I got 24 cans of Heineken for €29.99 in supervalue a few weeks back. €1.25 a can for Heineken is very good.

It was Bavaria, I know it's not the best of stuff but I think it's grand! Best of the cheaper beers I think. For €26 you can't go wrong.

Ye, Bavaria isn't the worst.. i just hate people who drink Dutch Gold... i know it's cheap, but surely you should enjoy your drink at the same time, not gulp it down whislt trying not to cringe.

Yeah it's fairly horrible stuff alright.


Annoyed I missed that Heineken offer!

I got 8 cans of Miller (Which is actually NICE) for €13 in Tesco today?
Like, for beer that's actually nice, thought that was pretty good.

Carolanne2x4

i was at oxegen 3 years running , just kinda got fed up of being mugged and drowned in ****e, but was good at the time!! Hope ye all have fun though

JC 2K3

Miller is awful. In fact, all American beer is utter crap. Easy to drink, but not enjoyable.

I think Bavaria is very good, personally.

Anybody familiar with a drink called Galahad?

Carolanne2x4

Oxegen,ew, cant believe im going

Carolanne2x4

Bit of advice( from experience of course)
DO NOT BRING TUBORG TO OXEGEN.
I was never so sick after it , and I can drink with the best of them. If you actually look at it in a glass(as opposed to drinking out of the tin) it looks like bright yellow piss, and also tastes like it, not that i have ever tasted piss.
Cheapest and most drinkable option is bavaria, or stella. But dont bring crates of drink with ya yer will die carrying them down to the campsite. What we did was get the boxes of wine and a bottle of jager and vodka and few shot glasses!! get one or two pints in the arena so u wont look liek a skanger and VOILÁ , Best weekend of yer lifes! so far, Mine was AC/DC last weekend, ROCK ON PUNCHESTOWN!!!!

The very same... Its alright for 87c a can but it makes bits of your stomach.

bythewoods

Just be sure to actually buy cans, as opposed to bottles.

The amount of people who buy bottles and have them confiscated is mighty altoghether I'd imagine:P

bythewoods

Also, Miller is lovely!

See, I'm only a girl... so... I can't hack, y'know, the.. manly beers.
I usually just stick with the oul' Coors Light/ Bud Lite... but Miller/ Corona are also... nice and easy. Just the way I like 'em.

On an aside, I'm having a freak attack currently as regards Oxegen.
Earlier in the year (The week of my French Oral, conveniently enough) I fell rather ill... I am now presenting the same symptoms yet again. If I go to the Doctor, he'll send me to hospital. Probably for a few days. Thus, I will miss Oxegen.
If I do not go to the Doctor, I can go to Oxegen. I'll be in considerable pain and, well, it'd be stupid, but I'd be at Oxegen.
Naturally, I'm picking Option B.

JC 2K3

I'd go with your health over Oxegen tbh...

brazilicious

Is it life threatening??

if youre probably gonna die, go to the doc...

if youre not... go to Oxegen...

loads of paramedics up there anyway if ya come close...ya can always leave early if youre on the way out!

Carolanne2x4

then again, u could go out in a worse way then dying at oxegen, Rock out til the end!!

TheCardHolder

What's the story with the bus going from parnell square? will there be much of a queue for the buses? How long do you think people will have to wait before they get on a bus? Also can you drink on the bus?:P

K4t

Go to the doctor ffs. It's just an overrated, overpriced music festival. There'll be plenty more opportunities in the future.

Oh and a bit of advice for anybody thinking of buying galahad. Don't.

I think I'll go with Castlemain. 1 euro a can from supervalue and not a bad taste compared to other cheap beers.

WoollyRedHat

Anybody know any cheap offers for Bud?

Depends on how early you get up to parnell sq(west by the way JUST IN CASE :P)
Depends if the bus driver is a **** or not but in my experience they usually couldnt be bothered stopping people once there not creating a disturbance or wrecking the bus.
we were waiting 4 hours to get there one year and were fairly hammered when we realised we had to walk 3 miles to the venue due to a water logged car park,the buses had nowhere to go!
So bear that in mind if the weather is ****ty! Enjoy

I'm sure the security guards have some party when its over with all the drink they've confiscated!

And bythewoods....get that checked out, but seeing as its entirely your choice, if you do go to oxegen, tell your friends whats wrong so they can tell paramedics etc if its needed

I agree about the lineup, that's why i'm not going either. Since when does a rock festival allow any **** artist to perform in it. It makes no sense. They really have hyped it up this year too. I guess they have to that really.

I got a gorgeous (read: hideous) rain poncho in the €2 shop today. It's enormous! It looks bigger than my tent :pac:

Also got an awesome straw cowboy hat in there. getting booze, toilet paper and a chair tomorrow.

Fad

Bought wellies and hand sanitizer.

Was going to buy some cans, but meh.....

I'll get 'em tomorrow, have to buy bus tickets too. GRRRRR.

Absolutely shattered today somehow, did barely anything!

Jay P

Tesco: 15 cans of Carlsberg Export, €15, 5%. Job!

I just saw the weather. Its looking sh111111t!

WolfForager

Hand sanitzer! Damnit! Suppose the wipes will have to do...

I haven't got any beer yet, however was in tesco a few hours ago and they're doing 15 cans of carlsberg export for 15 euro. Not too shabby! I'll head back down tomorrow and pick up 30 maybe.

I would take 45 but how hard would it be to get that to the campsite? I'm getting dropped off btw.
