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·

As ever, an asterisk represents a "real" hyphen.

One answer each for first 24 hours, please.

To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

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

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

Very close, oldbroad. Tom seemed to be a bit short-tempered and impolite. In other words, a bit ---- think

Hope thet helps - try again?

Wasn't sure if I should go with the "regretted" or the "so what".

"Rued-ly" - in a rueful manner. The "so what" was a hint to the "rude" bit - a lot of these are very groan-making

Good call, OB - going to be difficult for the ladies to lose now! grin

(Stomps off muttering under his breath)
