My names Leo and I live in England. I got my first 3x3x3 cube last week and have solved it soooo many times already!!!
I've managed to get my solve time down to around 1:30 on average but can't see myself losing any more than 30 seconds using my current algorithms:

FiULiUi (Reorientating pieces for first cross)
RiDiRD (Corner pieces)
UiLiULUFUiFi (centre edge pieces Left)
URUiRiUiFiUF (Centre edge pieces Right)
FRURiUiFi (top Cross)
RURiURUURi(U) (Lining up with centres)
URUiLiURiUiL (Corners in right place)
RiDiRD (Corners right orientation)

anyone got any useful tips I would be VERY grateful as am hoping to get my solve time down to under 1 minute ASAP!!!
many thanks, Leo.
 
learn advanced methods :D
okay at first.. just solve many-many times.. get you're first two layers as fast as possible.

Also use 4LLL from Fridrich.

at first OLL (last layer all the same colors up) and then PLL (all pieces to the right position)

OLL-s are:

edges:
all edges: F R U R' U' F' f R U R' U' f'
two opposite: F R U R' U' F'
two next to each other: F R U R' U' R U R' U' F'
corners:
three cycle: R U R' U R U2 R'
in other way: L' U' L U' L' U2 L

PLL: Edges CCW:
F2 U' R' L F2 L' R U' F2
Edges CW: F2 U R' L F2 L' R U F2
corners: (x) R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 l2 (x)

learn.. just learn
