Bristol Spring 2010

[Ethan Rosen]

One of my friends who averages 45 seconds claims to have done a 9 second solve with LBL, cross skip, 1 FL corner insertion, 1 middle layer edge insertion and LL skip.

Apparently you've been a bad influence.

Apparently you're just a completely offensive faggot who has no respect for anyone.

I've been reading this thread for a while now.
I have to say, this was great.

Sorry Ben, you just got Woner'd.

I'm sure you will return to speedsolving with another name, or whatever, but nonetheless you will read this. Rowan is right Ben, if you apologised to me for your persistent unpleasant behaviour towards me then I would more than welcome you to this competition. You have done nothing but cause yourself more problems than are necessary. I clearly am not the issue here, I get on with absolutely everybody on this forum both online and in person where applicable. We don't want you to disappear forever from this site, we would much prefer you to be an honest, kind and contributing member to the community, which you could easily do if you changed your ways. Somehow, you have gone from making ridiculous claims about a competition you only partly attended (and offended just about everybody that attended in the process) to deleting your account because you have been unable to back yourself up. Nitpicking through replies to what you have said has only aggravated us further and you have well and truly dug yourself a hole. If ever you feel you would like to make peace with me, go ahead, I have more than made an effort to be helpful and kind to you in the past and would gladly do so in the future.

This is kinda bad publicity for your competition don't you think :confused:

 

[Muesli]

ANYWAY

Moving swiftly on.

Can't wait for the comp.

No, it is "bad publicity" for Ben. Anyone reading this thread would be aware that Ben's "claims" about a badly organised competition last year were completely invalid and stupid. He is by far in the minority. Everyone had a great time at that competition (UK Masters), Bristol Open 09 and they will have an even better time at Bristol Spring 2010. I really don't need to justify myself here :fp

@ Hyprul: No, now everyone will go as Ben isn't going.

I just want to say thanks for the entertainment Ben. I don't really want to argue against you, as Charlie and the others have already done so.

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

Haha, I meant all the arguing might give people the idea that comps are very "intense". Who cares anyway.

My friends video can vouch for the UK Masters 09. It did look really fun XD

 

[CharlieCooper]

So yeah, AWESOME COMP IN TWO MONTHS ISH.

I promise I will do the schedule tomorrow

 

[Faz]

UK comps seem like the most friendly environments, where everyone knows each other.

It's like one big happy cubing family.

 

[Dene]

Did I pointlessly flame anyone in this thread yet? I forget and I don't feel like going back and checking. That idiotheadmoronbrain ben deserves a good earbashing though.

 

[Jude]

I don't see why everyone was being so mean to Ben, it seemed like he was in the right there?

 

[Jude]

Spoiler

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA YEAH RIGHT

 

[qqwref]

Haha! I just came into this thread again and saw ben banned. +1 support to whoever did it. I hope he ends up apologizing quite a lot if he ever wants to go to a UK competition again.

 

[Anthony]

+1 support to whoever did it.

Pokemon Master.

 

[Faz]

He just travel acrossu the land. Not from anywhere sepasificu.

 

[MichaelErskine]

OK, travel arrangements: -

If I take my own car (a Fiesta) I can fit in Simon, Joey and Thom as planned.

If I hire a 7 seater Zafira (additional cost but probably more reliable) then I can get another three cubers in and we can spread the cost (whilst having a good laugh on the way).

Jude and Rowan get dibs as they're conveniently located (and good company of course).

It would be so much quicker and easier if Thom and Joey can somehow
make their way to Sheffield rather than be somewhere near the Orkneys .

For Chris we'd have to drive over to Cambridge, use the A1, M25
which is a detour of 140 miles (about 2.5 hrs) according to Google Maps

Nottingham -> Sheffield -> Cambridge -> Bristol
361 mi – about 6 hours 31 mins

Nottingham -> Sheffield -> Bristol
223 mi – about 4 hours 0 mins

So that's not looking too promising I'm afraid Chris -- can you get yourself to a better waypoint on the Friday? Looking at http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ -- Cambrige to Sheffield and Cambridge to Nottingham.

If not Chris then there's another seat free if we go for the 7 seater.

Vehicles with more capacity are significantly higher priced - the diesel Zafira seems the most reasonable (£90 for the weekend from http://www.europcar.co.uk/).

Pretty sure we can get to sheffield.
