Fantastic first comp, really friendly atmosphere, nice meet up so many fellow cubers! Watching some of the really fast folk was unbelievable, how they turn so fast is beyond me! A big thanks to everyone for making the day what it was. I had a lot of fun 
Yup, I do remember seeing an un-claimed puzl speedcube at the end. I think Ramadan (MrMoney) might have it..
Lol, you gotta love the egg
.. did anyone manage to solve it in the end?

Did you know...
- Dan and Lisa are super friendly?
- Seven Towns are really nice - I even received a gift of the Rubik's World Wii game?
- as well as organising cubing competitions, Dan can organise restaurant bills to ten decimal places?
- cubers born as recently as 1992 and 10000km from home should probably be tucked up in bed rather than out partying with irresponsible adults?
- "messing" must stop temporarily when crossing the road?
- Arnaud cannot be beaten at any form of chicken game, tempting as it may be?
- Thom Barlow is teh Roux awsomes?
- Pete Harpham is teh snake awesomes?
- Martin Smith is teh 360 awesomes?
- the E2 car park at the venue was locked?
- Lars is the coolest with any hairstyle?
- James' beard cannot compete but hey weren't handing out medals for that event?
- I was going to shave off my beard after the competition but my wife now wants it to stay?
- Joey immediately altered all my future spare time by giving me a Rubik's 360?
- the Golden Cube is huge?
- Harrison was very happy that he achieved his 3x3x3 goal - you must all see his amazing stage show though?
- somebody left me cash for StackMat timer batteries - but they're free?
- Pat Kelly is super friendly?
- I scrambled for 2x2x2 and 5x5x5 but should have scrambled 4x4x4 as I need to try out more speedcubers' 4s?
- I broke Harrison's QJ 4x4x4: an entire quadrant of the core broke off when I was solving it and it just crumbled in my hands?
- it _ALWAYS_ rains on the M62?
- the farm in the middle of the M62 is Stott Hill Farm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stott_Hall_Farm#Stott_Hall_Farm) and apparently it wasn't because they wouldn't sell?
- everybody liked the T-shirt I spent so long on: RESULT! ?
- the 360 is Satan's own design?
- my cross is so poor that it haunts my dreams?
- my puzzle travel case was full already then I had to cram a 360 into it?
- there were a bunch of boxed puzzles I meant to bring in for sale but were left in the boot of my car?
- I should be physically restrained when free food is made available?
- puzzle, baby-toy or sex-toy? Depends: at the very least try to solve it _first_, then chew it, then...?
- my satnav doesn't do U-turns - which does not instil confidence in its users?
- I was unlucky in my 3x3x3 event and couldn't memo in BLD?
- if the vacuum ice cream machine fails, it will try again?
- a lamp made out of Chinese Finger Traps should have a warning sign?
- a two day event for 2010 means more events, better formats and more fun?
- I will get no work done today?

Did you know.. ?
I missed out on all the after comp fun because I wasn't feeling great and went home to sleep?
My first official sub20 solve was a non-lucky 13.61s?
It's only my 2nd nonlucky sub-14 ever?
I didnt do so well in the semi-final for 3x3 as I did in the 1st round... but I didn't care ?
Occasionally during 4x4 I completely forget how to solve edges?
I'm going to finally start telling people I'm sub20?
Martin is unbelieveable at 360?
I saw breandan get 2 non-lucky sub8's during practise?
He STILL hasn't had a PLL skip in comp?
I didn't see everyone as much as I'd like to, 2 days to see everyone properly at Bristol will be great?
Ben is lucky?
But he didn't look happy when he was on the 'podium' ?
Even though it wasn't an event I still re-strung a magic?
The food was even better than last year?
I can't wait for Bristol now?

You are a lucky guy Ben, but getting lucky isn't a crime, so enjoy the NRs while you have them!
Also, I noticed you changed your sig. That was a good move.

Hi everyone,
As the results haven't appeared on speedcubing.com or wca.org I have uploaded them to my site - www.cubestation.co.uk - as a temporary measure. Just follow the link from the home page, and open as read only.
It was really great to see everyone!

-- Dan Harris had biiig problems pronounciating my name, and giggled every time he failed to do so? (My name is Ramadan Sulejman) and that I did not mind, seeing as it was Dan?
-- That all my OH solves containted OLLs I know twohanded, but could not execute 1handed?
-- And that I could have had a sub 35 OH solve, if I just executed the damn Fperm instead of being afraid of messing it up and doing R then U ?
-- That Emily is a really pretty girl, but solves a Sune-orientation (7moves)with a 26move algorith instead?
-- That people actually held their breath while Joey was BLD solving a cube?
-- That I look like retardation while solving the cube (really bad photos...)?

Everyone, is there something wrong with wca page displaying results of this competition? I can´t get it to open, and no scores are registered 
Say w00t. Just say it.

Well...
First, they arrived in the database (but no individual times/rankings on the top 'records' bit of each persons profile).
Then, the next day the personal records were updated, as were rankings, yet it still wasn't announced.
A couple of days later, it was announced on the front page...
And then it was removed from the front page and all the results were removed :confused:

Have any of the videos from the final surfaced yet? There is definitely more than one video of every solve, and it would be good to see everyone's averages.

They don't distract me at all, because I've disabled the avatars. Too annoying/useless/wasteful. (Pochmann)
How to...?
