    as reggie said, large music festival, mainstage held mainly in arena that is a mixture of a cauoldon/furnace. mad spot, just puke and piss everywhere. absolute hellhole unless you arrive pissed. once is enough to go

    You caught it on a bad year so;)

    I was there 2 years ago,no puke or piss anywhere,180,000 people going nuts alright though :D

    Best managed and policed festival I've ever been to,its not like your Irish festival where everyone gets pissed up and spends the day bolloxed in a corner puking their guts up.

    If you get a chance to go Greengrass then do it! Tickets sell out in seconds worldwide,but you wont regret it.:)

    It was good though at the start was only supposed to be beer and then lads started trying to show how hard they are.

    no different to any of the other drinking games over the years, just more visible. No worse than pints of "fat frogs" or racing each other with lines of tequila slammers.

    Agreed, plenty friends of mine (both mature and immature :p) have done the neknomination, and with beer in fairness its largely harmless. Substituting the beer for a straight pint of a spirit is obviously incredibly dangerous and stupid, and it's this carefree attitude to spirits that is the real problem.

    Social networking has a part to play. It has upped the stakes for lads that want to show off. I'm not even 30 and I don't remember doing anything half as crazy as I see youths at today.

    The problem is the reach of the social networks. So these idiots with 400 friends on Facebook can show off to them all at once. Then another idiot likes it and in an instant it's even exposed to 1000 impressionable kids. Within 15 minutes it could be seen by a few thousand. When these crazes go viral they reach maybe half a million impressionable youngsters in a day.

    That's a huge difference to when we were young. Back then a few lads would get together for these stunts. Then it might be a week or a month before you all got together drinking again and it may have been forgotten.

    Social media is great. But it is a huge source of social pressure.

    Lol no, I don't read Darragh to be honest, just not much of interest from him for me rather than not liking him or anything.

    Twas by Darragh now that I looked.

    There's also a team of EU auditors on the way here next month regarding overclaims on SFP and DAS.

    He also talks about what a lot of people are thinking

    "The notion that the guy with entitlements worth €750 per ha was twice as productive as they guy with entitlements of €350".

    In a lot of cases the lower entitlement holder was twice as productive because he had to be in order to survive!

    Department was expecting that, hence the clampdown on overclaims.
    Its a case of the auditors being audited

    Yes, there were two lads from the admin side of the mapping dept. at the Galway co exec meeting Monday before last, was a very useful exercise. They had laptops with them and sorted out problems for farmers in the lobby. It would be worth while looking at getting them to do regular clinics out of office, particularly in the more distant counties where travelling isn't really an option for a lot of farmers.

    funny i've been trying for about two months to get through to the mayo sfp office to get an overlap sorted out but no answer or voice mail, yet they have time to go to a meeting of private organisation!

    That's a permanent condition in Reiligs position, we should hook him up to an engine and make a contribution to the national grid ;)

    Looking at the double posts and timings earlier, posting on here with a phone is very unreliable.
