Bristol Spring 2010

So I've made last minute decisions to actually go for the comp since Charlie says it's okay :D

One problem though, is there any place I can crash in for the night as I have not settled my accommodation yet? Anyone sharing rooms with an extra place to share? I don't mind sleeping on the floor actually (or even sleeping at all :p)

Edit:
Nah, looks like National Express and Megabus's schedule doesn't allow me to reach on time for 3BLD on Saturday anyway. I guess I'll just go on the 2nd day then
Edit2:
Bah, forget it. Cheap transports and accommodations are hard to find when I'm so late, oh well. Definitely going for the next UK comp! :D

oh i just saw the update of the schedule, after i had printed the old version yesterday:(

one little question: will the magic&master magic events be a bit annoying for those who participate in 4*4BLD? they compete at the same time

We did it before and it was okay. People had plenty of time to complain if they wanted to :P Also another benefit is that it's an event that's quickly caught up with by the people in 4BLD as there is no scrambling and competitor area situation.
 
:( I have been given my ultimatum. My parents have both said unless I can find someone else who is staying in my hostel (www.007hostel.com) I am not going to bristol spring 2010. So I desperately need to find someone else who is staying there the friday night before or someone who is in another hostel or hotel that still has rooms available because I really want to go and don't want to let those who have been so helpful down. So if anyones staying here on the friday or knows anyone else who is then please post here or PM me.
Thanks all,
Andrew Thomond
 
Okay ladies and gentlemen, with just three days to go, I'm still Teraminx-less. Its been, and I quote, "currently progressing through our network. " for a fair few days now, so I may have it tomorrow or Friday - Daniel S, if we have time, a head-to-head?

I digress though.

Michael - if your still interested - I have a stickered Meffert's Megaminx, which now comes with a set of Meffert's Tiles, which did get delivered today. Shiny gold nuggets or a trade is possible.

Also, if anyone is interested, I may have a spare 30th Anniversary Wodden Cube for sale. Me and Helen don't communicate much :D, and so I ordered one, it got delivered, and she told me she'd bought me one too. The "may" part is dependent on Royal Snail delivering it in the next two days. A woed of caution - unless you are Mariusz Pudzianowski - I suggest you don't try fingertricking. It seems as though its just a storebought core, with Wooden "extensions". Its so tight, I daren't try popping a piece out yet. I guess vaseline could make it better quick, but it definately is more of a Mantlepiece ornament. The stickers seem to be a see through film, like 3D glasses, and the white side is bare wood.

Daniel M - 0530 still good? We should have time for a Full English at Leigh DeLaMare - or a croissant and coffee if you prefer lol? Remember - travel light. Clothes can always be worn inside out the next day! :D


Also, has anyone got a spare 6x6 core - modded/unmodded - that they would like to part with?

See you all soon.

There is still a place spare in our room at the Full Moon on Friday night, but it's over 18s only :(.

It's not your fault at all, you couldn't help it, just like i wont be able to help it if i cant find someone by tomorrow night.
 
Potential idea: if Andy can't stay at the hostel, I could potentially stay at Full Moon (although would I be paying?) as I'm 18, thus freeing up more room at Charlie's if she would be OK with having you. Also, there's a good chance that I haven't thought this through properly, but just go along with me :p

This would work, but is unfair on you as you have to change your plan and unfair on charlie as she has never met me before and might not want strangers at her place, which i can totally agree with.
I don't want to be unfair on anyone if i can, because it is my fault because of my bad planning.

Can't you say that you will ring them before you sleep to confirm everything is okay?

She's not budging on the staying on my own thing. I've never really done any "travelling" on my own so she isn't too keen on the idea.

CharlieCooper said:
Yeah I don't think Andy can stay here... sorry.

I live with someone else and we agreed nobody that he didn't know, which is fair enough I think.

EDIT: You can say you are staying here if you want?

I totally understand as I have never met anyone before except joey and kir and strangers in your house can be trouble. EDIT: not that i'm bad or anything though.
:)

You could say that I am staying there with you, as that was the original plan, but that could get a bit iffy.

just as my opinion stated yesterday. tell your parents that you are at somewhere with someone. have to lie sometimes:(

ps: actually i lied to my parents that i'm going to UK with a friend. otherwise they will never ever allow me to travel alone for 9 days in a foreign country:(
 
If i could come up with a good lie that wasn't checkable I would use it. but dont want to get caught lying the first time i ever do something like this because i dont want to lose trust for future events etc.

PS only 8 months 2 days til i'm 18 and freeeeeeee :)
