Cuthbert's Open 2013 (UK)

So, this might be a bit too late but does anyone have a single spare white 5x5 sticker?
Sarah's centre cap is down to 30% sticker (don't ask) and I use black on white so don't have a spare for her.
 
Well just got back home. Great, great comp, well done Billy and Dan, the event was a credit to you. Loved the public venue which can only go to enthuse others to cube.

Its been far too long and it was great to catch up with old friends and meet new cubers alike. Thanks to my wife Simone and kids for accompanying me and fellow cubers for making them feel welcome. Apologies we had to leave so early but with a drive back to Devon and the kids with school tomorrow we were not left with much choice.

Very pleased with 9 comp PBs so the old hands have not given up yet.

DYK's to follow tomorrow, some YouTube uploads in the next few days.

PS: Billy, did I leave my 8x8 in your safe hands? Or has my old age and senility left it unattended! :)

My last solve in the first round was 11.7, I didn't stop the timer properly. If I had.. I probably would have a sub-11 average.

Best part of the comp was sub-10 single in the finals.
 
I don't have the energy to type anything substantial right now.. but I just want to say that I hope you all enjoyed the competition and that I did a good enough job at... everything.. and stuff :)

Glad I don't have to wait very long till I get to see you all again.

Yes it is in my posession and I will look after it well. If you would like me to mail it through do let me know and we can arrange that. May do a few solves on it first ;)

Selkie it was an honor to meet you. You are a legend and I hope to see you again soon.
 
DYK...

Billy turned up?
nobody else did?
no pool?
touchy feely team BLD isn't for girls?
how sensitive Laurence's nipples are?
he can also replace sleep with 2x2?
you don't need a pint glass for a shot of Jägermeister?
sub 16 with a black SS corner in a white 55mm ZC?
beat Dan iel twice consecutively and legitimately?
I don't think he'll ever let that happen again?
BV is back?
he didn't even get lost despite not knowing where he was at the time?
at the end of the corridor again? Really?
early at the venue and sober but a day late?
still earlier than Tim?
he didn't sleep in the venue?
competed for exactly as long?
12 seconds to U?
mainly due to a pop?
would've beaten my all time pb 8 seconds?
I want to blame my V5 but probably shouldn't?
Sarah made 5x5 cut?
by over 12 seconds?
she's gona catch me soon if I don't extract a digit?
I'm really excited for when that day comes?
PB comp 3x3 average?
added 6 seconds for good measure in the 2nd round?

Fantastic event Billy. You should be proud.
Massive thanks as always to Daniel.

Looking forward to Leicester already. Can't wait to see everyone again.

Probably more DYKs to come. Later. Much later.

Edit 1 - DYK CHJ has dust instead of lube?
Edit 2 - DYK Selkie bought all of the Maru lube so gave me a bottle when I failed to purchase one.
Edit 3 - DYK Billy got half of all the words in my drink correct.

Don't worry about posting it. I have only solved it about 5 times since I bought it. You can keep hold of it until the next comp. As mentioned to some, we will be completing on our house next month so UK Championship is unfortunately out so will be next year for my next comp, should give you ample time for some solves :)

Thanks you for the kind words, it was great meeting you too. You held a great comp that was a pleasure to attend. Look forward to the next one and hopefully more time to catch up and maybe even a beer or three!

At work so DYKs still to follow...
