More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

[Hobbit]

Hope you've recovered from your trip now and will treat yourself to a relaxing evening in front of the TV with a large glass of something pink! 

Went over to Keswick today as I had my eye on a top from Seasalt but found that the flaming shop was closed just for today - typical!     Might look out an old Midsomer to watch tonight accompanied by a glass or two of dry white.  The high life!! 

I'm feeling a bit more human now thanks

I have a bottle of pink plonk chilling in the fridge for ron   We know how to live life on the edge don't we? Zoe's coming for tea - M&S best ever sausage rolls yum
It'll be a film for us as she's not a fan of Midsomer - boo!!

How bloody annoying to find that shop shut grrr 

Have a great evening

I went to Uni in Hull and was a resident of The Lawns Halls of residence in Cottingham! 10 years earlier my brother had a room in Hallgate Cottingham when he was at the Uni. Cott was a lovely place. I believe it claimed to be the largest village in England but I think that is a widely challenged claim! Just up the road on the way to Beverley was a windmill which I discovered had a piece of machinery made by the company my father worked for from the age of 14 alongside his father and uncle. I watched the early stages of the construction of the Humber Bridge during my time there.

That's amazing Christine!  It's many years since I was there but I do remember it being a really nice place.  I remember visiting Beverley & being driven up the coast to Hornsea where they make the pottery.  Also seeing loads of puffins.  I'm afraid all I remember about Hull is visiting William Wilberforce's house!  In my defence it was about 40 odd years ago

Hi Pen,

Even though you didn't get to tick all your boxes, it sounds like you still had a great time.

The Jorvik Centre must be really great.  We based ourselves in York for our three-day tour of Yorkshire in 2010 and so it was easy to go around and check on the queues.  We did that 3 times and each time the queues were so long we decided to leave it to the next time we would be in York.  It looks like that will only be in our dreams at this stage.

Have a great rest.  It looks like it will only be mildly warm over your weekend. Pity us, we are in the middle of a cold windy and wet stretch (for Brisbane that is  )

Hi Jack

Thanks   I'm not back in work until Tuesday so I'm going to chill out for the next couple of days.  There's no sun here today but it's very muggy & sticky.  Are you looking for sympathy?   It looks like your weather's looking up tomorrow.  Sunday says 22^oc.  Sunny with a 0% chance of rain!

We did have a great time   I'll see your picture & attach my own offering.  I tried to attach my picture of the Shambles but it was distorted so I've replaced it with Whitby Abbey!

I didn't solve your latest rebus but I'll have another bash at it later.  Here's an easy one from me. A cautionary expression
4 (3'1) #3 #4 #5 #4


Position is important.  You need the American spelling of the first picture & replace the fourth letter with a bit of punctuation.

      

Leave you with this.

Pen’s rebus

My rebus

[Ozzyjack]

Hi Pen,

You forgot to tell us that while you were in Yorkshire you gave an aerobics class for a group of well-to-do ladies.  My spies tell me you said "OK ladies, let's start with a warm-up. Hands on thighs!"
And the ladies, in unison, put their hands over their eyes!

The rebus is an idiom about a result that is important to achieve.

7(#3  #4)  #4  #4  5 #5




Pictures 1-4 conceptually on line 1.  Picture 5 on line 2
A possessive apostrophe has to be inserted appropriately.  Only one homophone.

Hi Jack

That properly tickled me

I'm having a lovely lazy day   They're re-surfacing the road at the end of our close & I can't get my car out so I've been for walk & as it's a lot cooler today I really enjoyed it.  We've even had a little shower!  It didn't last very long but it was better than nothing.  I did check with the men doing the work that I'd be able to get my car out to go to work tomorrow & they assured me that they don't start work until 9.30am & have to be done by 4.30 so I shouldn't have a problem.

That was a great rebus   Mine is a book published in the 19th century & has a connection with my trip last week.

#3 6 (#3 + #3) #2 8 (#4 + #4) #4

Please ignore the fish in the first picture & reverse what's left.  You need the last two letters of the third picture & the surname of the gent in picture four.  Please change the first letter of the last picture & pretend it's all on one line.

I have a horse that only likes running at certain times of the evening...
She's a nightmare!

Little Freddie is sitting on a bench in the park with his Granddad. Freddie asked, "Granddad are you going to take that new Viagra?"
His Granddad looks at him and says, "No Freddie, I will not."
"But Granddad, why not?" asks Freddie.
Granddad replies, "Because there is no sense in putting lead in your pencil if you have no one to write to."

Hi Pen,

Slept in this morning, so here is instalment one

Slept in this morning,

Hi Jack

I nearly overslept this morning   I think I'm sleeping better now it's a bit cooler at night.

Here's a nice easy rebus for you.  It's a film from 1993.

9 (#5 + #4) #2 7 (#3 + #5)

IN
Please lose the first letter of the last picture.  You need to run the last two pictures into one another.  Sorry the sums are a bit wonky

           
Sorry I think I may have used the second one before

It's a sunny morning in the forest and the Bear family are just waking up.
Baby Bear goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the table. He looks into his small bowl. It is empty!
"Who's been eating my porridge?!" he squeaks.
Daddy Bear arrives at the table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his big bowl. It is also empty!
"Who's been eating my porridge?!" he roars.
Mummy Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and screams, "For God's sake, how many times do we have to go through this? I haven't made the porridge yet!!"

Hi Pen,

I’m sleeping well but it is hard to get up when you are in a nice warm bed and it is 9^oC outside.  It took me a while to solve your clever rebus.

Ok, Pen, sorry. I have lots of jokes about retired people, but none of them work.

Hi Pen,

My rebus is a 1980s crime film

#3(7) #4, #3(7) #5, #3(5-3)  #4   #1  #3(6)   #5



Commas are not pictured.  Three letter words are derived from the first syllable of their picture, the length of which is given in parentheses. Conceptually one line.

I don't think I can make it any easier.


Picture 9.  Remove the first letter.
