Did anybody need more than 60?

Hi Jack

I definitely need more than 60!  That's probably minutes and not seconds.  I've even searched Ms Google for songs with sunburn in the title and am totally bamboozled   I didn't fare much better with your second rebus either 

My rebus is a song from the 1990's by a rather unusual American singer/songwriter.

#4 9 (#4 + #5) #3 5 (#2 + #3)


Please change the first letter of the first picture and lose the last half of picture four.  You're not looking for the film in picture two but the genre and then a homophone. Please lose the first four letters of picture three and pretend it's all on one line.

           

I've always been nervous about posting Monopoly puns...
but today I thought I'd take a chance!

I'll put a new battery in my crystal ball...

Hi Pen,

Another Australian artist who died last month was a singer who was long regarded as one of the finest exponents of jazz, soul and R&B idioms.  She described herself as "a white Hungarian Jew from Australia sounding like a 65-year-old black man from Alabama".  This is a song from one of her 1970’s albums.

#4   #2  1 #2  2  1  6(#3 #3)  #7

   
   



Conceptually two lines: Pictures 1-3 on line 1, Pictures 4-6 on line 2.
Homophones abound.  The personal pronoun, indefinite article, and question mark not pictured.
Pictures on line 1 have their final 2 letters discarded.

Blue has been temping as a shop assistant.  He fought of an armed robber with his labelling gun.  Police are now looking for a man with a price on his head.

The fact that some people can’t distinguish between etymology and entomology bugs me in ways I can’t put into words.

Hi Jack.
Great post all round. Good rebus, funny jokes and some philosophical stuff!
Nothing else to do on the weekend before lunch?

Nothing else to do on the weekend before lunch?

Hi Moyra,

Thanks. I had plenty to do.  My lawns are getting out of control and other tasks need doing but I squibbed it and stayed in the air-conditioning.  I did manage a half an hour in my pool before heading to Cleveland for a superb lunch by another pool.  I only managed to get a knee into the photo. . I was the designated driver so I had to limit my intake to one glass of rosé.   I can’t wait to see what Pen will say when she sees this.

I haven't had any claims of less than a minute for the last two rebuses   .  I have to admit to taking half an hour over Pen's rebus this morning.

Stay Cool.

Hi Jack

Firstly, I totally agree with Moyra - a cracking post which has everything 

Secondly that's a smashing picture - I'm very jealous    Rather chilly here today - if I had a pool I could probably think about skating on it 


And thirdly, half an hour on my rebus???  I spent about three and a half weeks trying to sort your last three out    


Well I'm going to

Please reverse picture one.  How do I refer to picture three?  Please lose the first letter and a homophone and also lose the first letter of picture four.  Oh and all on one line!

             

Did you hear about the man who invented the knock-knock joke?
He won a no-bell prize!

Two men broke into a chemist and stole all the Viagra..
The police put out an alert to be on the lookout for the two hardened criminals!

I'm going to try and finish my chores before lunch

[Ozzyjack]

Well I'm going to do something.

Hi Pen,

That would be a very British thing to do. 

A couple of examples.

In 1982, Captain Moody aboard British Airways Flight 9 from London to Auckland, on realising that all engines of the aircraft have stopped because of volcanic ash, announced to the passengers, "We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.”

In 1912, during the Terra Nova Expedition, Captain Lawrence Oates, aware that his own ill health was compromising his three companions' chances of survival, calmly leaving the tent and choosing certain death saying, "I am just going outside and may be some time."

So I have the greatest admiration for what you are about to do although the reason for doing it is just a tad short  of those quoted.

A great rebus, Pen.

Goodnight.

I'm Back Jack

You are quite right of course

I wonder what's happened to Linda.  Do you think she's still trying to finish the jigsaw so she can locate Tuvalu?   

I'm off to search for a few words.

[Linda]

I wonder what's happened to Linda.  Do you think she's still trying to finish the jigsaw so she can locate Tuvalu?   

You must be psychic, Pen!  Finished the rabbit scarves and am back on the puzzle.  Have done a great chunk of Europe, Africa and South America but there's still an awful lot of green nothingness to do in Canada, beige wilderness in Russia and of course oceans of ocean to fill in!  Will persevere. 

Egg and tomato and you know what for lunch!! 

[Hobbit]

I'm impressed you're still at it Linda - you've got more patience than me   
You've heard of Mystic Meg - well I'm psychic Pen 

I've got ham & coleslaw sarnies today.  Perishing cold here today - could do with some soup to warm me up!

[Linda]

I'm impressed you're still at it Linda - you've got more patience than me 

That's the first time I've ever been commended for my patience Pen!  I only do the puzzle in dribs and drabs but was thrilled to find Cape Verde yesterday so was inspired to push on for a while.  Tuvalu still not located!

I've never been commended for mine Linda    Have a friend who has had several holidays in Cape Verde - beautiful apparently.  Something as huge as that you'd have to do it in fits and starts.  You don't want back ache again

Hi Jack

Bracing myself for a busy afternoon on fracture clinic.  Not sure I'll get to the end of this but I wont know unless I try!

My rebus is a funny expression I use now and again.

#2 #5 #6 1 #3 3 7 (#3 + #4) 8 (#4 + #4)

A&
Please lose the first letter of picture three and reverse the character in picture four. Please ignore the books in eight and then lose the second letter of what's left.  One homophone and all on one line.  Hope you can pick the bones out of that

             

Two men in a bar. One says "A girl I met in London gave me a sexually transmitted disease".
His mate replies "you were lucky, in Yorkshire you would have had to pay for it!"

"So, have you heard about the oyster who went to a disco and pulled a mussel?"

"Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosy... Doesn't try it on."

My parents used to take me to the pet shop and tell me it was the zoo!

Leave you with a few jokes from Billy Connolly

My rebus is a funny expression I use now and again.

Hi Pen,

A very sensible expression in a well-constructed rebus. 

I was surprised, when I went looking for a response, how many of our idioms were used by Shakespeare.  Mine today is one.

#2  #4   #5  #2  3 2  #5  3  #4

Conceptually one line but position is essential.  The positioning preposition is two words.  The Conjunction is not pictured.

Time to beat: 3 minutes,

   
   

Picture 1.  A structure.
Picture 2.  Look Familiar?  This time it is an abstract feeling.
Picture 3.  Lose the last letter.
Picture 4.  Remove the Second letter.  Remember this is Shakespeare speaking.  Today, we would have used a 3-letter word.
Picture 5.  Past tense
Picture 6.  Well, you have brushed up your Shakespeare, now it is time to brush up your French


I know it was nearly a week ago, but yesterday the 7-by-many made me feel like it was groundhog day.
