Game and pastimes

[smouse]

Well this guys quizzes always make me groan but this time I am stumped on a lot of them

I have ideas for some but they are so bad I would like someone to agree

They can be cryptic or anagrams (havent found any anagrams yet)

Ride in politician's exhaust

Miss a whisky

Compression

A poor money maker carry on

The French start it with a cochon

Hit before it grounds

Miss school for a day

One of a bag of potato hoops

I have more ..... watch this space

2. Hopscotch

8. Hula

Compression = Squash

3. Squash

I thought squash but shouldnt that be compressing or am I being petty

I have since done petanque for the cochon one and volley ball for hit before it grounds

Ride in politician's exhaust -maybe something to do with HOT AIR balloon?
