  • Can anyone here do a Rubik's Cube? I have been trying for 30 years now. Tips would be appreciated, online tutorials make no sense to me!

  • Sorry WaS, had you asked 30 years ago I would have been able to help. I could finish one in about 90 seconds on average back then. Forgotten everything now though!

    Sorry Was, I've never known. My brain doesn't work that way. I always had more fun messing it up.

    I used to be able to manage two sides, couldn't even do that now.

    I never could complete a Rubik's Cube. I did learn how to dismantle and reassemble one though :D

    I know the day wouldn't go so slowly if I actually did some of the huge amount of work that's piling up..... but motivation is at an all time low.
  • I posted a few days ago that I'm going to watch snooker on Friday, and I was (unusually) super organised and bought a train ticket from Bristol Parkway to central Cardiff with an open return (£12 and I'd pay more than that for the bridge and parking if I drove), thinking I could just get the next train after the evening session finishes as it's a main line so they're bound to be running until late.

    Err, no, they aren't. Checked the timetables and the last train is at half past nine. That's hopeless. And useless. :( I remember why I almost never use public transport! :mad:

    Ono - that's rubbish about the trains. I hate that trains finish up so early. Is there another way to get home or will you have to leave super early?

    I know what you mean about motivation tea. I have done some work today but now I'm fighting with myself to do some more, cause I did something and that should be enough!

    In good news I finally got a job offer so now a bit more waiting for all the checks and then I can resign.

    Tiny food penguin I had to go to the post office to return some forms and I also went to the supermarket for a few things. I was also going to buy junk food and have a mini binge(stress eating, ya know). I walked down the crisps and chocolate aisle and I decided I didn't want any of it and walked away. I did buy flour though because ww put me in the mood to make cakes. So proud of myself for not buying and eating food I didn't want or need!! Sounds like such a stupid thing to say, but sometimes I buy stuff and eat it, just because. end penguin.

    Definitely impressive code (job offer and food-wise). I very much failed on that point yesterday and force fed myself doughnuts that I didn't even want.

    Got to say, I very slightly regret it now.
