Firstly, thanks to Daniel, Charlie, Seventowns and everyone else who helped organise this. It was my first Bristol competition and it was absolutely great and I cannot wait to come back for another one soon!
So here's my DYK...
I woke up at 4:30am in the morning to catch my train which I subsequently missed but that didn't matter in the end anyway
I got a 3x3 average (18.83) better than what I've been averaging at home
Sam pro clock
D-Sheppz kept getting pro solves when I judged him (Pyra NR and sub-40 4x4)
My 3BLD success was my second fastest solve ever?
Kirjava 2nd best roux UK
5BLD (The person) is so small!
I suck at big BLD at comp
4x4 average!
sub-45 3OH!
I made semis to 2x2
3.32 DNF
Spef brought a music stand for my 5BLD attempts
I ate a brownie during memo
First DNF by 4 wings 4 midges and 2 centres
I did edge parity wrong anyway
I didn't have a single corner solved on my 2nd attempt
I missed a undoing a setup move for centres
Failure to balance a beer can on Coggers forehead
CIDER BOAT
I've had approximately 10 hours sleep in the last 4 days
TEAM SEXY AND WE KNOW IT
I suck at RPerms
In H2H I had done OLL at 13 and finished my GPerm at 19 and lost to Sutters who got 18(?)
MANY GUHONGS (Thanks Selkie!)
Slowan Kinneavy...
I was using someones 3x3 at the scrambling table because it was lost and I loved it and wanted to buy it, it's you the person with the large ring earring but I don't know your name - I think it was a GuHong with half brights
Breandan juggling again
Muckers cannot pack away a stackmat timer
Everyone complained about my white cubes worn out stickers
Some people thought my 4x4 was quite good even though it really isn't...
I'll add more later but right now I need to sleep.

Did you know:
I failed at 2x2, despite getting more than 5 sub 1's practicing.
In the 2x2 final, I got the same scramble twice, got a new scramble, so I ended in 4th place instead of 2nd D:
PB single megaminx ever.
Breandan trolls H2H.
I got an e second 2x2 solve.
Cubestormer 2 is awesome (when it manages to solve the aerobics cube)
I failed at magic (DNF, >1.5, 2.xx, >1.5, 1.03), but beat my PB in practice at lunch today (0.84).
I strung my magic on the train, an hour before the competition started.
lol i got to the 3x3 final
Thom is slow
>15 average in pyra
will post more later maybe.

Did you know:
SCRAMBLERS AND JUDGES NEED TO LEARN TO SCRAMBLE MY CUBES AND JUDGE MY SOLVES CORRECTLY.
I got the same scramble twice in a row... twice (2x2 and 3x3)
I just noticed that one of my 5x5 times was written down incorrectly.
pyrafail
laux sounds like a cool method.
according to team no-name, my PLL is amazing.
Ja perm = "woah"
Breandan's RU H perm got annoying after a while.
Breandan is a good juggler.
we're sexy and we know it.
I realiZed in H2H that spef looks like spef

Cider is alcoholic,
I smoke when drunk,
I suck at 5x5,
3 minutes is an impenetrable barrier for both Megaminx and 5x5,
50 second 3x3 solves,
Screaming children and speedsolving do not mix,
Judging bld makes my arms hurt,
I didn't eat enough of anything,
Mountain Dew was bogof at the tesco,
Charlie's hamster is the cutest thing,
Either the scrambles were easy or I have a future in Pyra,
Lunch was nom,
Dan Mucklow sucks at paying for cider,
Michael Erskine is a pretty good driver until he needs to change the radio station at which point the car almost ends up sideways.

DYK,
cubers are amazing people?
iPhones don't get stolen if you leave them unattended?
I fail at everything especially 4x4 (DNF,DNF)?
you shouldn't watch other people solving their LL when you currently doing your own?
I even found judging nerve racking?
Breandan really enjoys doing PLLs from weird angles?
Axel has the exact same colour scheme as me?
beautiful people can be really stupid? (I assume that only Axel will get the reference)
BBQ and Cider Boats are awesome?
nobody managed to solve Fail Cube?
even if you get <8hrs sleep over two nights you can still fail to sleep
when you get home if you drink a mini Redbull shot to make the drive more safe?
edit - and after finally getting some sleep you can be wide awake 5 hrs later?

As far as I know, not great on anything. I think I saw him get a 41 or 43 on 4x4. Don't know if its good for him or not though.

I wouldn't agree with that.
James has a cool young fam and we are all friends and should support us.
In my opinion he is always welcome to bring his kids, since
1) it wasn't that bad at all and
2) his daughter rocks!
Sorry for posting sth grown up; I know, might not be the right place for that...

If anyone has any footage of me at all that you can send me that would be great. Also Rob, I have 4 of your 3x3 solves from the first round if you would like.

Um, yes, sorry about that - but I feel I must reiterate my driving record: In 1989 no-one died...... In 1990, no-one died,..... In 1991, no-one died.... In 1992 no-one died.... In 1993, someone died...... In 1994 no-one died... In 1995, no-one died...... In 1996 no-one died..... In 1997 there was an incident with a pigeon..... In 1998, no-one died...... In 1999 no-one died........ I could go on.
