Happy Friday, folks! :) Here are another ten pictures, each describing an English phrase using graphics from various Speccy games/loading screens. Can you tell what they are?

Doing things a little differently for this one. There'll be a bonus round a bit later in the day, probably around 14:00, just to mix things
up a bit. Good luck, Spec-chums! :)

Rules for this quiz: Only one answer per post. No consecutive posts from the same user. Rules will be abandoned once the bonus round begins. Correct answers during the first round are worth 2 points each, correct answers to bonus round questions are worth 1 point each, any answers after clues are given are worth half a point.

They're pictures made up of graphics from games. Where would you prefer me to post them in future?

So what? Paper being made from trees doesn't make books a subject of botany.
