Similar entries to Geoff, other than a couple of conundrum letters.

1. ATTEND
2. MURIATE
3. 438 = (75-2)*(8-100/50)
4. REGRETS
5. SOPRANI
6. 428 = (75-5)*6 + 8
7. BOILERS. I thought there was more, but it was just Brusilov.
8. 648 = (100-25+4+2)*(5+3)
9. BATHHOUSE - 1.7s

Nice work on the conundrum, Sam, but you've manufactured a second R in round four.

Hmm, how embarrassing...
