UK Open 2008?

i would be perfectly happy with that :D
and jude has a chance of getting the OH UKNR :p
yesterday he got an average of 5 with one full step 24, and another PLL skip 24 one after another... averaged out as just over 30s...
 
lol dont worry about that... i was too busy concentrating on not popping to worry about speed... i got some nice sub16/17s later (with 3 look i might add) to make up for it :)
 
yeah i definitely experienced that for a long time every time i went in front of a timer... i was like "gotta get sub 40/30/25/20/18..." and consequently did terrible, terrible, solves. ive gotten over that now, and i dont care what i get in this competition, as everyone knows that for most people it isnt representative of how good you really are. what i AM looking forward to my performance in is UK Open 2009 :D
 
im not sure, but i would really like to see a regional open or five:D
welsh, scottish, north, south, whatever. i would definitely go.
hell, i'd even help anyone who wants to organise one.
 
yes, i do want to organise one. i need to sort my life out at the moment first, had a bit of a ..... "life rethink" ... to put it lightly!

once i've dealt with that I will for *sure* be organising another competition. hopefully two days, with lots of side events. i <3 side events.

p.s. who said they wanted to borrow a 5x5? i have forgotten.
 
:)
actually charlie, you woul've seen a whole lot more had calender had more time... Chukk came with me and ewan but there wasnt really enouh room, and then earlier that day calender came to our school, and filmed and interviewed maybe 14 people in the library, ALL doing twisty puzzles :D
 
that is crazy! no cubers in these parts... although i did track somebody down at the same uni via facebook, but i think he just thought i was a bit weird. my friends did have some interest in it, and we even all went to france for a competition, but then they suddenly didn't enjoy it anymore :(

i am really not looking forward to almost 5 hours of train tomorrow :|
 
what on earth do you mean? surely that just equates to 5 hours of cube time!?! you can learn some algs or try a new method or something...
tried heise yesterday :) got my head around some very simple commutators, and managed it in maybe 2 or 3 minutes. couldve been a LOT faster though...

btw, Escher I watched you on Calendar. I lol'd when your mate popped doing the PLL.

It wasn't a great time to pop. In my defence I practice very little and the pressure was pretty intense. Doesn't bode well for saturday though. It has to be one of the first televised pops in the UK at least...

yeah it could be five hours of cube time but i really really hate making a noise on the train with cubes because everyone stares. i do not like that. i tend to do something largely quiet... i.e. bld is perfect :P i'll practice that en route maybe!
 
I was the one who wanted to borrow a 5x5. And possibly a 4x4 because although I've bought one, it's not arrived yet and the seller e-mailed me to tell me it would be posted today or tomorrow :(

Also, I've cubed on a train before and ended up talking to this guy for a while who was interested in what I was doing. Still, I wouldn't enjoy a 5 hour train journey, even if I did have my cubes.

Also, any sub-30 solvers in Nottingham, except me? (well, sub-17 in my case, but y'know :p)
