UK Championship 2014

DYK:

This is my first post and 'DYK' even though I've been a member on this site for over a year?
Watching James and Laurence play speed chess cubing is really fun?
Joey and Ando took pictures on my phone and put one as my home AND lock screen?
Having my first 2 official sub-10s at 2x2 and pyra made me more happy than breaking all my PBs and NRs?
Joey got annoyed that I beat him at Skewb... again?
I can actually do much better than that?
Wasn't expecting to make clock cut-off?
Making it meant finally having a 10th NR?
I had 2 3bld practice successes so I knew that 'Third time's a charm' would work the other way round for the official attempt?
Still pretty happy with 2 edges off after only 2 weeks of 3bld practice?
We've established that Breandan's birthday is on Thanksgiving?
Ollie came and left like the wind?
He doesn't appreciate Zak's mayo sandwiches shoved in his mouth whilst practising bld?
I don't know who Andy was on the phone with but it seemed like it was someone important/famous?
Jessica thought I was American?
The 'cubers' names' game we played was so much fun?
Apparently Sameer was somehow always a probable answer?
James and Laurence trash-talking before speed chess cubing and Andy's line after that was the funniest thing I heard all weekend?
I peeled all the stickers off of Billy's 7x7?
Breandan re-stickered it for a fiver?
I liked the little announcement about the NRs because it was the first time I felt proud for some of them?
Beating some really fast cubers at some events means more to me than having NRs?
I was the one who judged Rob's 6.90? (Sorry Charlie)
Zak was still drunk on Sunday morning?
He remembered spitting in Thom's drink the night before?
Thom wanted to exchange phones with me?
He got annoyed when I said no?
I took him a piece of cube cake later so we're cool?
I saw him doing the phone thing to someone else?
I liked judging the final?
This was one of the best comps I have ever attended?
Can't wait for next year?
If the ping-pong table is still outside the train station, someone please play with me next time?

Thank you to everyone who organised, helped organised, judged, scrambled and otherwise helped to make this comp so great!
 
Just decided to join today since I am planning on finding a venue up north in Yorkshire. My best result by far was the Megaminx event which I came 13 in with an average of 2:09.08 and single of 1:48.52 which I am very happy about especially since I am now 18th in the country for Megaminx single! I improved on the majority of my events and it was great seeing familier faces yet again. My 4th cubing year done and dusted can't wait for the next one! Also in case any of you are wondering who I was I had blond hair, wore glasses a black and white pokemon top on day one and a black and white wolf top on day 2 so if you saw anyone judging that matches that description that was me.

What do you mean?

Remember when you was up stairs on that balcony area seeing the some filming you was doing and I can up the stairs and you was saying. "OMG how you get up the stairs so fast? You was down there 1 minute and now your suddenly up here!" (I have blond hair, glasses and wore and black and white Wolf top as well.)

I don't remember that...I did catch a lot of stuff on recording up on the balcony area but I do not remember that moment.
 
Have you posted any of your footage or are you putting something cool together with it?
I posted both days on my channel but it was pretty bad camera work. Including the moment when I really wanted to record skewb and as I went to the stage my mate knocked the camera so it pointed away from the stage, I still haven't forgiven her...
