Wow, what a ride that was. Exhausting, stimulating, nerve-wracking and bloody good fun!

I think the best part of the ‘thon for me was realising that the night was over and dawn was breaking. Rob and I were outside and it really did signal a turning point. The hardest part of trying to stay awake all night is staying awake whilst it’s still dark as your brain is saying “but no, we sleep in the dark. Don’t you remember? Silly human…” As soon as light appears in the sky you can carry on again, and work through past midday in our case

A massive thank you goes to all those of you who submitted questions for me to answer. It was hard work at times but I hope you guys had as much fun reading them as I did writing them. Special mention should go to Donna who kept appearing online at various times during the night to see how we were doing. Thank you chicken!

More thanks are needed for my fabulous moderator Pandora and her moderation team ‘The Yellow Darts’. These guys not only did the blogathon themselves but they also made sure htey had time to make sure we were behaving and following the rules. Pandora even offered up some questions which made me incredibly happy! So yes, thank you so much guys

*big raucous round of applause… with whistling!*

Finally the biggest thank you of all needs to go frykitty and the entire blogathon team. You guys did a fantastic job in putting up with all of us!

Don’t forget you can still pledge for at least another 24 hours. Please do as we want to reach a combined total of $100,000. We’re so close and it could be your pledge that pushes us even closer! You know you want to!

Right, me and my nutty brain are going to disappear for a while. I’ve been staring at this computer screen for far too long… everything’s starting to blur!

To the rest of the bloggers who have reached this point in time… Congratulations guys! We’ve done it!
Woo! now go sleep!

(Asked by Vicki)

It had to be asked and seeing as it’s the last question in my marathon of 48 questions and answers I feel it’s only fair that I should share with you this piece of information.

The Boobies of Mademoiselle Lemur currently measure in at a healthy 34E/EE (we’re not too certain on the cup size at the moment).

So there you have it, the last of my 48 questions. Now all that remains is for me to do a round-up style post at 2… don’t go away!

(Asked by ME!)

We have an hour left until Blogathon 2006 is over. It’s quite sad in a way but at the same time we have the preverbial light at the end of the tunnel. That’s right. Bed.

Bed.

Oh how good will that be?! The only minor problem I have is that when I finish it will be 2pm, not exactly the ideal time to be going back to bed. But what can you do? I can’t believe I’m actually still awake. I’ve been awake for far too long already as not only have I done these 24hours but i was up early yesterday (around 7am) so we’re looking at over 30hours of awake time. That’s rather a lot when you put it together!

But I don’t regret it, oh no! My brother has been by my side for the entire night and we’ve kept each other awake, wacthed films and played video games.

I think that is why I’m still awake. One more fabulous question to go… it’s so exciting!

Who can give the the one question I need to complete the set?! Everybody here is being a bit rubbish so it’s gonna have to be one of you guys again!

Just one last time, that’s all I ask.

(Asked by Utopia)

After some hasty research (I hadn’t got a clue what you were on about… perils of being English!) I think I can safely say that if I were to be any of the lance products it would be the ‘Choc-O Lunch’ just coz they look kinda fun and like my kind of biscuit!

As for having Lance in my Pants (to which I immediately thought knickers and wondered exactly what type of biscuit it was that this guy is promoting) I’m afraid not. I feel very deprived If anybody wants to send me some so that I can indeed have lance in my pants you’d make me the happiest Lemur ever!

(Asked by Pandora)

My Dearest Darling Moderator has hit me with another question and this one’s a keeper. The only problem is i don’t really know who I’d like to sit down and have a bit of a chat with. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve admired people and I still do, i just don’t know if I want to get up close and personal. I suppose, out of everybody, the one person I’d really enjoy talking to would be Gerald Durrell. He did so much work for endangered species (including lemurs!) and lived an incredible life. It woul djust be an honour to be around him and to have him share his experiences with me.

As it is I can go see the legacy that he left over here in Jersey, our wildlife conservation centre (the zoo!) which has now been re-branded as just Durrell. If you think that rings a bell then it should do as my brother dearest has been raising lots of lovely cash for them over the last 24hours.

So yes, Gerald and the lemurs… that’ll do me!

(Asked by Jeremy)

This is tough. Within the space of receiving this question I’ve heard it described as a cat, a type of monkey and being more like a bear. Well I don’t know where bear came from (we’ll just ignore that one shall we) but the truth is that lemurs are related to bothe monkies and cats.

Like cats they use tails for balance but they’re not prehensile like a monkey tail. There mannerisms are incredibly cat like but when in a social group it’s more like monkeies than anything else. They really are odd creatures.

To explain it to a 2 year old though I would have to say:

Not a cat, not a monkey, it’s a cat-monkey… with a very big tail. Look! Isn’t it fluffy! And don’t they have cute little faces that makes you want to eat them all up with a spoon?!…

Ok, Maybe I let my inner child come out too far there. But you get the general idea.

I hope.

I’m so close! I only actually need 2 more questions to finish off this marathon event. Come on… you can do it!

(Asked by Jeremy)

Fast food in general is a crime against food. But out of the two on offer I would have to say the the worse offender is Maccy D’s. The grease that comes out of their chips is just wrong! Plus lythe burgers taste funny, and the bread bun alwas has an odd texture to it. Everything tastes pretty much identical (which at the same time is tasteless so it’s kind of odd) and you walk out feeling as though you just had your tongue assaulted by a rabid squirrel on crack.

Burger King is only marginally better in that everything has that ‘flame grilled’ taste. The burgers aren’t quite as greasy and you can eat a chip without feeling your arteries closing up behind it. Even so, I despair when I see mothers taking young children in just for chips. If you’re going to give your child chips at least go to the chippy were you can see that they were actually part of a potato once. They have a much better flavour too.

Down with the American fast food chains, and up with the traditional English Fish & Chip shop I say! Hear hear!!!

This is it! I’ve gotten down to the final 6 posts. But you know what? I want some extra fabulous questions for these last couple of hours. At the moment I don’t have any so anything would be a bonus!

Come on guys, I know you’re all tired but I need your help. 6… that’s all I need!

Think people… think!!! … and then let me know!
