If they remade Fawlty Towers that would now probably be Don't Mention the cricket.  I will heed that advice and it might be a good idea if your Prime Minister did as well.  I have a bit of gratuitous advice for him.


G'day Jack

I'm not going to mention the war or the cricket  :laugh:  I enjoyed your rebus but I'm not sure if I have a very slightly different version to you.

I'm turning to the holy book for my rebus  :angel:

#6 #3 3 #3 #2 3 #4

THETHE
Please change the first letter of picture one and lose the first letter of picture tow. Lose the first two letters of picture four and please pretend it's all on one line.

         

What’s the difference between George Washington and a duck?
One of them has their face on a bill and the other one has a bill on their face.

Leave you with my 4th July silly Dad joke ;D

Hi Pen,

I probably didn't make it clear that my rebus wasn't an idiom even though it used half of a popular idiom.

Was this what you were thinking of?

4(#2 #2) #4  #2 4(#1 #3) #3 #3

The red count is from yesterday's rebus and is not pictured again. Apostrophe in first word not pictured.

   

Picture 1.  Remove last letter
Picture 2.  2 words (8 9).  Use initials.
Picture 3.  Replace the first letter with “G”.
Picture 4.  Remove first letter.

Be Careful what you say.  Now I’ve got hearing aids I can hear you. :D

Hi Jack

That's exactly what I was thinking of  :)

My rebus is a song from the 1960's.

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

THE
Please change the first letter of picture one and then it's a homophone.  Please lose the last letter of picture two and position is vitally important.
I'm not mentioning the cricket!!  Just an excuse for a picture of Jimmy  >:D

               

Not long til home time  :)

Hi Pen,

 

Blue got a new job, but he claimed he was going to pack it in because everyone talks behind his back at work.  I reminded him that it happens to all bus drivers.

In the 15th Century a person of principle was sentenced to be hanged but this was commuted to beheading.  On this day (7 July) the sentence was carried out.  In the 1960s, this film about the events won a shitload of awards.

Answers:          #1  #3  #3  #3  7(#3 #4)
Picture length:    5   8   4   5     5  4

One line.  Where the picture length is greater than the answers use the first letters.
Picture 6.  Ignore the adult.



Today is another important day.  It is Bonnies third birthday.

Not sure #4 is correct for the third word, if the answer is my favourite film of all time about one of the greatest men in English history – more or less.

Hi Jack

That was a cracking rebus about a great film  :)  I enjoyed that it was laid out a bit different to normal. Very clever  :)
 
I can't believe that Bonnie's three already!  What a gorgeous picture  :-*  I've been next door for a spot of lunch and a cuddle and a chat with Lucki  :laugh:

         
 
I'm off to the hairdressers  :-C

Hi Jack

What a great start to Friday - all those wonderful pictures  :)   :-*

We're roasting here today.  I've been up to Barbs' and had a walk and a lovely refreshing lime and soda with lashings of ice!  I'm holed up indoors now with the curtains drawn but I have to venture to the washing line at some point  :laugh:

My rebus is a film from the 1960's.

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

THE
Please use present tense for the first picture and use the last four letters of picture two.  Please lose the last letter of picture three and position is of the utmost importance!

          

Bob: What's the difference between unlawful and illegal Arnold?
Arnold: Umm, illegal is against the law and unlawful is umm, when something takes place that is not necessarily against the law.
Bob: Ayup, lad. You know this is actually supposed to be comedy now. Your answer was supposed to be, 'I don't know Bob, what is the difference between unlawful and illegal?' You're rubbish at this, you want to stick to carpentry, mate.
Arnold: Well you see I'm a very intelligent person and I'm thinking of the intellectual response to that question not the umm, comical one. OK, I'll give you the comical response now.
Bob: Let me ask you the question again: What is the difference between unlawful and illegal?
Arnold: I don't know, what is the difference between unlawful and illegal?
Bob: Unlawful is against the law, and illegal is a sick bird.

What do you get when a grenade is thrown into a French

Leave you with my naff jokes du jour  ;D

Hi Jack
I have to say that Ruby is my kind of dog! I did have one that tried to keep clean and dry whenever possible but the rest tried to look like Ruby does in those pictures! Current cocker Holly is mainly white apparently but prefers to add mud or sand as much as possible.
Happy birthday  Bonnie.

Hi Jack

A flying visit from me.  I'm in the middle of sorting my stuff out and getting ready for the off first thing in the morning.  Just got to throw it all in the suitcase. We have to catch a train into Euston and then walk to Kings Cross to catch the train to York.  Am very much looking forward to it  :)

It's raining at Lords.

       

Better get back to packing.  It's unlikely the fairies have done it  :laugh:

Hi Pen,

I haven't caught up with the women at Lords but it was even wetter at Headingley.  The weather is definitely on the English Side.  As soon as Australia got out, the sun stated to shine.

Have a great holiday.  I guess internet will be restricted to your phone, so keep a diary so you can give us the full details when you get back.   Remember to book your visit to York Minster this time. :D

I had this drafted yesterday before I got distracted,

It was a bit cool (18oC) on the patio at 10.00 this morning with Bonnie

Not a cloud in the sky and not a breath of wind – It was quite pleasant.

Hi Christine,

Ruby is a continuous ball of mischievous energy until she suddenly hits a mental brick wall and then sleeps and then wakes up on the run.
She is very friendly with everybody and is fun to be with for short visits but I am glad we are not full-time carers.  Bonnie was the much same at that age but has always been reserved with people until she gets to know them. 

Fortunately, Ruby doesn't get as much chance to get dirty at home as she did at the beach.
Regards, Jack
