What is it with steam rallies or whatever they're called? And why are they nearly always on BH weekends? (Though obviously the one Spanner mentions isn't.) When I was away the weekend before last, I saw no fewer than 3 of the things advertised, all for BH weekend, but who goes to them and why? And what happens to the steam whatsits and enthusiasts for the rest of the year?

yay! no steam for me as boyf is doing overtime - hurrah! though he's still harping on about going back... a LOT
how come it feels like this week has gone on forever, especially as if it's been a 4 day week for lots of us?
hmmmm that's made me think..... why does time sometime fly and sometime drag, what makes us perceive it differently ????
