Wow! I had a feeling it would be too simple! Hand me the envelope, please. And the award goes to: @Charlemagne1333 !

 

I maintain that this was first published 48 years ago

 

^^^^^
And I maintain that must be one of this thread’s speediest solves!

Well played.

 

Thanks
I have a copy but have never got around to reading- must do so!

 

Dang that was quick.
Was actually doing some today.
Fitting a battery tender so I can charge my battery after I come home from a ride and forget to turn the ignition off.

 

One for your consideration

 

This one?

 

sooo close!!!

 

Couldn’t be much closer
It is actually this one

 

Such a good read, difficult though it is to determine quite how honest the author is… normally get an image of the narrator, in this instance, Alby Mangels kept coming to mind

 

The = THE
Witch = HAG
Ear = IA
Sophia Loren = SOPHIA
Snake = hiss = IS
Hide tanning = TAN
Toro = BUL

Ergo, the Hagia Sophia (mosque/museum) in Istanbul (Turkey).

 

Um, ahh! The solution seems to be clear to everybody but me!

 

Excellent solve, @Canuck

Well played!

 

Are you suggesting that those of us who participate in the rebus thread are
Bored dickheads?

 

?

There might be one participant in the rebus forum who fits that description!

 

I think the answer may be more political than that, eh @Canuck ?

Although, with all fairness to @Matty01 , bored dickheads is a good description of what’s left of the Cabinet…
