Bristol Open 2009

I don't think I'll be able to commit to a weekend, but if you have say 3x3 and 2x2 on one day I could :)
It's just my girlfriend will be back from Oxford in December and I really don't wanna spend too much time away... (2 months away is a long time:()
 
As a lot of a newbie, not sure how much influence my say will have, but I'd say earlier in december the better. Still leaves a few weeks to save for the mad xmas eve shop then.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone at swindon. Especially Pete for his tips and Garmon on his magic technique. (Still can't get down below 3secs though!)

Hi James it's Pete, how are you? I heard you broke your foot.:(

I watched the videos on Helen's facebook earlier, some good ones on there. Are you coming to the UK Open in November too?
 
Hello mate. Kind of. Got my foot trapped in the boom of skip lorry on site the otherday. Quite sore lol. Amazingly, only a little chip off joint of big toe. Even more amazing seeing as the driver lowered it more when i shouted up lol. You should have seen the state of the lorry. Apparently, it just got round the corner when the wheels fell off and it blew up!!

I would really like to go. It's all dependent on funds available. I think i'll just give up fags to save.

I loosened the screws on my v6 today and busted my pb. Well should have. Was on for about 8.45, when i completely and utterly ballsed up and upside down j perm. Still scraped through under ten with a super effort of 9.58.52.
Magic is out of action for a day or so. No, doesn't need re-stringing just yet, just trying to stretch strings a little. Also been on deal extreme, and as soon as my wages are in account, I shall be the proud father of a mefferts clone I think.

Hows things with you???
 
I thought the 'screws' on vcubes were rivets, and trying to turn them did nothing..

How are you trying to stretch your magic strings? I'm working on doing that at the moment to one that only ever seems to +2 :)

Anything is good if it helps you quit smoking -- I was a 20 a day man before I quit (but cigs were somewhat cheaper back then - jeez 1995 seems like just yesterday!)

That shouldn't work but it seems to have anyway! \:D/

I heartily recommend the Mefferts clone 4x4x4 - my white one was comparable to some of the best original ones at the UK Open.
 
I'm interested in coming to this but it's at the bottom end of the country and I'm near the top, so I'm not sure how I'd manage to get myself there haha.
Will most definately be at UK Open though =)

Also, are there any differences between the quality of White Mefferts Clone and the Black Mefferts Clone on DX, or are they both good? Didn't even realise DX had a white one until now.

Sounds painful!

Yeah, you should try your best to come, do what it takes. It would be good to meet up again. Good one on the PB. I'm still not friends with my V6. I should solve it more. And I'm definately buying a mefferts clone after trying out Rowan's, they're much better.
 
i go to the pub for an hour and come back to this. i will be without internet for god knows how long as i'm in the middle of moving house. keep chatting about what dates are good. i think the 19th is out the window now (sorry chris, i guess that's because you'd rather come from cambridge than the north!), couldn't possibly clash with ruby's b-day and also rowan's gf coming home! maybe the first weekend of december?

and yes, dave said to me they've booked the same venue again this year for the 7th november.

Ah, but you forget, Oxford have really stupid term lengths. 'Michaelmas' as it's apparently called finishes on the 7th of December. So I dunno. I'll chat to her about it anyway :)
