UK Open 2010

[CharlieCooper]

Charlie, what time will things (pizza and whatever) be happening on Friday night?

Ummm 7 or 8 ish? I guess? I will go to venue for 3pm though, so if you want to help me set up, please do!

Glad the cookie bribe has worked.

Even if you are a new competitor, we have a little session at the beginning on Saturday for new competitors to understand how to judge, scramble and compete in the correct way so it shouldn't matter that you haven't competed before!

You would think that we're all more interested in cookies than cubes (which might have some truth ... )

Ummm 7 or 8 ish? I guess? I will go to venue for 3pm though, so if you want to help me set up, please do!

Cool, I'll wander around for a while then head to the venue for 3, cookies sound good ... mmm cookies ...

If this deal falls through, I might be interested.

As long as your not in my round, anyone can use any of my cubes. I have pink instead of orange and light green instead of standard green though. On all puzzles.

Ok, my white Meffert's will be coming, I guess someone will end up with it. And same deal with borrowing cubes if people ask nicely.

[blakedacuber]

and is there gunna be t-shirts

 

[CharlieCooper]

To avoid too many hands setting up, I only ask for Joey/Thom/Toad to the venue at 3. Although your offers of help are appreciated, it will be manic with any more people and a bit difficult to be productive. It will be predominantly moving tables and chairs.

Joey and Thom, what time does your train arrive? 1? If so, Toad come to mine for about half 1 and we can luncheon here (I promise Joey as an incentive to get here early) before going to the venue.

Once we are finished there, I will post in this thread and we can convene at mine or somewhere like McDonald's.

 

[joey]

If we're going to the venue at 3, surely we can arrive later than 1?

 

[CharlieCooper]

There are a few things to deal with at mine before, i.e. what things to take etc. etc and we need to actually walk there. Arrive at 2 if you like but then I cannot bribe you with luncheon and we will be whizzing off quickly. Choice is yours!

 

[Kirjava]

Joey will arrive on time if he knows what's best for him.

 

[CharlieCooper]

Presumably you are arriving together? I don't imagine for one minute that you'll be travelling alone?! And hey, I even told him he could have what he wanted for lunch. I AM NICE.

 

[Kirjava]

Yeah, no point in making that journey seperately.

I'm happy to arrive as soon as possible to extend the amount of cubing-related time to enjoy :3

 

[Cube-Fu]

Hi guys, it's the wanderinggibbon, I'll be coming with my friends Dan (from Freeze Peach) and Neil, he's just ugly and stupid. just wanted to make sure everything's on par ... anything I should know?

Ahh, he said he knew you. Everything now makes sense in my mind. Are you competing though?

Also, if you are staying on Sunday night, you are leaving very early on Monday because I have uni all day and I can't miss it

 

[Kirjava]

It's crazy considerate that you'd let us stay on sunday even though you have uni. Thanks again

Hey, maybe we can go visit lectures with you?

Yeah you can come to the lectures if you really want, but not the seminars I can pretend you are prospective English students to blag that one if you really want, but I assure you it'll be very boring. I get back from uni at about 5pm on Monday so if you really want to stick around that long at my place you can, but the problem is that you can't leave while I'm out as the door has to be locked from the outside. I can probably miss the morning if necessary and just go in for the afternoon to allow everyone more time to leave!

 

[Kirjava]

nonononono don't skip uni because of us :/

we'll probably just wing it and decide what to do on sunday (or sooner if you need to know)

zomg we could steal free education :O

 

[Cube-Fu]

Neil and I were going to; I'm on 2x2-5x5 ... I was going to do other things, but last time, it was all a bit too much, with no time to practice and relax. Neil, just wants 2x2 and 3x3, but he's quite hairy, so you might not be able to trust him. Dan, would like to cube, but he finds the whole thing a bit confusing, so I was just going to throw things at him, until he goes away. I'm surprised everything makes sense now, shouldn't you get a Nobel prize, or something anyway, like a sandwhich? Do you want us to register properly?
