My nans got this old game (well I think its old) that what you do is you have like 4 arms coming out of this funnel and each player has a different colour ball and holds it on the arm, then there is a big ball that is spun around the funnel and the aim of the game is to release your ball on the arm at the last possible moment before the ball in the funnel drops through the funnel.
(rambling again sorry - told you I needed Andy Hughes excellent communication and explanation skills)
but maybe one of you will know what I'm talking about
