That was fun! Here are my guesses:

1. Just do it 2. Think global; act local 3. The best a man can get 4. Every little helps 5. Refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach 6. It could be you 7. A Mars a day helps you work rest and play 8. No Financial Times, no comment 9. Let your fingers do the walking 10. The Future is Orange

Glad you found it a fun exercise, Lucy - we are clearly kindred spirits!
