Bristol Open 2009

[Muesli]

Granny smith is my preffered taste of apple.

Naa
It all about the Cox
or Royal Gala
brayburn isnt bad either

All of the above are acceptable. Red Delicious are not. They certainly are red, but are certainly not delicious.

I personally vote Tesco's own. Ultimate bargain, and relatively tasty.

All of the apples with delicious in them simply are not
Russet apples too are not worth having

Why Tesco's its all about the essential Waitrose

If this hasn't been done already:

Small suggestion: Have at least two tables and four chairs for scrambling (I remember last time in Swindon I think there was only one table )

I'll try and help out with the scrambling and judging more this time (I didn't judge anyone at Swindon ).

EDIT: Wow, two 5x5x5 rounds? I feel so lucky. I think Breandan or I (or someone else) will break the single and average NR in this comp

 

[cookingfat]

random question (but fits with the latest discussion here)

Has anyone ever tried a Chinese Pear?

Basically it's a cross between an apple and a pear and I had one the other day, they are scrummy.

There are only 30 competitors Rob so having four scramblers for something like megaminx where there are only 10 competitors, 5 in each group, it seems pretty extreme. I will be trying to have a judge at each station and a "runner" going to and from each table. This works well in the US and is a great time saver apparently, so with the groupings we should have one judge assigned to each competitor.

Please do judge Rob, the competition can only really work if people put in as much as they want to get out of the weekend. Edit: Sorry, I'm in a bad mood so if this sounds harsh I apologise: I have *really* tried to accommodate your wishes with the schedule, please DO help out as much as possible, not just *try*. Sorry...

Ah don't worry about it, I understand

I WILL judge competitors and scramble more puzzles this time

 

[CharlieCooper]

So that there aren't too many issues on the day, can you tell me like.. now, if you want to be in a different group to somebody else.

Michael, you and I are always in different groups so we can alternate data entry, hope that's cool.

Absolutely icebox sweetie

Its the first time I been online since you posted this, so sorry for late notice. If its too late don't worry, but I would love to be in same group as Brett so I can head to head him on Magic.

 

[joey]

Magic probably won't have groups... will it? O_O

 

[Jude]

Joey you look different to how I remember you in your avatar.. Have you had a haircut?

 

[Toad]

Toad is excited about Bristol and looking forward to meeting everyone...

If you see me please come and introduce yourself. I'll either look a bit like my profile pic or possibly wear a hoody with Toad on the back.

... or both if you're lucky.

 

[Anthony]

Joey you look different to how I remember you in your avatar.. Have you had a haircut?

Nah. He pulled a Kim Petras.

 

[Forte]

Simon!!!!! YAY HE'S GOING TO PWN SQUARE-1!!!!

 

[joey]

Me and Simon made an agreement at the UK Open. He said he wouldn't beat the current NR single (18.21) but he could just average above it!

 

[CharlieCooper]

Ohh yay, I will see most of you tomorrow. If any of you people are about in the evening, we shall gather. If you wish to do so, text me, and if you don't have my number, that's probably because I don't want you to have it (JOKES) or... I forgot.

James, no groups for magic, just go judge each other and stuff.
Finally finished scorecards, PHEW. I am sore, and if anyone b****** about my handwriting, they can go and... go away.

For the 2 people not staying at mine, where are you staying?

 

[joey]

Excited.

Yeah, I'm not keeping to that. My apologies.

In all seriousness, I would be disappointed with a sup-18 average. Hopefully nerves won't get to me...

Also, can I borrow your V5 please Charlie? And don't forget the square-2 Joey!
