I found Pen’s rebus to be one of the cleverest and most cryptic that we have had.


Hi Jack

Greetings from a very wet & windy Milton Keynes.  It wasn't too much of a hardship coming to work when the weather's so grotty.  I'm a bit flummoxed by changing the clocks :laugh:  I spend about a week trying to work out what time it would have been if we hadn't put the clocks back.  An entirely pointless exercise but I do it twice a year :-R

Thank you for your kind comments about my last rebus :)  I was a bit stumped for an idea & was a bit worried it wouldn't work.  Like you I would be interested in feedback about our rebuses.

My rebus today is a song which I thought might be appropriate!  It's been covered many times by different artists

#5 #5 #2 #7


First word is an adjective. Please remove the first letter of picture three.

         

Half an hour til lunch ;)  Cheese & pickle sarnie today - I know how to live life on the edge :laugh:

Hope it tickles you too!

Hi Jack



Just trying to raise a little enthusiasm & gearing up for a busy morning.

A quick puzzle from me.  It's an album from the 1970's which was quite groundbreaking at the time.

Please change the first letter of the first picture.  The second picture is a homophone - past tense.  Please lose the last letter of the third picture & you're looking for the surname of the character!!

Phew need a lie down now :laugh:

Hi Jack

I'm pleased to say I've done much better with today's rebus than yesterday's.  I thought the lady in the last picture was doing yoga :-R
Wrong on so many levels!!


I guess you could say that Jack had a ball with that one...  ;)

Hi Pen,

Blue fell in love with sheila because she made the best coffee ever.  He didn’t want to lose her so he asked her to marry him. Shortly after they were married, she started serving him instant coffee. He was so upset that he decided to divorce her.
When the judge heard his case, he said “you can’t divorce her for serving you instant coffee !”
Why not?” Blue asked
No grounds!” Came the reply.


     


I was just about to start a rebus when I had a thought (yes, once in a blue moon, it still happens :D). 

Not one forumite responded to the request for feedback.  One conclusion could be that the rebuses have had their day and that people have lost interest in them but are too polite to say so?  So I am going to give the rebuses a rest for a while. 

Pen and I will give some thought to whether there are other features that could be included in posts to make them more interesting and which could be easier for forumites to contribute to if they wished to.  Suggestions would be welcomed.e.g. Grandma's favorite recipe, a book review,
Regards, Jack

I really like your rebuses, Jack and Pen, but I'm not great at remembering the names of movies and albums. I'm better at book titles, historical events and well-known expressions.

Hi Jack and Penny.
Well that's one way to get a response from this procrastinator! Please don't stop posting your rebuses...unless it's because you have had enough of doing them! I enjoy the puzzles and appreciate the efforts you put into them, but of course it's up to the 2 of you whether they continue or not.

Hi good friends,

Your encouraging feedback has given me the motivation to attack the rebuses with renewed vigor.  But not tonight.  I need another 4-5 hours sleep.

It would be good if we could get some more conversations going.. I really enjoyed Pen’s banter about her lunchtime culinary delights with several forumites.

I do see this thread as a community of good friends which always welcomes new friends.

Hi Jack

I was very chuffed to read the positive feedback :)  I'm happy to continue posting rebuses.  I can't promise one every day or how much vigor will be involved >:D

Please lose the first letter of the second picture & re-arrange the letters in picture three. You can substitute the first picture with either of these.

I rather suspect that this expression is extinct :laugh:  I found it on the Word Histories website.

I must admit I have been negligent in reporting on the lunchtime culinary delights of late but fear not I am here to report that today is a mushroom soup and sourdough toast day.  Not vastly exciting but I am saving myself for my roast chicken dinner tonight! I bet Pen is having some sort of exotic sandwich - corned beef perhaps?  I know she likes to live on the culinary edge!!  >:D
