DYK's:
Organising a comp doesn't seem that hard?
The only reason I got stressed was because I had a massive headache?
Its nice not having to stay in a hotel?
The additional room on the first day was just kind of awkward?..
But the room on the second was really nice?
I can apparently get 50s 4x4 solves?
I can't get times near my home times on megaminx?
Rob is crazy good at 7x7?
All the timer boxes got dumped at my house?
Coghill slept in his car?
People approve of bacon?
Rob can sleep anywhere, and can just fall asleep instantly?
I still don't have a sub-15 Average on 3x3, although I got 2 12's?
FMC results were crazy?
Quite a lot of people actually got BLD sucesses?
Cubecomps makes data entry really really easy?
It was a real shame that some people didn't come?
No-one can scramble Square-1?
Selkie probably did the most scrambles out of anyone?
Joey hates scrambling megaminx?
The chairs were too low for the tables?
Artificial Lighting isn't always a bad thing?
I'm surprised my printer made it through at least half a day, let alone the whole weekend?
And out of ink errors are usually wrong?
I found a really nice solution to one of the 2x2x2 scrambles that no-one else saw?
Queueing?
Thom sounds really different with helium?
Simon was really protective of the balloon?
We only lost 4.5 pens?
I had a great time?

Of all things, getting anywhere with magic was not on my list of things i could achieve, winning it however is a massive shock, only coz rob DNF'ed and coggers got a DNF and a 3s. Bld was a bit slower than normal and the 2/4 mbld was short of what i hoped. OH didn't sub 30 not happy. And chris square-1 scrambling is an art, very few can do it, efficiently anyway, its why i did simons first.

Speedstacking with cubes is hard?
I briefly held the UWR for taking two cubes, one on top of the other, and switching them round (0.38s)?
Chris' parents cooked bacon for us
?
'12...8...16'?
Grrr G perms!!!?
Dan failed bigBLD
?
Yay 5BLD success for Matt!?
Mollerz still doesn't have a 4BLD success?
Spef doesn't like the nickname Spef?
It shouldn't be his nickname because it doesn't end in Z?
I got a 53.xx 4x4 single?
And a 1:45.xx megaminx single?
Both all time PBs?
My camera ran out of battery so I didn't catch either of them on film?
Pops caused me to DNF 4 solves?
Euro cuts for Mollerz?
Selkie has the best cubes?
Dan is able to throw envelopes containing scrambles to the scramblers from a good distance away?
Dan had his own parking cone?
In total, I ate 4 McDonalds' during the weekend?
And had a KFC on the way home?
Nooooooo...?
Chris has a lovely street?
Despite being in Somerset, I didn't see a single tractor on the roads?
Also, does anyone have the scramble for 4x4 final solve 2?

Foot cube OH is fun?
Foot cube with elbows looks difficult?
I came third in pyraminx even though I don't actually have one?
Spef's 7x7 pops a lot?
That 3x3 scramble was really easy?
The hotel I stayed in was always really cold?
The sea goes really far out?
Double chairs are the way to go?

You can win an event even when you've had it only 5 days?
2 callums is too many?
Mollers 4BLD 2nd and 3rd attempt went wrong in the same place?
Foot cube OH destroys your shoulders?
When you've got a good record at foot cube OH ben will half it effortlessly?
Somehow i could only scramble simons square-1 correctly first time?
Forgetting that you've undone a set up move can be devastating?
Because no one got a 4BLD success, it says me mollerz and matt came joint first, why we no gold medal?
Did this just because everyone else is doing it

Though, with relief I am at last officially sub 20 it appears its going to take some time to become sub 30 in head to head?
I think I managed to get Laura hooked on cubing?
I rage quit two megaminx solves?
Rob got a pb on my 5x5 though there was a waiting list for its use in 5x5 final?
I hate scrambling Square 1?
An internal mech pop killed my SS 6x6 in comp though most people missed the earlier pop in practice where an outside centre ended up in an already occupied bra?
CHJ was the first person to point out the huge inefficiency in my MM solves?
I need to learn to check more carefully for cancellations in my FMC solutions?
Again I missed out on the hattrick of being the top placed not to make the cut for the next round, managed it on 2x2 and Square 1 but was beaten to it on 5x5?
Kirjava still has the sexiest looking OH style?
I scramble a lot more accurately than I solve, barring square 1?
Maelstrom was the second organiser in the last two comps to hit a door trying to enter or exit a building?
Dan and Rob need neck braces for medal ceremonies?
At last I have some comp solves on video thanks to Laura, in fact all my solves though the rage quit ones will not be making their way onto YouTube?
It rains a lot in Weston-Super-Mare and where the hell is the sea when the tide goes out?
It was, yet again, great to meet so many other cubers that give justification to my insane hobby?
We enjoyed ourselves so much and already looking forward to UKO12?

