    We'll be there all day, the day after Electric Picnic as our train home isn't til 8pm that night. If anyone could give us tips on how to pass a day there, I'd be very grateful!

    You could go bowling if ya liked. Just say 'take me to your roll n' bowl' to any taxi driver, it's only a fiver away and it has a nifty arcade with some house of the dead action upstairs and crazy golf out the back.

    Or, you could go drink in Delaneys as someone said. It's a fairly clinical pub though. Try the Sally Gardens right beside it. Both are a 3 minute walk from the train station.

    Otherwise you have the cinema only 1 minute away - they'll probably be showing Snakes on a Plane around 5ish if you feel like having a good laugh at some intentional badness.

    There's really funk all to do but drink though when it all comes down to it. I'll also be at Leccy Picnic but have the extra 'bonus' of living here so I'm not so shocked when I return to mediocrity. Ah well, do what ya gotta do.
