I see there were 93 people online at 7. 43pm! What did I miss seeing?

For those of you at a loose end this weekend, pop to sunny Bath and visit Carters Steam Fair in Royal Victoria Park. It really is a fantastic Fun Fair, plus the added attraction of the Old Penny Arcade, Not to be missed if you get the chance to visit. http://www.carterssteamfair.co.uk/p/carters-diar...

Ohh it`s lovely in the Arena! Great stuff on Oliver Whales.

Perhaps you could see why I can`t access the Arena? What is in there that you don`t want me to see?

I have spent quite some time looking for a patent, but so far no joy. What great pictures of the mechanism by PM. Am I right in thinking that the winner is not random but a pre determined sequence?
