Yet that was only 1 week ago.

It feels like ages I had cubers in my house, but that was also less than 1 week ago.

on the other hand, with big cubes, i tend to do better in competition because the lighting is a lot better than in my room.

Yeah I hate that, especially with the ES clash of red and purple. Very often I either get DNFs or have to redo dedges due to me having paired red/blue with purple/blue. In fact, I did it last weekly competition :(

I can't imagine doing more than 2 or 3 seconds worse than my normal average in competition, but in the case of 2x2x2 that is a long time I suppose. I'm hoping for roughly equal (give or take 10%) times in competition as my times at home..
 
lol good for you Chukk, you dont crack up that much under pressure :)
you know how nervous i get when we're just racing... ill probably go up by about 20/25%; around 24s avg on 3x3, 8/9s on 2x2, & probably about 50s on OH (ive gotten awful). ill just lose in H2H...
 
Update: 16.38 session average, of 25 solves.

Also, regarding the venue: I know vaguely where it is (to the south-east of the stadium, right?), but the last time I went to Old Trafford was 2 years back, and I don't want to randomly get lost. Will the venue be signposted well and easy to find?

Also, anybody know whereabouts a good place to park would be?

we start at 18:50 or so. i doubt you really want to watch the rest.
i apologise in advance for the presenters saying it was the world championships, we only had time to record one take, or go live, and also i do NOT think im going to get a UK record, with any degree of luck or practice... but i didnt want to say that on TV ;)
