Cryptic Quiz

Inspired by meeting some BSG-ers on Saturday, and the recent BBC Four documentary about cryptic crosswords, I have come up with clues to BSG forum "personalities". The person with the most correct answers wins a virtual bottle of their favourite beverage. In the event of a tie, you have to name the odd one out (and there is an odd one out). The clue compiler's decision is final.

Here goes:

1) Go ooze in reverse.

2) Porno Jeremy found after drink meeting.

3) Leave paying the gas to your relatives, perhaps.

4) This aged bee gets about a bit.

5) Sounds like I came, I saw, I conquered, but finished too early.

6) Denote where sun god is, back in the middle of Milton Keynes

7) Steal nothing!

8) Result of using blue cloth to wipe real fireplace, for example.

9) Starts off by ending with Calvin Klein.

10) Scrotum.

Off you go.....
