I think I aimed a little too high as 2x2 avg I was happy wit 3.57 but the single was bad
3x3 single yae and 6 and 7 yae!!! also sub ben mega WOOOOO!!!! other than that was bad
ryan is 12th in world so close enough, Nevins dunfed, dan competed and took my 2nd coz I faeled, I become slow at 4BLD again and matt won, ben LOLOLOLOL, podium sucked, and ciaren not as many NR's as I thought.

DYK's

- 2:30 coach alone is shorter than 3:30 trip with karolis?
- I just typed out a massive list but speedsolving deleted it, okthanxbai?

- Rob: "did anyone realise that ayyub's name backwards is buyya backwards?"?
- Agassi: "don't slam your cube like that, its like a baby!", me: "don't say that! I've put my fingers in it"?

- I had a guerlla lubing spree?
- and billy's ended up bad?
- I seem to have scrambled all of simon's NR scrambles in the UK?
- not even sub callum goodyear 4x4?

DYK:

Mosh got ten times more awesome when we discovered the basement?
We drank till about 4am and got 2 hours sleep before comp?
That seemed to be all that was needed?
I should stop taking my main out with me to pubs?
Two girls stole my main and denied that they had it until the bouncers got involved?
They got thrown the fak out?
I don't remember much past that...?
Apparently I kissed Tim?
Woke up next to Sam? Jesus....
Overslept and had to wash in disabled toilet... both days?
Documentary guys were awesome?
I'm very proud of the power system I built for the timers?
Lorunce is still a living disaster?
Set up didn't take as long as last year?
Hotel bar FTW..?
Rileys as usual... and Dan looked very nervous when he almost got beat at table football?
Dan won?
Impressed myself with my pool skills at times?
Carrum lubed my main without asking me the night before 3x3...? *facepalm* Told him off and made him clean it?
I still love him <3 ?
Adam is the best at being patronising to incompetent Riley's staff/Taxi drivers?
Shirts from this comp are now my favorite cubing shirts?
The amount of PR/Press was crazy.. but so cool?
We were all celebrities for two days?
FGTV made Matt look overly cheesy with his cubes for photos?
I looked terrible for my documentary interview?
Sunday surprise.... <3 :) ?
Callum actually moved the cube aside in order to look at the timer before PLL on his 10.97?
That probably cost him .98?
LoL
Rob and I need to come up with some more interesting things to do rather than just repeatidly shaking hands every other podium?
I hate handing out the awards because of the awk handshakes??
Packup was much faster than last year?
This was an EPIC weekend?
OH 5x5 no table abuse is painful?
Almost missed coach back through oversleeping?
Post comp blues sucks.. :( ?
Dan is still an amazing person and the UKCA would fall apart without him. I appreciate his friendship?
I miss you all already?
I don't know what I would do without cubing in my life?

That is all x

Thanks to the organisers and everyone that helped out!! :tu top draw.
Everything went like a blur, didn't quite feel settled and didn't concentrate properly with a few jitters, but at least I didn't fall off the stage or anything. Predicted bottom 10% and got 69 out of 77 so surely can only get better in the future.
Felt a bit odd being the only parent there competing with my sons watching rather than the other way around, maybe next time I can persuade my sons to join in as well.

Could you please reconstruct your 8?
Noob failed at cross =P
 
3x3x3 not turn to jelly and fail massively. Again.
4x4x4 settle on a method. Any one will do. And work out how to do it quicker than 5x5x5
5x5x5 win my prize from billy (btw are we using single or average for our bet) x
3BLD success. This is a BIG ask.
Be present for entire comp
Get more than four hours sleep for entire weekend.
Not let Adam trick me into thinking I've done the trophy engraving wrong.
Be a better judge than last time. (Sorry!)

Ok so....
3x3x3 competition PB! Was too tired to be nervous!
4x4x4 made up a method. Wouldn't recommend it. Can't even explain it. My best single was 0.08 seconds slower than my previous 5x5x5 comp best and 10.59 slower than this comp 5x5x5 best
5x5x5 I owe Billy. Because I lost the bet. Because that's the way it should be. BUT I did get the faster single...Actually! (and the slowest average at comp!)
3BLD AUGH! I had no hope on the first scramble. But the second I think I had the memo down. Then I shut my eyes and started to solve. And dunfed cause i forgot to put my blindfold on. I gave it a go anyway but forgot where I was in my first algorithm so scrambled a cube for a few minutesl.


I was present somewhere for entire comp
I can't remember when I last got 4 hours sleep in one go but I just about made Quota for comp.
Don't be silly. I am a Professional.
I judged. What more do you want?

DYK?

Dan is a sweetheart x My best cubing moment was his face after THAT solve during the final x
Joey is not (I know I'm rubbish, you can stop telling me now!) x
By blood, sweat and spit, Nick and I, will be Party Buddies 4Eva!
Laurance, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems... Oh! and your silent disco was hillllarious!
I don't want to cube anymore
I proved this by only practicing until 2 this morning
I turn into a giggling idiot around BV
Scot will help get us all infinitely closer to warp 9!
I really enjoyed my quiet and seemingly romantic lunch with Matthew
I spent a great deal of the weekend scrambling a cube while wearing a blindfold...Sulk
And didn't have a success all weeklend. sulk more.
Loads of people asked me for 3BLD advise hahahahahahahahaha!
I only learned 3BLD 2 weeks ago and have had a grand total of five successful solves!
I do have one on camera! ;)
My ear defenders were used by all more for sleeping than solving.
I wish I hadn't woken Binnie up. He looked so peaceful
Tim wins the "sleeping at the venue" event. And asks why is there pee on the floor in the Gents? I ask HOW is there pee on the floor in the Ladies? YUK
He owes me a lot of money
Andy always seems to be solving someone else's cube
CHJ always makes my day! And SS deleted my list too!
I was really glad to meet the one on the left. He can't skip last chew.
Thanks Greg
But I liked her, Sam!
Ben is a pro
Adam never did get annoyed that it wasn't sub 10. We looked wrong during interview. I'm sorry hon.
Billy wants that one. But carried me half way back to the hotel. Because my toes were bleeding.
Because I mosh like a pro! In heels.
The bruise on my arm is getting bigger. But not as big as the guy that hit me.
And then Billy and Nick somehow teleported to the hotel horizontal lobby!
I have never solved 3x3x3 OH. It took me like half an hour to OH my 5x5x5. and I had to cheat and look at T perm written down.
I never thought to use table abuse
Our table is the cool table
Even if we move
I felt like an agony aunt all weekend
The bar maid had pulled a 24 hour shift and still looked fresh faced and gorgeous. Jealous much! Cause I do Zombie better without the makeup
I came back from comp with no main. Or in fact a legal 3x3x3. Or anything that resembles a whole cube.
I only got to compete on Sunday because Daniel loaned me a center cap.
And I spilled lube allllll oooveeeer my Florian ****
I LOVE BLD
I will get good at BLD
I have more Scottish notes than English in my wallet
I am currently in the process of designing Epic Fail Cube


Thank you everyone so much thank you x

Classy birds only wine
Stolen food
