More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

[Hobbit]

A 1969 stage play which became a fairly successful 1975 film.

I went off on a bit of a wild goose chase with your clever rebus Mike.  I thought the second picture was a vent so I wandered off into the realms of nuns
Got there in the end at the third time of asking

[Hobbit]

I only use Blue in stories where he exhibits those characteristics and that is possibly the reason you have a good picture of him in your mind.

The lockdown is not terribly onerous for us.

Hi Jack

I'm having an enjoyable & fairly relaxing day off.  Been out for a bite to eat with an old friend & popping out again a little later.  Thought I'd do a quick post in between times.

You've summed up Blue perfectly how I imagine him to be

I'm glad the lockdown isn't presenting you with too much of a problem

The local " bottleo " is still open so i'm all good.

I presume Les means the pub's still open for business

I enjoyed your rebus

My rebus is a 1980's film which was adapted from a book published quite a few years earlier.
#3 7 (#4 + #3) 6 (#2 + #4) #5 5 (#1 + #4)

THET
In the first picture you're not interested in the footballers or the game.  Please change the first letter of the fourth picture.  Surname of the actress in the last picture.  Please pronounce it how it's spelt!
I expect that's as clear as mud

Not really a piece of weather lore, my offering today is the first two lines of a popular kids' nursery rhyme.
What it says is true in most of UK; I don't really know how it applies in the southern hemisphere

ten words - 3/5/4/4/4/3/2/5/4/4

picture 8 - change the 'e' to an 'a'
picture 9 - drop the first letter

[Ozzyjack]

What it says is true in most of UK; I don't really know how it applies in the southern hemisphere

I don't know either, but I can guarantee with absolute surety that it doesn't apply to Redlands and almost everywhere in Queensland where it is usually hotter than a shearer's armpit.

Perhaps in Tasmania you change the compass point

No Pen, the pubs & clubs are all closed but the take away liquor stores are open & doing a roaring trade.

This is the hilarious post from Pat that i was encouraging you to look for the other day ;

Hi Pen,

We brought our second COVID jabs forward by a fortnight and had them this morning.  We now have our digital certificates if they become useful for anything.

Blue was a bit sad today.  He just learnt that his favourite office supply company will not be making yardsticks any longer.

   

I was idly thinking about how great a series MASH was when I had a sudden inspiration for a rebus – a book published in the early part of the nineteenth Century set about 70 years before.  The story has been adapted numerous times and in many languages for films, TV movies, and cartoons.

The definite article is not pictured. Conceptually one line.

3   #4   #2   3  8(#2  #2  #4)

     

Picture 1.  Position of the blue

Bonus Question: What did MASH and the subject of the rebus have in common.


and I'll leave you with this question

[Ozzyjack]

i just noticed picture 1 in my rebus does not come up on the ipad.  use this one instead

Hi Jack

That's so funny - poor Blue!

I managed to solve both rebuses today so I'm feeling quite smug You're right Mash was a brilliant series.  They don't make 'em like that any more.  I think I have your common denominator but I'll wait for your spoiler

I've had a very busy morning in the main department so I've come to the fracture clinic for, hopefully, a more peaceful afternoon. 

My rebus is a film released 2014.
8 (#5 + #3) #3 #6 #7

THE
Please change the first letter of picture 3.  You want the "first name" of the character in picture 4.
For a bonus point can you spot the connection with this gent


         

Just over an hour & I can go home for a cuppa   Can't wait!

Thanks for printing the full version of my nursery rhyme, Jack. I had completely forgotten the later verses.
Easy one today
A ground-breaking album from 1971.
Name of both album and artist.

Loved the picture of the four beetles crossing Abbey Road.
Brilliant!

Worth repeating in case anyone missed or overlooked it.

Hi Pen,

I guess you will be sleeping in this morning building up your strength for your visit to Trent Bridge tomorrow.

That was a devilish rebus, Pen.  I wish I knew how many people cracked it.  Any volunteers?

Last week before the lockdown, Blue watched the Lion King with some of his grandkids. They pointed out to him all the moments in the movie that had a greater meaning because of what they represented. It was the first time he became aware of all the Simbalism.

When they got home he told the kids “The cows are asleep, it's time you went to bed". They replied "What's that got to do with anything”?   Blue said, “It's pasture bedtime, that's why”.

Recently, Blue went to see a topless ventriloquist. She was amazing, he never saw her lips moving even once.

   

My easy rebus today is a 1970s Booker Prize-nominated Australian novel by a well known Australian author, and a 1970s Australian film of the same name.

“the” and “of” are not pictured

3   5(#2  #3)  2  #5   #10
