Lild were selling some last week for around 45, surely someone on here bought one

Tesco are doing 12 packs of Carlsberg for €17 euro. Two of them is in and around the cheapest you'll find I reckon, save for going for super cheap p**s.

Who has the sneaky ways of getting cans past security my go to Pringles can didn't fare well last year!

Simply enter wearing a blatant can of beer costume, cunningly filled with actual cans of beer gaffer-taped to the inside of costume. Downside is it limits your dance moves once you get inside.

That Argos trolley is actually alright, add a couple of bungee cords from Dealz and it does the business.

Be careful wearing that costume, you might end up on "White Trash in Trouble"!

Is anyone else completely disorganised, not packed and has to work today and tomorrow?

Sitting at my desk (neither use nor ornament), reading all your plans and am starting to stress a bit..

I have my ticket.
I have camping gear in the attic.
I have a husband to get into the attic.
I borrowed a waterproof, fleece lined regatta jacket of my friend last night.
I'll be passing Tesco/ an off license on the way to Stradbally.
I've downloaded the app and checked a few acts I want to see.

be grand, right?

be grand always. I don't think I've ever not packed for a festival the night before. It doesn't take long.

I'll be naked, dirty, hungry and drunk in a field in Stradbally for 3 days?.

I havent even had time to buy my Indian feather head dress FFS!! <coddin

I think I really may get my arse in gear tonight.
This is shocking - but I didnt fully unpack from last year yet so I'm assuming (hoping!) the majority of **** I need is still in my EP bag. I knew being a lazy bastard would do me well one day..

Thats actually made me feel quite smug about how great I am now!!

I'd really love to see Jenny green etc, think it would be really cool, if she was on in the afternoon brilliant but clashing with Todd she can forget it!!

greg090 · 31-08-2016 03:01PM

im bringing vodka into campsite, whats my limit?

maximoose · 31-08-2016 03:02PM

Just keep it in plastic and you'll be fine.

Don't think I've ever seen limits enforced at any festival.

when you start trying to dry hump the tent pole, that's probably it right there.

I wont lie - if you're a first timer, maybe scan through a list and check things off. I had a lot of bits and pieces I needed to get my first time round. (torches/ batteries/ camping equipment etc). I'm presuming I'll be grand as I have a lot of stuff lying around the house - just need to pack it.
I'd hate you to land there and have forgotten something really important - do you have a list?

I have a husband with a list! We're in Pink Moon so no need to bring or pitch a tent. I think we have the boring necessities, im thinking more along the lines of things that will make 3 days in a field a bit more pleasant?.
