That's a bit tricky & very clever Jack!  I've got a solution but have no idea if it's in any way right.  I'll await your spoiler with interest :)

The Ryder Cup's looking grim - think we've had it :'(

Still your post made me chuckle & cheered me up :laugh:

Just went to put the kettle on & it suddenly fell into place!  I was almost there but not quite.  That's brilliant - I love it :)
Feeling happy & smug now :angel:

Hi Pen,

Sheila was lying in bed one night. Blue was falling asleep but Sheila was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk.

She said: "You used to hold my hand when we were courting."

Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep.

A few moments later she said: "Then you used to kiss me... "

Mildly irritated, Blue reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep.

Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my neck..."

Angrily, Blue threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.

"Where are you going?" Sheila asked.

"To get my teeth..."


   


Nobody complained, so here is another double.

What phrase is represented by this rebus ?



#5  #2   #3   #2   7(#5  #2)

 
 

Pictures 3,4 and 6.  ditch the first letter.
Picture 5. His title.
Conceptually one line.

Hi Jack

I'm having a bit of a manic Monday.  I read Blue earlier on & burst out laughing - hilarious :laugh:

Moyra is absolutely right - your new style of puzzles are very clever :)

I'm posting in between patients so I'm just going to do a quick rebus which I was optimistically thinking yesterday when checking on the golf!
#2 #4 #4 #3 #3 #3 #4 #5

ITTHE
Please lose the first letter of the first 2 pictures.

      

I just had an awful thought that I may have used that rebus before :-R  Sorry if I have but I don't have time to start again!!

G'day Jack

It's a busy morning so far so I'm probably going to be stopping & starting with my post!

My rebus is something I studied at school when Adam was a lad ;D

#3 10 (#6 + #4) #5

I didn't want to make it too easy so I've been a bit sneaky with my last picture >:D  You need the nickname.

         

I shall be very glad when it's lunchtime ;D

As always Pen, we are spookily similar except I studied this more recently and even translated it.  If I say more I'll give the game away and heaven forbid that I get on the wrong side of the Spoiler Police!!  >:D

Crikey Linda I'm very impressed :)
Did you do it for pleasure for something to do? I remember it being quite tricky - but that was 100's of years ago :laugh:

I like a Quiche Jack  >:D

That was a very sneaky puzzle - I loved it :)  It very nearly caused my little grey cell to spontaneously combust :laugh:

Hi Pen,
Hope you have a full tank of petrol.

Blue tried his hand at being a mortician.  Morticians are hard workers. Every job is a huge undertaking.

His favourite TV show is a new series about a gang of Chinese zombie chefs. It's called "The Wok-ing Dead."

Blue’s jokes are so deep that no one gets the punchlines.  Now he’s in witless protection



Anyone familiar with mathematics will find this easy.  I won’t bother picturing it but for those unfamiliar with Maths I will put the answer in the next spoiler alert.



A well-known proverb.  I can’t think of a way of picturing it without making it too easy.  I will give you a word count.

#5  #5  #3  1 #6   #6

Ag   Ag   Ag   Ag
Ag    Altus    Ag
Ag   Ag   Ag   Ag

Ag   Ag   Ag   Ag
Ag   Cumulus   Ag
Ag   Ag   Ag   Ag

Ag   Ag   Ag   Ag
Ag   Cirrus    Ag
Ag   Ag   Ag   Ag



The dog club has put a notice on Facebook saying training is still on but the radar shows that rain is on its way.  I think I am going to squib it.  I will have to make a decision in the next half hour.

Hi Jack

Thankfully I've got about three quarters of a tank of petrol & my little Aygo is quite economical so I should be ok for the moment.  It's a bit like the loo rolls last year - everybody panic buying has caused a massive shortage.  The press & media love to stir it up >:(

I have to be honest & admit that my mathematical skills are sadly lacking :(  Your puzzle's all Greek to me :laugh:  I'll go back to it a bit later.

Talking of things Greek I'm going to have a bash at a Greek play for my rebus.

10 (#4 + #1 + #3 + #2) #5


Please lose the first letter of picture four.  Ignore the tree in the last picture & change the first letter please.

         

A businessman boarded a plane to find, sitting next to him, an elegant woman wearing the largest, most stunning diamond ring he had ever seen. He asked her about it.
"This is the Klopman diamond," she said. "It is beautiful, but there is a terrible curse that goes with it."
"What's the curse?" the man asked.
"Mr. Klopman."

A mini-bus carrying several nuns is stopped at a traffic light in Dublin. 
All of a sudden a car full of rowdy drunks pulls up along side them. The men all start shouting & hollering "Come on give us a flash -  show us your legs you bloody penguins..."
Quite shocked Mother Superior turns to Sister Mary & says "I don't think they know who we are.  Show them your Cross"
Sister Mary winds down the window & yells at the top of her voice "Bugger off you bunch of eejits before I come over there and rip your tackle off!"
Sister Mary then winds her window back up & looks innocently at Mother Superior & asks...
"Was that cross enough?"



Actually it's nearly lunchtime & there's a cheese & ham sarnie with my name on it :-H
