Quick English survey

Just out of curiosity, which of these sentences do people feel are ill-formed or "ungrammatical", and which are acceptable?
  1. Is it yourself?
  2. You need your hair cutting.
  3. The beer here is lousy any more.
  4. I ain't seen him.
  5. I ran into Janet while enjoying herself.
  6. I like to read fantasy novels in the bathtub and experimenting in the kitchen.
  7. Lisa said she wants a BMW.
  8. Flounder flounder badger badger flounder.
  9. Paul is a British trumpeter but a French cellist.
There are no "right answers". I just want to know what people think.
