Voting for what seem to be least likely (for which the authors should thank me!):

 

4  An expression used in Scotland for a wedding conducted by a magistrate, not a clergyman (Like a Gretna Green Wedding) 

and

6  A 1940's trend among men to imitate characters played by Humphrey Bogart, i.e., tough, reckless and anchored by a hidden moral code

3 and 6, please.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

[France International/Mike Shefler]

I'll go with 9 and 10.

[Efrem Mallach]

John,

Do you mean the deadline to be 2100 GMT, or 2100 your time - which I assume is BST, one hour earlier than GMT?

Thanks for clarifying, as I may not have time to consider these until close to whatever the deadline actually is -

Efrem

4 and 5. Baffling!

~Bending under the weight of His mercies~

 The words of Zechariah the Prophet, “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on Me, the One they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son."

[John Barrs]

2100 BST (Timing Error is my fault - and indicative of my mental confusion)

3 & 9 for me, with kudos to #6.

[Efrem Mallach]

None of them seem believable, though a few gave me ideas that might have led me to provide a more believable fake than I did. Since the traditional hours for office workers when I was growing up were 9 to 5, I'll vote for those two.

5              (slang) Truckers' expression for an overweight vehicle

[Daniel B Widdis]

I believe 3 more than any of the other options.

 

I believe 8 less than any of the other options but it sounds delicious.

 

[Paul Keating]

I vote for 3 & 9.

[Fein, Deborah]

4 and 6 please.

Not that I think either are correct, but 4 helped me understand events in Jane Austen and I thought 6 was a brilliant description of Bogart's characters.
