Somebody taking sneaky pictures in my gymnasium?

It can't be you, Tony, you're not a jerk.

I would have made a comment on your rebus if I could have remembered that out-of-date cricketer you keep defending.    >:D


Hi Jack

Are you talking about the Burnley Express?  :) 


Clinic's a bit busy at moment.  I'll try & attempt a proper post in a while when it quietens down a bit.

Not as easy as this one.


Oh Jack as if! exaggerate?! me?  Perish the thought :laugh:

I thought your rebus was very clever :)

I've been watching a fairly new series called Professor T which I've found to be enjoyable & a bit different.  It has Ben Miller, who was in Johnny English and Death in Paradise.  Do you remember Miss Jones in Rising Damp?  Frances de la Tour is his mother.
My rebus is is one of the earlier episodes.

I suspect this may be a bit simple!  You need the first name of the actor in the third picture.  Hoping the picture might throw you a bit but I doubt it :laugh:

             

Not long til lunch thank goodness  :-H  Cheese & tomato sarnies with a little of our favourite condiment  - just in case Linda's tuning in  :)

Hi Penny
we are loving Professor T as it is certainly very different! I rather like the mad secretary character. She might do well in your job coping with the more unusual patients!
Have you tried Astrid. Murder in Paris on Channel 4? She is also a very different character. (It is sub titled from the French.)
In both cases these programmes seem to manage to combine fairly nitty gritty policing with quirky humour (as does death in Paradise) which to me is the best type of programme.

Thanks for that Christine I'll search for Astrid, Murder in Paris.  I think the mad secretary is hilarious - totally bonkers.  I totally agree with you it is a great combination of policing & humour.
I've probably said it before but I love McDonald & Dodds.  The interaction between the two lead characters is brilliant.

Hi Pen

Tuna, spring onion and lashings of our fave condiment for my lunch!  Just wondering, as you love rebus puzzles so much, have you ever seen Riddiculous?  You may not have as it's on in the afternoons and I am becoming a daytime TV expert at the moment!  It's quite good and is a mixture of general knowledge questions and riddles - some easy, some not.  If you ever get a spare afternoon to yourself, check it out.  Rather annoying presenter but you can't have everything!!  >:D

Hi Linda. Corned beef & tomato for me. Yours sounds delish :-H
I'll find that programme & record it & let you know. I like House of Games but some of the contestants make me grind my teeth >:(

Hi Pen,

How do you keep coming up with such good cartoons?

I've just got a simple little idiom for you.

#7   2  1   #4




Position important.  1 homophone. indefinite article not pictured
Picture 1.  You get it up to 7 by making a present participle of it.

Hi Jack

How do you keep coming up with such good rebuses?  You've had some real corkers just lately ;)  I do have to trawl about for the cartoons & I'm fairly sure I've repeated quite a few.  If they're funny then I suspect nobody would hold it against me :)

My rebus is a film from the 1970's which caused quite a stir at the time.

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


Please use the middle two letters of picture four & it's all on one line.

          

A Scottish atheist, Dougie McTavish,  was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat at least a hundred feet into the air. It then opened its mouth waiting below to swallow them both.
As Dougie sailed head over heels and started to fall towards the open jaws of the ferocious beast, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Please help me!"
Suddenly, the scene froze in place and as the atheist hung in mid air, a booming voice came out of the clouds and said, "I thought you didn't believe in me!"
"God, come on, give me a break!" Dougie pleaded, "Just seconds ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!"

It's that time again...

Hi Pen,

A bit too risqué and dark for me but it made a great rebus.

My idiom is generally a lot of rubbish.

7(#4  #3)  3  6(#3  #3)

One line.  Conjunction not pictured.
Picture 1.  Ditch the "a"
Pictures 2 and 4. Use the first letters to get the same result.

Hi Jack

Not my cup of tea at all!  I think I managed to watch about 10 minutes of it many moons ago but that was all.

I thought your idiom was the opposite of rubbish :laugh:  I did struggle with the first picture but got it up on my laptop by clicking on it.

A quick & very easy rebus from me today as I'm off to visit a friend for a cuppa in a bit :)  It's a film which I initially thought was released in the 1970's but when I double checked it was a decade earlier.

#3 #7 #5


Please ignore the bed in the first picture.
Time I wasn't here.

Hi Pen,

I didn't mean the rebus was rubbish.  Perhaps I should have said the answer could be trash or treasure.

   

My rebus today might stretch you a bit more but will be a breeze to any Aussie grey nomads.  It is a song by an Australian folk singer/song writer.

6(#2 #4)  #4  3  #4  #7   7(#3  #4)

One line.  Definite article not pictured.
Picture 3.  Ditch the first letter
Picture 6.  Use the last 3 letters of the country.

 

Regards, Jack

Hi Jack

I'm sorry!  When I said that your rebus was the opposite of rubbish I mean it was a really good one  ;)  I have an answer for your stretchy rebus but have no idea if I'm right :laugh:

I think I inadvertently...
#3 #3 #2 3 #6 #4

THE
You need any lady in picture two.  Please lose the first letter of picture three & change the first letter of picture five.  You're looking for the surname of the gent in the middle of picture four & please pretend it's all on one line.  (I hope the Goodies made it your way!)

It was a nice sunny morning here & I've been for a lovely walk with Andy next door and Lucki :)  We've had the best of the day as they're forecasting more torrential rain in a while :(

           

Andy said he caught his wife dipping a pile of £10 and £20 notes in batter, and then deep frying them...
He said "I wish she wouldn't fritter our money away like that!"
