- Unfortunate problems and the subsequent venue change caused Saturday to be a nightmare logistically. I know the competitors found it hard, but trust me, the organisers were finding it harder! Still
100 times better than having no comp right?
- I was excited to see Billy play darts
- He beat me. By some large margin
- But I'm either occasionally very lucky or have a hidden talent for it. Consecutive treble 20s ftw!
- I pwned at table football and I'm not ashamed to say it
- Alex was across the aisle from me on the train back home. Didn't even know he was going to be on the same train.
- I hated my 5x5 for a week before the comp
- It had turned into a really good cube when I got it out the box at the venue
- On one solve I popped an x and a + centre on OLL. I tried to finish the solve without repairing. Succeeded apart from one more x centre pop during the PLL. Had to put that one back because it was a different colour :/
- Nevins 5bld mean of 3. Wut
- Ollie still has no NRs. I'm starting to disbelieve it myself.
- Morten gets 7s in the UK. None in last 195 solves outside the UK. 3 in the 30 he's done in the UK.
- Cyprus NRs ftw!
- 20 chicken nuggets with 4 pots of BBQ sauce is a tasty dinner
- I didn't correctly predict Chris' megaminx this time
- Rob almost managed to hit my predictions instead though
- Joey was once again the master of awkward questions
- 'Fewest Moves is the best exam ever'. I can't remember who said that when we were about to start but it is so true.
- Comp needs moar Thay

Ok, so here's my DYKs
-Friday meet isn't as good as UKO because of people being late and not as many people as UKO.
-Went home earlier on friday night from McDonald due to that I'm ill and needed more rest, got lost.
-Did not do any decent practice since this year, literally no bigbld and mbld attempts at all, just did few 3bld during break.
-Turn out I failed my 3bld hard but did well in all other bld events
-My first 4bld attempt was 5:57 dnf with two flipped wings.
-My home PB for 4BLD is 6:01 set last October/November.
-I tend to break my home PB in competition without any particular reason, maybe because lots of own kind.
-Break home pb for 4bld, 5bld and mbld.
-I'm glad I left early on saturday night too because the others came back around 3 or 4am.
-Never expecting to get another two success for 5bld after the first one.
-Saturday venue is so.....
-Schedule was very hectic, few people got cut off from 4x4 final due to lack of judge or scramble.
-Finally break my official 2x2 average which I've been failing since last June.
-Organisers took my stackmat timer on Saturday, which I found it on Sunday.
-Failed 4x4 and 5x5.
-mbld was very very tiring, when is done officially.
-could be due to out of practice
-I wasn't expecting to get more than 4points in mbld.
-I thought I did one of the cube wrongly which makes me get a 6/8 but turn out it was right. :tu
-mbld event is like a tragic with all them unsolved cubes, it pains me.
-Ollie still not got a 5bld success...
-just like UKO, I'm the only one with 5bld success, wth.
-I feel sorry for Ollie with the dnfs on bigbld and mbld.
-Billy is a very good judge.
-the cumulative +2 thing make judging kids/junior cubers tricky.
-didn't order my pizza on Sunday and was not aware of it. Argh.
-was having high expectation of getting medals during ceremony so I can take a pic with the medals and change my facebook dp.
-turn out there isn't medals, gutted. :s
-was a very enjoyable comp, excluding the sub 6minutes 4bld fail, the back pain from train.
-venue was quite cold, find it more difficult to warm up here than in Edinburgh.
-didn't know I'm the first ever to have 'official' mean of 3 for 5bld until somebody mention it, feel unusually proud.
-I think I'm motivated to work towards AsR or NR for bigbld and mbld.
-my 3x3 still suck.
-running up and down the lecture hall a lot of times.
