Hello There.

This is a kind of "what would you do" thread I suppose.

Recently I started a thread which got quite a few helpful replies about a patterns competition I was scheduled to participate in.
This eventually rolled around today, didn't do too well as it turned out, came 4th in a group of four and got the "wooden spoon" trophy.

Anyway, this quite possibly would have happened anyway as it was my first anything competition and nervousness in front of a live audience was definitely a factor.

About two thirds of the way through I couldn't help but notice one of the other four was shaking his head and smirking and I later found out from someone else that he had mouthed "Total bollocks" or something similar in the general direction of the audience.

That was about eight hours ago and I still think that contributed, even in only a small way, to distracting me.

I was just wondering what the rest of you would do in my place.

Adam.
