    what a load of poo. Turned up really early to see it, couldn't get a glimpse in because of all the shagging crowd and went home about half 12 because I got bored of only being able to see the backs of thousands of heads. Just goes to show how badly a crowd can be organised...

    Should have been a ticket only job with only a certain number of free tickets. I didn't think anything could top the crap which is the paddys day parade. The organisers should be bloody ashamed of themselves.

    I walked along Patricks Street at about 15:50 on the way to work. Patricks Hill looked like it had a carpet of people on it. Looked very red and much too crowded for anyone to be able to see a thing. I suppose the only way to get a clear view was to look out from a window in one of the buildings along the street.
    Does anyone know if someone died? It is a steep hill remember!

    yeah but they didn't even start from the top... the starting line was half way down the bloody hill! Waste of perfectly good tarmac.

    I caught the last few mins of RTEs coverage yesterday afternoon - it looked lame enough.
