Thanks again to Breandan and Simon for another awesome UK comp :) DYKs and stuff when I get home! And WR video of the 2:10 in the next few days hopefully (I have the 2:18 but there's not much point in uploading it IMO, since the reaction isn't as good).
 
GJ DJ Rob Yau Pyraminx NR single
7 move solution. He couldn't see anything during inspection so he just started at 12 seconds and did keyhole. Skipped everything after centres. We checked afterwards and it was the correct scramble. Lol.

I'm on the train on the way back so might as well do this...

DYK...

Power is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
I WIN!
Human Tetris
I present you these questions thrice.
Little Legs = Slow Walkers (Guess who?)
Where is everyone...?
And where is Ollie with his bag of magical everythings... *Ollie enters within 10 seconds of this occurring*
Ollie breaking 2 4bld WRs during retirement
BATMAN PRESENT AT COMPETITION
A second James? Now what am I going to be called!?
Kolos #1 in rankings for choice of pub
"This place looks cooollll...." - Kolos "Really?" - Simon "I said it looked like a jail" - Me
Max... Ahhhh ahhhh
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
Yeah pyraminx is my only event with a sup-1000 world ranking...
Never mind 1003rd in 3x3 average now...
Betting odds on who to win 3x3 final, 1/2 Cornelius, 3/1 Breandan and Rob, 100/1 everyone else. And guess the podium in the end...
It is physically impossible for me to get sub-12 in the presence of Cornelius Dieckmann
Then the moment he leaves I get my first sub-12 official average (Sorry CHJ)
Yeah pyraminx is my only event with a sup-1000 world ranking now...
Brest hug <3

Can't really think of anything else so this'll do.
 
DYK?

- "Welcome to Recognition Central!" - James Molloy
- Who is, by the way, the best cameraman <3
- "MIND YOUR HEAD LEST BLOOD BE SHED" - Ando and Rebecca
- Ando gives amazing back massages?
- There were lots of no shows?
- But this meant everything was chilled = better?
- Pyraminx NR single was broken for the first time since November 2011 by DJ Rob Yau?
- All competitions are now being held in Scotland so that the new, faster, younger cubers can't overtake us?
- 2x2x2 PBs? :)
- But I ruined my chances at a medal by screwing up a 1-looker on the first solve - psychology is a *****.
- FMC sucks
- This was the first competition where my parents came to spectate?
- Brest came?
- And taught me a diag Pi COLL (which came up in an official solve?)
- Mollerz reminded me of another OLL which came up in two more solves?
- I got 3 PLL skips?
- Sub-2 average for 555 (come at me Adam).
- CHJ beat me in 3BLD (technically?)
- He also just missed out on a 5BLD mean :(
- The city of Edinburgh is beaut, even when it is packed full of rugby fans?
- And the quality of the uni spanks that of my uni?

Maybe some more laters :)
 
I'll just say what I can remember, DYK:

-Pretty relaxed comp was awesome?
-I win!
-Ando is good at subway?
-(do bee doobee doo ... doo doo doo)x100?
-I was really lucky in FMC and tied Rob for 2nd?
-Insertion finder told me I'm an idiot and should have tied Dan for first?
-I was stupidly lucky in most events?
-So stupidly lucky I could epic fail and still PB?
-I failed sq-1 hax? (7/10 successes, much disappointment)
-I couldn't remember how to do OLL parity on 5x5 on 2 consecutive solves?
-Ollie has girly cubes?
-MIND YOUR HEAD!!!

Thanks to Simon and Breandan for organising, Dan and James for delegating, and Simon's floor for human tetris. Sq-1 and FMC scrambles please?

Yeah, definitely didn't break any WR's at all, no reason to put that in... :P
 
DYK...

It was lovely to have a small comp? It's been a while
The pub with it's own microbrewery was pretty cool?
Aria moves a lot in his sleep?
Rebecca can store money in her hair?
Brest is still brest?
I was in the wrong group for pyra?
James cracked under the pressure in clock again?
CHJ didn't win?
Breandan's Aochang is awesome?
Except when it explodes?
Sub 40 4x4 seems easy now?
Even when all 15 solves have a parity?
Except one solve, which ended in a timer malfunction and an extra solve that had parity?
8 move cancellation in FM made me feel stupid rather than clever?
Friday work to airport to Edinburgh to comp to airport to Monday work = tired?
When someone says "Ich habe" I finish it with "durchfall"?
We know a lot of names beginning with A?
Which cuber has the letter pairs gs and sz in their name? Impossible. Brest broke the game
Matt's sq-1 parity-avoidance kind of works?
Not many people understand betting odds?
Maybe that's a good sign?
Lorna is amazing for competing so that an extra person could advance?
Mind your head?
