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 · -1. "Ouch! When I get stung, I want revenge," said Tom b----------- -2. "Let's take a vacation in the south of France," said Tom n----- -3. "I don't know any shanties," said Tom u---------- -4. "Get the stick, Rover!" Tom called f--------- -5. "A million thanks, Monsieur," said Tom m--------- -6. "I've been feeding the crocodile," said Tom o---------- -7. "No, I don't know the name of the sun god," Tom a--------- -8. "I didn't do well in the test," Tom said d--------- -9. "Dat's de end of April," said Tom in d---- -10. "Don't let me drown in Paris!" pleaded Tom i------- -11. "3.142" said Tom p------ -12. "I've been disenfranchised," said Tom d-------- Hints for the last one:
- "shanty" does not refer to a hut - look up a nautical definition - what do you do with shanties? - and where would it be done? - and the second letter in "n"
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?
