2 2 #3 #6
Location, location, location; image 2, second half only; image 4, middle two letters; image 5, at a stretch, it’s what has happened in the right picture 😉 Conceptually, one line...

Greetings from a very chilly, damp & dismal Bletchley! 
I'm off to Trent Bridge on Friday - hope it cheers up by then.  Mind you this weather matches England's abysmal batting performance :(

Hi Pen,

I forgot to mention that a few days ago we had the coldest June morning here since 1904.  I think it got down to 5oC.  If this cold snap doesn’t end soon, I think we’ll sell up and move to Cairns. :D

One each.  Could be an interesting test series.

A short idiom as your rebus for today.

#5  #4


Picture 1.  Anagram
Picture 2. Homophone.
