And so the end is near: answers
May 30, 2011 in Gilligan's, Quizzes
Good morning all. I know I said at the end of my most recent post that the answers would arrive “tomorrow morning” but, sometimes, life gets in the way of blogging.
You see, the reason I knew on Thursday last that I would have to post up the answers on Friday morning or else they wouldn’t be up for days is that my brother got married last Friday afternoon. We had a great time, thanks for asking. However, the day ended up being so busy that I simply didn’t have time to get to a computer.
Mind you, I did manage to squeeze in my weekly show on Claremorris Community Radio so the Friday Five Trivia are present and correct. Albeit, they were posted on a Monday!
