Bristol Open 2009

"Tell you something about me contest": I am considering selling my house and live on a ship with a bunch of girlfriends

I am also more than willing to share a cupboard with MTGjumper (wearing clothes this time)
And I am bringing the car that will be yours for the duration of the tournament time framen
And I look forward to the sardine-pictures!
Finally, I don't drink my Squash neat. I add sugar for the needed sweetness. That is right, I am not naturally sweet, I use artificial sweetening

Lol Arnaud you can survey the the flat on Friday and tell me how many people you think we can squeeze in. If you think I am being too conservative then more people can stay. I leave it in your hands, you are the sardine expert. Now go register - I HATE updating the competitors table but I have free time now :P
 
Oh okay, thanks I'm just trying to see if I can make it there on time for Saturday, the earliest I can arrive is about 3pm.

Also I've never been to Reading train station before and I have only 8 minutes to change trains, which I'm slightly worried about.

HOWEVER, I have this "careers fair" day on that saturday so I might not have any lessons (but I'm not certain about that) therefore I might be able to miss school on that day and my dad might be able to drive me there on saturday morning.

If I can actually make it, then that means I just need to find a place to stay.

It should be very easy to change at Reading. There aren't that many platforms and the one that the train to Bristol goes from is very big and obvious. Actually, I think you just have to pass over the bridge. It's really not hard :) Once you know for sure I might be able to sort out the schedule a bit if possible to accommodate your travelling, we'll have to see.

I saw. It made my day :P

You should also know that the extra information might form part of a mystery event ;)
 
A couple of questions:

Alex R from Spain might come to Bristol, I am wondering if anybody, i.e. Arnaud, would mind driving him to Bristol Airport on Sunday evening after the competition (his flight means he needs to be there around 6-7pm) so you would need to go quite quickly after the end.

Also, does anybody, in the case that he comes, need to share a room on Friday and Saturday night at the youth hostel?

I am entirely intrigued by that mystery event. It might be life-changing

Also, consider my car a free taxi and just tell me what to do

Is there any scope for a sub 9 mean for the 7x7?
Click to expand...

Gah, maybe. I'll look to see, but really, it's not that popular :P I would rather use the time to do a second round of 4x4. If not that many people want to do it, I'll change it to stack mat limit.

I don't mind either way really. It would be nice to get an avg for it but if not thats okay. I just know that however much I practise, I won't be able to drop over a minute off my time lol.

how do i convince my parents to drive 300 miles to bristol?

Hey there, didn't realise there was anyone so close to me cubing. I'm from Durham area, and considering going down to this, but not certain yet.

I was looking into possibly flying down, as easyjet flights are only around £30, MUCH cheaper than getting the train.

Still not sure if I'm going, but it's a possibility, and I'd be flying from newcastle...



You coming to UK Open?
Click to expand...
i would fly but my stepdad tells me i need official id to fly within the country eg. drivers licence or gun licence
as i am only 14 i dont have any licence or a passport (never been abroad)
and the train costs alot and driving takes a long time

so its probally a no =[
