Well you can say you are staying at mine if you want, with everyone else driving. She has Mikey's details and if she goes with the idea, she can have mine. I can tell a white lie maybe.

Thanks for the idea and the willingness to lie for me but its a bit risky:
"mum: hi is that charlie?
charlie: yes whos this?
mum: i'm andrews mum, is he behaving? (typical but sad, i know)
charlie: yes
mum: please could you put him on a second i need a quick word (devious)
charlie: ermm... okay??? *deep voice* hello mum */deep voice*
mum: andrew is that you?

this could be problematic and end in no money for me and no future trips away.

I'm sure Charlie's house is close enough to the hostel to allow you to crash at hers until 10pm or so, then nip over to the hostel for the night. You could ring your mum at 9:30 and then "turn your phone off to get an early night".

Actually yeah when you arrive won't be that long before bedtime?! Surely you can turn your phone off to sleep. Also, she's not going to ring my house phone after a certain time, is she?

Or even better:

mum: please could you put him on a second i need a quick word (devious)
charlie: (to someone else) where's andrew? is he upstairs?
*someone else*: errr he's asleep lol
charlie: he's asleep upstairs, said he wasn't feeling too well earlier I think
mum: oh dear, please make sure he's alrite, I shan't disturb him then.
charlie: sure, I'll see how he's feeling in the morning and let you know if anything's not good.
mum: thanks.
 
i think when u get there it should at least be in the evening?
anyway if it seems too early to get to sleep:

mum: please could you put him on a second i need a quick word (devious)
charlie: he's having a shower now. i'll let him call back a quarter later;)

then:
charlie: hey Andy come here at once!

no as i would personally kill her if she did that.
also charlie how much do you think a taxi would cost friday night from yours to BS3 3LY? and also how much from there to the venue?? I never really use taxi's and wouldnt have a clue.

I think i'm just gonna risk it. give her my old mobile number. take my old mobile and answer it saying "tony?" said it was an unknown number and i knew it was yours :)

I don't want a fight erupting over this lol. It may not even be here.

It would have to be rock-paper-scissors to decide :D

But, like you say, it may not arrive in time.

i love scissors:p

the first and the most important thing to me is to make sure that my baggage doesn't exceed 10kg :( maybe i'll have to put all my cubes in my pocket:(

Daniel S, if we have time, a head-to-head?

......

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

See you all soon.

I'm well up for a teraminx head-to-head too! Having said that, I've had mine for about a week and have only done one solve, which was ~2 hours (not in one sitting). Maybe we won't have time...

I have a spare unmodded 6x6 core that I'm more than happy to part with. It's black. I'd rather trade it than take any money for it, if that appeals to you?

I wasn't initially planning on bringing my tera as it is a little bulky and heavy. I have done 2 solves (first was 2 hour 12 mins) and the layers were definitely catching less the second time around (didn't time it though) so I think I'd be around 1:40 next time. Given that I'm doing every event except magics (doing 4x4x4bld during that) I won't have any time to race unfotunately. Shame
 
me too now i have a master plan :) also if anyone is into magic and has some spare time one night or during the day and wants to exchange some tips/tricks with me that'd be cool too.
 
Tell her that you're getting DROPPED off RIGHT at the Hotel, and we will make sure that you are booked in properly etc. And ring her when you get there etc etc, and that you're meeting people in the morning.
