UK Open 2008?

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)

i have a friend from nottingham who goes to my uni who has been to a competition, but he is not sub 30. he also likes magic.

Welsh open? Next year? Done.
I would be so happy if I could organize a competition, I would have clock.
But I doubt I would be able to.

Anybody know whether any sellers are going to be at the open? There's a page on dan's website about it and I was wondering about what would be available.
 
Hmm, I don't think Ritch Kitching will be there. It would be cool if Tony from Puzl.co.uk came or something, but again, I don't know anything about it!
 
breandon vallance could get 3x3 (and 5x5?) UKNR... i reckon chukk could get the OH with a little luck. Im sure you could improve on your UK record joey...
and if i keep improving like i did in the past two hours over the next 36 then ill be maybe sub 0 on the 4x4...
i had a 2:15 of 12 avg yesterday. today i had a couple of normal (2:10-20) avgs, then did a few 3x3 OH solves, and then did some more 4x4, and got 2:00:07 of 24, with a 1:39 and 1:42 as the best times, the first having no parity and the second with OLL parity :D
not bad for about 20 days...
 
rich kitching could be there, he normally has lots of things. there was some wooden puzzle guy there last time too. he put the puzzles out on the tables for us to play with, that was fun! although i feel bad that loads of them must have been left unsolved for him to sort out :P

mtg yes i can sell you things if you like. what do you want? i put all of my cubes onto a shelf earlier and realised i have WAY to many. i think selling some is a good idea :P
 
i'd buy a 5x5, and/or a 3x3.
i have two 3x3s, but one really deserves to be its own dedicated OH cube and the other is just an (a), which ive decided is poo.
 
well i'm the worst person in the world to talk to about 3x3s. i have terrible terrible 3x3s. i would pay somebody a lot of money for a super super 3x3 (actually, joey, don't you have two for me from arnaud?).

i have a white v5 that i might want to sell actually. i bought it thinking i'd use it, but turns out i've barely touched it. mtg wants to borrow it, but after that maybe you can have it. i will mull it over :P
 
dont feel at all obliged to sell, its a passing thought :) i'd just like to have some sort of 'trophy' from the day. im sure there'll be plenty of things to sell flying about...
 
well there might not be. i was a bit disappointed on that front the first time i went to a competition :( having said that i bought a magic, and a square-1 which i only actually learned how to solve about a year later :P

Yes, Joey is bringing you the superduper cubes and although they will be entirely new out of the box, they will already be good enough for competition use :eek:

I will be using the same type in Switserland, so I expect us to get the same average again :p

Have fun everyone and see you on monday
