More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

[Hobbit]

re the Rumour that Pen is related to the subject of my last rebus:
I'm fairly sure that Pen doesn't have large, hairy feet (well brushed when visitors are expected) with naturally leather-like soles. So, probably not a blood relation.

No Mike I definitely haven't got large hairy feet   It is quite a funny coincidence though that Ray's nickname for me was Hobbit!  It used to tickle folks & they always asked if I had hairy feet or toes!  It was more to do with the fact that I'm vertically challenged rather than having hairy appendages!!  I do miss him - even all these years on.

Hi Pen, 

That was a prodigious effort.  You’ve got Mike and I scrambling to keep up with you. Well Done.

    

My rebus is the title of a recent American Novel and a current TV series about a 19th Century bid to gain freedom.

Hi Jack

I'm back at work & it feels a bit like wading through treacle this morning!  I'm sure it'll get better as the day wears on.  I loved the golf cartoons - made me laugh out loud

I thought I should make an effort as I've been hanging on to yours & Mike's coattails (should that be hyphenated?!) recently.  I think you might find me sadly lacking today   I think I have your rebus sorted but I'll wait for the spoiler

I've moved onto opera for my rebus.

Sorry think I may be on a repeat with a couple of those!#

It's only just after 11am & the thought of your fillet roast is making my mouth water

To accompany your opera, Pen, I give you a 1961 b/w British film starring Deborah Kerr.

For a large bonus point, please tell me the link between your opera and my film.

two words - 3/9

[Hobbit]

I think I have your film Mike but I can't claim the large bonus point.  I might consult Ms Google...

Hi Pen,

Greetings from Coorparoo.  Andrew and I are over here doing some dog-sitting while June and Cathy are shopping.

You are much too modest about your contribution to the rebuses.  Great jokes too, particularly the one about the manure and the fan.

My rebus is a follow-on from the last one.  The subject is an African-American Civil War scout, spy, nurse, suffragist, and civil rights activist.

'The Innocents' was the very first X-certificate film I saw legally. (in the early 1960s in UK, 16 was the minimum age for watching 'X'-rated films).
I'm pretty sure I didn't really understand it (What did a 16-year old know of the ideas of sexual deprivation producing hysteria in women?!), but I do remember that it scared the living daylights out of me! My walk home that night past the local cemetery was quite nerve-wracking.

Nor did I have any idea at the time that I would one day have to teach Henry James's novella to an A-level Eng. Lit class!

In addition to the 1961 film, BBC did a version of it (as 'Turn of the Screw') for their 'Christmas Ghost Story' a few years ago.

Bet that was very scary Mike. It's the sort of thing that stays with you.

I'm hopping mad & very cross with myself for not thinking about the Henry James novel. I haven't read it but of course I have heard of it.  Could have earned myself an extra enormous bonus point

This one is quite American, although it has things in common with older European legends

Hi Jack

Greetings from Bletchley.  I'm fairly sure that you & Andrew definitely got the better part of that deal   I'd take dog sitting over shopping any day of the week.  I'm sure I've mentioned more than once that I hate shopping with a passion

I had a mozzie & a fly in my bedroom last night    Every time I switched the light off I could hear them buzzing & dive bombing me.  I was still trying to swat them at 12.30.  This morning I look & feel like this.


I thought to start with your rebus was Henrietta Potleg

Hi Pen,
You would get no disagreement from us but some shopping is necessary.  Some of June's presents for her birthday last week were in the form of IOUs which required her to participate in spending.  Also one of our grandsons has a birthday coming up soon.

Don't you have insecticides in Bletchley?

I have often thought we ought to have a competition for the most creative deliberately wrong answers.  I think your contribution qualifies.

I am staying with conflicts for my rebus but am taking the action to South America.
