Or thereabouts. Might have been 15, might have been 25. Barring disaster we were always going to get robs 6, and they knew it just as well as us. Good turn out on the bank to watch us as well,...

Wireless scales! Your weight beamed to your mobile! See here. Now we just need to work out what to call it. The wire is just the power cord to the scales, of course, not connecting the scales to the phone...

As an antidote to recent postings, I shall point out that wiki is also fun. There must be a site devoted to inspired wikipedia vandalism. But I don't know where it is. In the meantime, you can make do...
