More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

Hi Pen,

Don’t you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.

That was a brilliant rebus.   While researching whether it had a meaning, I came across a song from around the turn of the century that tickled me.

Conceptually one line.

#2 8(#3  #5) #5 #3, #4  #5 #5 #2 #2 7(#3  #4)

   
   
   
   

Picture 1.  You need the middle two letters of this 4-letter geographical feature.
Picture 4.  You have a 50% chance of choosing the right one.
Picture 6.  The first 4 letters ditching the last 3. 
Picture 8.  The one you didn’t use in picture 4.
Picture 9.  You need the middle two letters of this 4-letter Mountain goat.
Picture 10. You need the middle two letters of this 4-letter vehicle.

I’ll try to do a chatty post later today.

Hi again, Pen

You might have noticed that although Bonnie features often in my posts, I haven’t mentioned Dusty for quite some time.

Dusty was always reactive to strange dogs and young children but with careful management and avoiding confronting situations, he was a happy dog.  With us, he was a loving and affectionate dog.   However, when his family moved to Cleveland he seemed to become more reactive and one occasion resorted to self-harm overnight.  A dog psychologist recommended to his family that he be put down immediately which was totally out of the question as far as they, and we, were concerned.

As a short-term solution, he was boarded out at the country property where he was born, and he was a totally different dog there.  He got on well with all the other dogs and was well behaved and happy.  After much soul searching, it was decided he should be rehomed permanently.  He has been placed with a retired couple, who are connected to the Taaffeite group, on a small country property which has a variety of animals and regular visits from other Taaffeite dogs.  He is also continuing his training in competition Frisby, which he enjoys.  All reports are that he has bonded well and is enjoying life.  So while there is a residual sadness that things didn’t work out, I think it is the best result for all concerned.

The boys have been very keen to have another dog and so the Cleveland mob are getting a 9-week-old puppy next week. Introductions with Bonnie will need some careful handling.

You may have noticed that while you are freezing, we are getting bombarded with heat wave warnings.  These are good days to stay in the air-conditioning and catch up with reading and TV watching.  I am getting soft in my old age.

What did the left eye say to the right eye?   Between us something smells.

I’ll leave you with a bit of Déjà vu.

Hi Jack

I had a problem getting on the forum this afternoon - no idea why - so I'm rather late on parade!  Just a flying visit!

Your rebus was also brilliant and it tickled me too

I was very sad to read about Dusty.  What a crying shame.  It's upsetting for the Cleveland Mob but at least he's settled in a new home.  We'll look forward to some pictures of the new puppy 

See you tomorrow (later!)

Hi Pen,

We’ve just got an invitation to dinner at Cleveland and so I’ll just slip a quick rebus into this post and then I’ll have a quick poppy nap to be sparkling at dinner.


 


The answer to the rebus is a well known literary work.

#3  9(#5  #4)  #5

Conceptually One line.  2 homophones.

 

Picture 1.  The middle 3 letters of a 7-letter word.
Picture 3.  Just one.

Hi Pen and other dog lovers.

Had a great meal at Cleveland tonight and got preview of their new pup.

This is Ruby, an 8-week-old Labradoodle heading to Cleveland next Friday.

Hi Jack

Ruby's gorgeous - she's as cute as a button    I'll look forward to seeing many more pictures of her 

I very much enjoyed your post and rebus - that took me back to my English Literature O'Level about a zillion years ago

I've got an idea for a rebus and I'm hoping I haven't used it before.  Fingers crossed!  It's an expression I'm fond of.

Please lose the last letter of the first picture. Position is vitally important.  Apologies if I'm repeating myself.

One of my cousins was a radiographer and met her husband when he came in for an X-ray...
I always wondered what she saw in him.

Hi Pen,

You can uncross your fingers.  I used a similar expression back in February of last year but with an entirely different presentation which was not as clever as yours.

Before I get back to sawing logs, a bit of deja vu from that time

I have a strong suspicion Blue must be a Genie.   Every time I open a bottle he appears.

Blue took Sheila to a fancy restaurant last night.
Waiter: “ How do you like your steak, sir?”
Blue: “like winning an argument with my wife.”
Waiter: “Understood, sir, I’ll tell the chef to make it very rare.”

Thanks Jack 

Blue really tickled me - I don't remember them at all.  More please 

Off to search for some words and contemplate work tomorrow.

Hope June doesn't have one of these

Ruby , here’s looking at you kid!

You’re bringing smiles as wide as the world. And I’m sure Dusty is relieved to have you fill his , er, shoes while he prances off with his new people.

Many happy frolics, delicious smells, belly rubs and specialty treats

Hope to see your pictures here often!

“Cute as a button” hit the nail on the head, I reckon.

Sad to hear about Dusty - but so glad he’s been happily rehomed. Phew!

Hi Jack

I'm gearing up for a busy morning on fracture clinic.  I'm going to start the post and see how far I get!  Hopefully I'll be done by lunchtime.

When you've finished reading Donna Leon I thought perhaps you might enjoy a little Barbara Cartland

Please remove a letter from picture two and pretend it's all on one line.  One homophone.

A vertically challenged psychic was arrested one day.
He escaped from jail and the newspaper headline read, "SMALL MEDIUM AT-LARGE."

          

I know the last one's a repeat but put it down as a deja vu 

Nearly lunchtime hurrah

Hi again Pen,

The answer to my rebus is a site in England that we visited on our last day over there in 2010.  One of the problems of presenting it is that if you have visited it or know about it, once you get one word you will probably instantly guess the rest. On the other hand, to make all the word parts or homophones cryptic enough, I found that I had not come across that meaning of the words in the context that I wanted to picture them.  The compromise I have made, to make it fair for people as limited as me, is to provide a synonym of word that is needed.

Conceptually one line.

9( #6  #3) #5  #5




Picture 1.  Synonym of sniffing and then remove one letter.
Picture 2.  Large cask usually 252 wine gallons.   Make Homophone.
Picture 3. Synonym of wraith.  Make homophone.
Picture 4.  Replace the 2 adjacent vowels with a different vowel.

You again for the Deja vu cartoon, Pen

Hi Jack

A slightly calmer day today - long may it continue!  I was very smug as I thought I'd got your clever rebus quite quickly and then realised I'd jumped the gun and got the wrong one   Back to the drawing board and sorted it out at the second time of asking.

My rebus is a film from twenty odd years ago.  It shouldn't give you a problem.

9 (#6 + #3) #5 #6 6 (#4 + #2)


Please lose the last letter of picture one and then change the first letter and add last three letters of second picture.  You need think a bit laterally with picture four and please use last two letters of any one of the gents in the last picture.
sorry forgot to say please pretend it's all on one line.

               

Leave you with a random assortment

Hi Jack

It's my last day at work until a week on Monday 

My easy little rebus is a song I just heard one of my colleagues whistling a few minutes ago!

Please lose first two letters and last letter of musical instrument & please use the first name of the actor playing Daphne in the fourth picture. One homophone and please pretend it's all on one like.

             

That's all from me.  Getting busy and nearly lunchtime
