Was sent on a quiz the other week and have to say its pretty tricky. How many can you get?

1. Rice milk is the diet.
2. Blue spring gold.
3. A honey drink not in the orient.
4. It sounds terribly English.
5. The Irish race is very ordinary.
6. What the little boy cries to his mother.
7. An old frog can be found in this county.
8. A chartered accountant in a small truck.
9. Before the bladder shows the road.
10. The Scotsman gives silver to solo in Stsr Wars.

Obviously theres 32 riddles, I have figured the rest of them (Bottletop=Cork, 4 flat tyres= Carlow etc). Any idea what county belongs to each of the last 10?

EDIT: I've atrached a photo of the sheet with all 32 riddles.

I don't doubt that#10 is Monaghan, but why?
Is it a riddle or anagram?

Ah, of course. I don’t think I’d have got that and I’m from there

I only got Kerry because I knew I hadn’t used it and had one left.
