Right, guess it's time to get some goals in:

3x3: <30 PB / <35 PB,
2x2: PB/PB
Pyra: PB/PB
FMC: PB (which is basically anything but a DNF)
OH: make avg cut, which automatically will mean PB/PB
Clock: If I do buy one before the comp, get a somewhat decent time

General:
beer,
have my software up and running, so we can do a really nice thing during comp,
get the times in as fast as possible,
do more scrambling and judging (provided there are more people doing data entry),
make second round in any event,
more beer,
have a great weekend

It's not even entirely a joke. A lot of us Brits have the urge to get drunk during comps. I mean, not actually during the comp per se, but after all the events for the day are done and all. You can usually expect to find everyone hanging at the pub on Saturday nights.

Basically Tyler's response.
In the UK the social aspect of cubing is very big. During the competition itself we obviously compete and make sure everything is running as smoothly as possible, but after a day of competition, it is nice to hang out, have a pint, have a laugh, and do some more cubing. Having fun with my cubing mates during the weekend is at least as important to me as getting a new PB. (Don't get me wrong, we are competitive, but mostly during comp)
 
I'd love to take part in some beer drinking but I'm not staying over. Maybe I'll toast you all from home.

As for goals I'm holding off. I have a week away at the end of October so there is a chance I might actually get in some practice. We'll see how much child chasing and socialising I'm expected to do.
