UK Championship 2013

[Escher]

Signed up for 333, 444 + OH

Edit: This means I will be happy to offer my services on the old judging/running/shouting at people front for most of both days.

Whether I was an instigator or not.. I think we all agree there is only one person for the job, and that is Daniel.

Daniel: you suck at organising

Yeah, grab your pitchforks! I much preferred it back in 2008 when we only had one competition.

**** my mum just told me she signed me up for something on these dates and is like "why didn't you tell me"
and then she complains about the fact I've gone to so many competitions this year

 

[Noahaha]

Gogogo run away from home.

Or just reason with her or something.


EDIT: just read the past few pages, so I didn't realize we were talking about how great Daniel is, so here goes:

Daniel, you're gr8.



But srsly... you went out of your way to my UK comp experience awesome, and I can never thank you enough for that.

Does you Mum really understand how good you are?
Maybe if you explain how important it is to you to be become UK champion this year she might chill out a bit =)

No she does not understand and never will. I shouldn't bother to get excited for these things anymore. I have this thing where I'm really sensitive and easily upset when I'm excited, I hope I'll be ok tomorrow.

So theoretically if you go to worlds in 2015 and win 3x3 would she understand how incredible the accomplishment would be?

No; "it's just a hobby and there must be better people in the world than me who practise all day every day. My chances of winning are slim."

But of course in 2015 I'll be 18 so theoretically she wouldn't be able to say anything

We should have a thread where everyone writes an open letter to your mother. And we can all say how you're undoubtedly top 3 fastest in the world and your chances of winning are extremely high. And we can talk about how we love you and your contributions to the community, and she's doing a lot of people a disservice by not letting you compete.

I know that I at least would very happily donate to any kind of funding you would need to get to Worlds, providing you were 18 at the time as you say. That alone might be enough to provide proof to your mother that people have confidence in your abilities and you as a person. Anyway, GL tomorrow

Eh. I suppose in a couple years it should be fine, I don't want to make it a big deal.

And thanks Rowan, will I be seeing you tomorrow? Also I can probably afford (and prefer) to pay to go wherever. It kinda makes me feel guilty/like I owe something back when someone pays for me xD

Lol. Good luck with that =)
I think you might be underestimating parents abilities to interfere with your life long into adulthood.

 

[Escher]

Unfortunately not, lack of funds. I will be at UKC though

This is odd. I didn't see this message and I chatted to your parents yesterday. I'm sure I said I'll see you in Leicester and they said yes... Maybe I was wrong.

Maybe I should have had a different kind of chat with your mother.

*Bangs head against wall*

(Not chris wall...)

 

[5BLD]

Yah thats probably why as soon as we left she was like "if you pay me the £30 you can go to UKO"

I'll probably be able to save that much by then
