More Tom Swifties.(For example "I'll have a martini," said Tom, drily.) As ever, grovelling apologies for any re-runs Some of these are very clever and quite tough, so being all heart, I've given you first letter and length as a starter  · As ever, an asterisk represents a "real" hyphen. One answer each for first 24 hours, please. -1. "You've spilt that Caribbean liquour down the front of your dress", said Tom r------------. -2. "It's a biography of Twain," Tom stated m-------. -3. "I hate climbing this winding staircase", said Mrs Swifty c----. -4. "I really must chill out before the play" said Tom m---------------. -5. "I'll have to dig another ditch around that castle," Tom sighed, r-------. -6. "1, 4, 9, 16, 25,..." said Tom, s--------. -7. "That'll finally get rid of that figure skater," said Tom, u----------. -8. “Tough - you've lost this Maxis game ten times in a row on the easiest setting,” said Tom, s--------------. -9. "Cancel my order - the guy who was installing the worktops in my kitchen had a cardiac arrest,” Tom c------------. -10. "Numbers change back and forth from positive to negative when multiplied repeatedly by -1", said Tom, r---------.
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

forced out when hit on the knee on purpose?
Or did I miss something...
