Bristol Spring 2010

[MTGjumper]

Oh, no I was commenting on Oliver's Joey Tribianni-esque comment, and was trying not to confuse you. Yeah, that didn't really work

 

[DavidWoner]

Does anyone have any orange 2x2 stickers? Joey needs them.

 

[r_517]

tbh if you/anyone had any spare LL2x2s I'd probably buy one too.

i bought a white LL a few weeks ago and it arrived last weekend. if u need it i can send it to u for free (excluding shipping fee)

 

[joey]

Nah, I want black

Also, I don't need Orange.

I have growlan, not arcalan :<

 

[r_517]

i love black two that's why i'm not using it anymore

 

[Robert-Y]

Does anyone have a GOOD mini QJ 4x4x4 for me to borrow please? Charlie?

I'm never really satisfied with my own cubes

 

[Kirjava]

I dunno if I'm gonna use my big QJ or the mini one yet.

You can use it if we're in different rounds for sure though.

Thanks, I wouldn't mind using a big QJ. I'm not sure if the cube size makes a difference for me...

 

[joey]

Bearing in mind, BOTH kir's cubes suck.

 

[Kirjava]

Oh, cool. I have a white big QJ that's not as loose as the black one, too.

PROTIP; Joey thinks every cube sucks. Even his own.

Dunno why, but I feel compelled to document the equipment I'm using for each event.

2x2x2; Arcalan
3x3x3; FII - Cubesmith Bright
4x4x4; Big/Mini QJ
5x5x5; YJ (the vcube mech)

Pyra; QJ Pyra

[MichaelErskine]

Mine:
2x2x2: LanLan - black with CubeSmith orange
3x3x3: Type-A(III)
3OH: white Haiyan or black ghosthand
4x4x4: old big tiled white Mefferts clone but maybe white mini QJ or new big white LanLan when restickered - doesn't matter as I am slow as hell!
5x5x5: black V5
6x6x6: black V6 pop-o-matic (tm)
7x7x7: white V7
Square-1: white MF8
Pyra: black Meffert's
Clock: erm, Rubik's
Magic: ancient black Rubik's partially restrung with fishing line
Master Magic: mini popbuying rubbish

EDIT: the hire car will be delivered to my home at 5.30pm on Friday which is way later than I'd like. I'm trying to change that but they're not answering the phone at the moment grrrr. Fuller itinerary to follow

EDIT: cool - I got through to the hire firm and the car is now being delivered at 3:30pm so the journey will start soon after. @MTGjumper what time do you want picking up and from where? If you're going into Nottm by train then I can get you from the station. @{everyone else} pickup in Sheffield: from Jude's or Rowan's? BTW: space in a Zafira with 7 seated cubers is going to be premium - travel light as possible - sleeping bags may have to be worn

Estimated time of arrival would be appreciated!

My plan is:

Go to uni and make floor space until 7pm..
Meet Lars and Hungarians at train station shortly afterwards..
Go to eat food somewhere with them and cube until about 10-11pm
Meet Erik and Sebastien where their bus gets dropped off...
Go home and wait for everyone else. Do you envisage arriving earlier than 12? My geography is completely whacked, so you'll need to tell me how long it takes to drive the route from Nottingham

Also Rob, my mini QJ is not that nice these days, a bit locky, but sure, if you like it you can use it.

 

[joey]

What time in Sheffield?

ps. rowan() is sitting next to me in the car (i just decided), we have a lot of work to do.

OK, if we have a fixed arrival of midnight then working backward from then (pending Friday night traffic!) it would take about 6 hours if we go via Manchester (which would probably be a lot less hassle for Joey, Thom and AndyT)...

Google Maps Directions

If we arrive at the flat slightly early then I still have to take the car to the car park up the road for safety's sake. So we could either drop off most stuff and people and wait patiently or we could come and find you guys.

Previously we were aiming to arrive by 10pm based on Erik's ETA.

Whaddya think folks?

 

[MichaelErskine]

I want no fighting in the back - don't make me come back there!

EDIT: it should take about an hour and a half to get to Sheffield from Nottingham so I'll know better when we work out Simon's pickup time and location.

Ersk: If we were to get into sheffield, how much time would that take off the journey?

 

[MTGjumper]

I am meeting before going to Sheffield or after?
