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 grin·

-1. "How long will I have to wait for a table?" asked Tom w------ r----------.
-2. "I'm learning to play a concert piano," said Tom g------.
-3. "I don't think I'll have the pickled fish today," said Tom u---------.
-4. "I hate shellfish," said Tom c-------.
-5. "I hope you're not afraid of needles," Tom i-------.
-6. "I will NOT shell out for a circuit-breaker," Tom r------.
-7. ."It's a kind of Chinese soup," said Tom w-------.
-8. "I'm the Court entertainer," Tom j-----.
-9. "I've forgotten the German word for 'four'," Tom said f---------.
-10. “You have the right to remain silent,” said Tom a----------.

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

manxman, CCb - good answers! thumbsup

Cheryl - that's an excellent answer, (which I may steal - keep an eye open for it in future "Tom's"), but one letter too long. My answer is almost a synonym of yours - what would Tom use instead of a circuit breaker? think
