Good show Bren. That's the spirit.

audrey said...

I didn't get that because we say 'Rest Room' or 'Powder Room' in Lucan...Loo is so common...lol

Unknown said...

That was a great post Brendan. I'm surprised to see that Mam didn't join in. She is so good at these puzzles. Dad would have solved this in a jiffy.
Next year I am going to turn my birthday into a puzzle to get a little more attention.
'Attention must be paid'. Anyone know what this is from without google?

Brian said...

Death of a Salesman...easy peasy.

Unknown said...

Our Brian. So smart!

Being a bit of a tick, I was never very good with puzzles, so I did not even try. I spoke to Terry yesterday, the self proclaimed "non Tick" and he is having a ball with this. He is not looking at the posting again until he has them all figured out. This post is great fun to watch and read, not to mention the great participation. Well done Brenno.
