    Ah well - Just got back from Wembley Arena - Very long day. I was always going to choose black, But unfortunately, I didn't go through to the next stage, but it was very close.
    I did get to see a world record attempt and an interesting footballing game involving Robin Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas.
    I won't say what I lost on because I don't want to spoil it for any of you. (I was sat about 5 or 6 seats away from the guy with "RED OR BLACK" shaven on his head.
    All I can say is, it will be a fantastic show.
    It was a very wet day, and they kept loads of people hanging around outside in the rain today. (So Unnecessary). Some without brollies for over an hour and half. But the people who arrived for the afternoon show, were probably stood out there longer in the rain.
    And I learned 1 thing - never drive through Ealing Road on a Sunday afternoon ever again. Took me an hour to just get to the Hanger Lane junction. (Whats that all about?) I thought ALL shops were meant to close by 4pm.
    I did meet someone who may have gone through - I was sat with Christine from Bristol (Husband Dave) in the beginning. She chose Red and won. However, there was really nasty twist. The people who picked the winning colour, then went on to have to pick a winning fortune cookie. (OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN). Not really sure what that was all about, as we left due to the rain. I wish her luck.
    Not been in here for years. Life got hectic!

    Hi Eightof8 ,I put me,wifey ,daughter and son into this comp,but only the son got picked (lucky really as we all went of to the IOW on a sun holiday)
    The son went with his mate to London ,he picked the right player between Robin Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas,he also got soaked waiting out side in the rain (mummy wasn't home to find him an umbrella before he left :D )
    He then got through to the fortune cookie round and he picked the right person ,so he is now into the next round,which he says is in cardiff next weekend :T im sure he said there are something like 110 people in the next round :j so at least there is a MSE offspring still in the running :rotfl:

    I was on the Sunday afternoon. Travelled by public transport and took just over 90 mins from middle of Sussex. Trains and tubes were spot on (for a change)
    Queued in rain but with a brolly but finally got in.
    I was in the last game (basketball) and chose red for no particular reason... and lost ;-((
    I viewed it as an interesting experience.

    I will enter again next year if they do it again.
    This time next year we'll be millionaires, Rodney!

    Good luck to anyone else who gets through
