newballsplease

just a thread for reminders of what you saw that was pretty random that gave you a bit of a giggle!!

il start with one or two, im sure theres plenty more but anyway.....

The Comedy tent: Colin Murphy just gets up on stage, some guy roars up at him 'HARP IS SH**E!'

Some guy going through the main area peddaling a piano and playing a tune at the same time!

fits

People sliding/falling down the muddy bank in body and soul on Sunday night, and then deciding it was so much fun that they kept at it. I had many laughs watching them

I saw a guy with an entire flag pieced through his earlboe. It wasn't a minature flag either. The pole was at least half an inch thick and three foot high. He had a huge metal circle pierced into his earlobe. Horrendous.

i stumbed upon a tiny venue called Time Machine late Sunday night... there was this guy who was the head off Vince Vaughn singing with two hot birds in bikinis either side of him with a dj on the side... was anyone at it.... the singer was the most ignorant c**t ive ever seen in my life... his genre was acid punk as he kept shouting every 2 seconds. he asked this girl at the front of his gig for a drink, grabs the drink, spits in it, and hands it back... complete w@nker, but absolutely hilarious....
was anyone at this or know what their names are? mad to youtube him just to laugh my @ss off again!

I told a girl who gave me a drink of her rotten whiskey that it tasted as cheap as she looked.

Cue lots of nitrous fuelled fits of giggles followed by her trying to get her laughing boyfriend to do something and her balling her eyes out at Tir na gCasta on Saturday night....

That was my landmark for finding my tent. Very handy - cut across at the 'over there' sign and there was our area. Worked every time.

About 2 o'clock on Sunday there was a huge gust of wind through the Hendrix campsite and one of those little Dunnes Stores drummer tents got whipped straight up about twenty foot in the air and hurled about 300 metres across the campsite. Very funny for us drinking beers outside our properly secured tents, not so funny for the poor soul who would wander back later and find their tent had vanished.

The same bunch of bananas at a urinal.

The look on a gardai's face when unexpectedly surrounded by a herd of sumo ballerinas looking for a photo with him.

A girl trying to explain on mobile, to friend, that no she really did mean she wanted to meet her beside the big tree covered in cd's.

In the Oxjam tent there was some great craic in the wee hours regarding a cowbell which culminated in someone telling the singer/songwriter/guitarist, who was trying his best, to "play something more cowbell friendly" to which he replied "there's no such thing" only to have someone grab the cowbell and perform a perfect rendition of the theme tune to the cricket.

The people who seemed determined to carry their sofa everywhere, mind you it did look comfy.

the strangest thing i saw was on friday, as i was walking in through gate 7 with my wheelbarrow: -

There was a guy with a 6 pack of dutch gold in one hand and a head of celery in the other!!!!!


i am dying to know what he was going to do with the celery.

The other was the two dublin guys who rocked up beside our tent at 2am friday night/satruday morning. having no idea whatsoever how to put their tent up. so being the mood of the weekend myself and Des said we would help them.

Cue them standing around watching and as it was almost done, them saying err.......do you mind finishing it off when we go looking for girls. they headed off and we finished putting their tent up for them.

catch--22

Anyone catch the village volunteer fire department giving a live demonstration on how to rescue a cat from up a tree sometime on the Saturday? Hilarious!

Was trying out the sideshows when that was going on. Womans voice annoyed me, therefore I went and did something else.

Best (handmade) teeshirt slogan of the weekend:

'I went to see MBV and all I got was this lousy deafness'

Made me smile. Well done whoever.

Did anybody see Osama's Kitchen? It was kinda beside us in Hendrix. Meal of the day was the Jihad special. Kebeb, chips, and a coke for €9.11. I have a pic of me standing at it, don't know how to upload it though. Showed it to my housemate, and he reckons I sent it to Fox News. I don't want to do that, just upload it here.

1) A big guy walked outa the electric arena, this other guy walkin towards him said "Hey mate your shoe lace is undone". Big guy replied "Yeh I know - will you tie it for me please". He did. Big guy walked on. Legend.
2) I was wearin a superman t-shirt. This random girl runs up to me "I got something to show you". At that she pulls up her skirt to reveal a pair of superman knickers......Snap

Did anybody see a bloke wandering around wearing nothing but a bit of cloth that was taped around manhood? His whole body and I mean even his arse was fully covered in tatoo's. It must have been painfull to get all those tat's

What was that human jukebox? Some English girls dragged me there, but it wasnt on/nobody there when we got there. Sounded like it was fun though.

8am Saturday morning in the Oscar Wilde Campsite. The one bit of silence all weekend and some guy shouts " A child has more bones than an adult does"

Funny

there was plenty of knickers showing on the wonkey betting bike.
Some random dancing guy recruiting people to dance with him. Saw him at about 12, sat night, on his own and then an hour later he had about 20 people dancing with him.

some aul hag trying to get the attention of guy from elbow..that wasn't funny but her dancing was..like fu*king the air..thrusting

Willie white in the comedy tent " I'm either an Irish porn star or an albino penis"

The chair outside the oxjam tent! WTF!!!

Toast

It had a few lads inside that half caravan thing doing bad covers of whatever songs you selected from the front. Very funny but think it was only on at random times.

macgowan

Anyone else see a group of people running around shouting about the recession??

Recession Awareness Group, apparently.

That was him alright, fair balls to him!

Did anyone see the guy with the wonky bike?...he had a circle made out of rope and if you cycled the bike from one end of the circle to the other, he gave you €25. The catch was though, that when you turn the handlebars left, the front wheel went right and vice-versa, it was hilarious! Everyone thought they'd be able for it, but obviously the guy on the bike was the only 1 who could do it!

I'd say he cleaned up as he was charging €5 a pop! It was great to watch!
