"This British beer is rubbish", said Tom b-------. -4. "I've been having an incontinence problem," Tom g-----. -5. "That blues player Bo - I'm going to cut him down to size", said Tom s-------. -6. "Remind me of my lines", said Tom p-------. -7. "I don't think this central heating is all that brilliant", said Tom l---------. -8. "Acting is great, but I want to move on to other things," Tom said d-------. -9. "Pass me the lozenges, Mister Ed," said Tom h-------. -10. "I guess you're free from that spell", said Tom d-------------.