So many people not going to a comp makes it less fun?
It was still an awesome weekend?
It was very wet and my feet were wet for most of today?
I suddenly get very fast at 3x3 on Friday, but I still did lots of fail at it in comp?
2 of the same awkward OLL + its mirror + several G perms makes an average really annoying?
1:00.03 4x4 average when going for sub-1 is also annoying?
The same happened for sub-1:30 for 3BLD, but I was actually happy with how the round went?
3:07 on 6x6, 22 secs faster than PB, really improves an average and I somehow got podium?
Even though I use a lolmethod?
Foot cube OH is fun?
Yey for rocking 5BLD, but I epic failed 4BLD?
Everyone else epic failed 4BLD too?
I screwed up multi but still won?
I ironically scrambled almost single-handedly for a round of OH?
Like really, where does the sea go?
I messed up the easiest 4x4 scramble ever because I suck and I was tired?
I fail at megaminx these days?
Kir does some awesome unofficial events?
Like speed box building?
And he even borrowed one of my boxes for it but apparently my hardware isn't any good?
One wing flipped is possible?
I only just remembered what route I had planned for my third 4BLD attempt, and I had to use a different one for it?
Double chairs FTW?
I got a free beer on the flight home when the air hostess saw me cubing?
Think that's everything, but I'm sleepy

Fun weekend, here's my DYK...
Daniel Sheppard official parking cone.
Daniel forgot he actually had to delegate on the first day.
Whisper ceilings on the first day did not help for blindfolded.
DOUBLE CHAIRS!
Venue on the second day was freaking cold.
COGHILL I STILL HATE YOUR CLOCK BURN IT PLEASE.
LolBLD, somehow I still came 3rd in Multi.
Chris failed at counting the moves for his 2x2 single.
Everyone failed at magics.
All NRs set were in finals.
Even though I was shouting both days all day my voice did not suffer at all.
Freaking Sq-1 pops mang.
GO FOR GOLD BALLOON!
Euro cuts in things!
Noooooooo.....!
Cube stacking world records I now hold: Putting one cube on top of the other (0.21), switching around two stacked cubes (0.28).
Speed reading scrambles with various difficulty levels such as mirror inverse.
We all failed magics...
Beer.
Envelope throwing.
Rob Yau waking up at 4am to do a megaminx Average of 50 obivously worked.
Context Coghill!
3 Burger Kings, 1 McDonalds and a Subway is good meals for cubing.
4 Double Parities and 1 PLL Parity first round in 4x4. One OLL Parity in finals.
Selkie bra pop.
I shouldn't film Simon doing Sq1 because apparently he's terrible at it.
Spefdoor.
Coghill sleeping in his car.
I think I mentioned magics...

I spent more time travelling to and from the competition than at the competition itself
I want to thank Simon for putting me up for the night.
I feel sorry for him about the +2 on his 8.44 solve.
I felt crap on the first day. Probably as a result of not having slept since Friday morning.
I had my most inconsistent 3x3 average so far. 29.xx 31.00 and 3 sup-40s
This was my worst average in 4 months
But I did have a single PB.
This was the first time I didn make it to the second round of 3x3 in 4 months.
Rob Yau thought I wanted to lube my Magic
I very briefly had a 1.72 single on a 2x2, making me number 4 of The Netherlands.
That didn't last very long as the mistake was spotted quickly.

Anyone have the second 3x3 scramble from round 1 (the one with the lolf2l on green)?

Doesn't seem like the scrambles in the group 1 or 2 envelopes match your video. The group 3 scrambles are missing. Sorry but you'll have to get Brest to reconstruct
