Did I mention how much I hate scrambling square 1?

Did I mention how much I hate scrambling square 1?
I'll post some thoughts tomorrow. Mainly, I'll rage.
DYK:
So many people not going to a comp makes it less fun?
It was still an awesome weekend?
It was very wet and my feet were wet for most of today?
I suddenly get very fast at 3x3 on Friday, but I still did lots of fail at it in comp?
2 of the same awkward OLL + its mirror + several G perms makes an average really annoying?
1:00.03 4x4 average when going for sub-1 is also annoying?
The same happened for sub-1:30 for 3BLD, but I was actually happy with how the round went?
3:07 on 6x6, 22 secs faster than PB, really improves an average and I somehow got podium?
Even though I use a lolmethod?
Foot cube OH is fun?
Yey for rocking 5BLD, but I epic failed 4BLD?
Everyone else epic failed 4BLD too?
I screwed up multi but still won?
I ironically scrambled almost single-handedly for a round of OH?
Like really, where does the sea go?
I messed up the easiest 4x4 scramble ever because I suck and I was tired?
I fail at megaminx these days?
Kir does some awesome unofficial events?
Like speed box building?
And he even borrowed one of my boxes for it but apparently my hardware isn't any good?
One wing flipped is possible?
I only just remembered what route I had planned for my third 4BLD attempt, and I had to use a different one for it?
Double chairs FTW?
I got a free beer on the flight home when the air hostess saw me cubing?
Think that's everything, but I'm sleepy
Fun weekend, here's my DYK...
Daniel Sheppard official parking cone.
Daniel forgot he actually had to delegate on the first day.
Whisper ceilings on the first day did not help for blindfolded.
DOUBLE CHAIRS!
Venue on the second day was freaking cold.
COGHILL I STILL HATE YOUR CLOCK BURN IT PLEASE.
LolBLD, somehow I still came 3rd in Multi.
Chris failed at counting the moves for his 2x2 single.
Everyone failed at magics.
All NRs set were in finals.
Even though I was shouting both days all day my voice did not suffer at all.
Freaking Sq-1 pops mang.
GO FOR GOLD BALLOON!
Euro cuts in things!
Noooooooo.....!
Cube stacking world records I now hold: Putting one cube on top of the other (0.21), switching around two stacked cubes (0.28).
Speed reading scrambles with various difficulty levels such as mirror inverse.
We all failed magics...
Beer.
Envelope throwing.
Rob Yau waking up at 4am to do a megaminx Average of 50 obivously worked.
Context Coghill!
3 Burger Kings, 1 McDonalds and a Subway is good meals for cubing.
4 Double Parities and 1 PLL Parity first round in 4x4. One OLL Parity in finals.
Selkie bra pop.
I shouldn't film Simon doing Sq1 because apparently he's terrible at it.
Spefdoor.
Coghill sleeping in his car.
I think I mentioned magics...
DYK:
I spent more time travelling to and from the competition than at the competition itself
I want to thank Simon for putting me up for the night.
I feel sorry for him about the +2 on his 8.44 solve.
I felt crap on the first day. Probably as a result of not having slept since Friday morning.
I had my most inconsistent 3x3 average so far. 29.xx 31.00 and 3 sup-40s
This was my worst average in 4 months
But I did have a single PB.
This was the first time I didn make it to the second round of 3x3 in 4 months.
Rob Yau thought I wanted to lube my Magic
I very briefly had a 1.72 single on a 2x2, making me number 4 of The Netherlands.
That didn't last very long as the mistake was spotted quickly.
Anyone have the second 3x3 scramble from round 1 (the one with the lolf2l on green)?
Doesn't seem like the scrambles in the group 1 or 2 envelopes match your video. The group 3 scrambles are missing. Sorry but you'll have to get Brest to reconstruct
No problem, I might still be able to remember my solution anyway.
DEFINITELY PUT UP EXTREMELY PROMPTLY
Mind uploading my first round of sq1?
