Another mixture of new/recycled disemvowellings…

Remove one vowel from the first answer to give the second. Do not rearrange any of the remaining letters. If necessary, remove/add any hyphens or inverted commas as needed.

Eg. Organ/male deer (heart/hart).

-1. linger aimlessly / metric quantity
-2. assistants / helps
-3. weakness / storing of records etc
-4. disease of the nervous system / task
-5. greeting / part of house
-6. title of respect / attendant
-7. egg-shaped / poet
-8. lace embroidery / ancient northern Britain inhabitant
-9. airport, code ORD / run fast
-10. powerful businessman / unit of nuclear cross section (10 to the minus 24 square cm)

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Nice one, niteowl, but not mine smile

This is a term used to refer to a powerful mover/shaker in their field - for example, JR was an oil -------- (number of dashes doesn't mean anything.)

Or if it were a cryptic, "nobleman is childless, we're told" think

I love the idea of "barn" being used for something so incredibly tiny! lol
