More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

Hi Jack

Loved the lighter & cartoons!

Sadly I'm hot as in glowing rather than hot like Elle Macpherson   As you know I'm a short arse - 5 foot nothing!  So no resemblance to Ms Macpherson in any shape or form

I am bursting to give you a clue but I'm going to sit on my hands & wait for you to get it tomorrow morning or for somebody to chip in   I'm certain you wont have a problem when you look at it with a fresh pair of eyes.

I definitely wont mention the Bosch
(Still can't believe they wanted to ban that episode of Fawlty Towers )

Leave you with a couple of daft cartoons.  They tickled me

Helping out with the 'Far from the madding crowd' connection, Jack. The two movies could have something in common which has a vague connection with philately.

Very well spotted, Rose.

Two more classic Aussie films, the 'top' one probably better known than the other.

Top - two words [9 and 6]
Bottom - two words [4 and 5] I've ignored a punctuation mark

I can't think of a link between the two, but if anyone can find one, shout it out.

Hi Mike

The only connection I can come up with is Shorts

[Hobbit]

That's a cracking clue Rose

Great puzzles Mike.  The cake looks good - could do with a slice of that to go with my mid-morning cuppa!  I solved both of them but will keep quiet in case other folks want to have a crack at them.  I can't find a link between the 2 films.

G'day Jack

Hope you are feeling tickety-boo this evening

I've decided to use a British film for my puzzle today.  3# 4# 4# 6 (3/3)#  surnames of the 2 ladies

The
For your bonus please say what is the connection with this


          

Roll on lunchtime & I can take my wretched mask off for half an hour!
Cheese & coleslaw today Linda

[Linda]

Ham, tomato and salad cream for me, Pen! 

Very humid today - getting a headache which is unusual for me.  Thankfully, all fairly quiet at work today, no smelly farmers and very few phone calls but lots of dictation and more emails then I care to look at!  Roll  on Wednesday evening - I will be sinking an Oyster Bay or two while watching Sewing Bee.  Don't know why I watch it really as I detest sewing - can barely manage to sew on a button!! 

[Hobbit]

I love ham, tomato & salad cream Linda yummy!

It's very humid & sticky here too & I also have a headache.  The mask doesn't help as it makes you very dry & thirsty & it seems that however much water you drink it doesn't help!

Well I honestly didn't think there was much more we could have in common but I hate sewing & am useless at it   I can just about sew a button on & stitch up a hem but it always looks like a toddler's been at it

Hope the rest of your day stays quiet with no more smelly visitors banging on your door!

It'll be Wednesday evening before you know it

Thanks, Rose, I’ll add Terrence to my Stamp colllection.

A great collage, Mike.

One link is they had quotes which have become well-known Australian idioms.

“Call that a knife, this is a knife”

“The only poll that matters is the one on election night”. John Gorton in a cameo appearance.  Unfortunately, it was three more years before “It’s Time”

Hope you are feeling tickety-boo this evening

Hi Pen,

I am Tikal babu.   I woke up with a question in my mind. “If you do a double shift, do you get a day off  in loo? 

If so that would explain how you had the time to construct such a clever puzzle. The day two days before Easter can seem interminably long. I assume you were after the surnames of the female actors because I couldn’t find surnames for Victoria and Carol.

The connection raised another question. Why didn’t they give Bob the role of Roger rather than Eddie Valiant?

Ontrac at 8, so I must

[Hobbit]

Hi Jack

Glad you're Tikal babu
Is that the same as this happy furry creature?


Unfortunately I don't get a whole day in loo as it wasn't a full double shift.  My normal day is 9 hours so I just get 2 & a half hours back.  Better than a slap in the face with a wet cod fish   I do have tomorrow off so 2 days to restore my equilibrium   Got to come in on Saturday though

Top marks for my puzzle   I remember it being a good, if somewhat gritty, film.  Again I don't know how well it would stand up now.

Hey Linda cheese tomato & salad cream today
Hope your day jogging along ok.  Soon be going home time & you can enjoy a glass (or 3 ) of Oyster Bay
We had a thunder storm yesterday tea time with more forecast for later on.  I was trying to fry an egg to go with my bangers & chips & shouting at it to go away

[Linda]

Hi Pen

Cumberland sausages and tomato ketchup in a large white roll for me today!  Naughty but so nice as I feel I deserve a treat.  Had the afternoon from hell yesterday.  Phone ringing constantly, loads of complicated emails and attachments to send and a headache.  Never mind, in four hours I will be back on furlough for three weeks!! 

We had a torrential downpour yesterday but disappointingly no thunderstorm. 

So pleased that you have an aversion to sewing - not sure I could ever get on with someone who loved it!!

Have a good 'un!
