Charging up two old nokia phones that are pretty crap but the battery will last. Smart phone won't last a day I reckon!

I have a Nokia that only needs charging once a week (no colour screen or anything) and now I have 2 batteries for my smart phone so should be fine. Just worried about losing the smart phone now

My worry is that it will get wet. Have brought some zip lock sandwich bags with me to keep my tech safe and dry (even in my pockets).

You guys are full of good ideas! I'm definitely doing this. Can't afford to get my phone wet. I'd be lost and lonely all weekend

Any hardware store.. Texaco at the spawell is doing a big huge sheet of it for cheap with a refill of petrol.. Easily got and waterproof!!

hardCopy · 31-08-2011 2:53pm

Will the car park be open on Sunday night after the arena closes?

I presume this is an option but I couldn't see anything on the website and have never had to leave early before.

I'm a bit worried about my tent now, I had to get a new one this year and this will be my first time using it. Has anyone ever used this Pro Action tent in the rain and if so how did it hold up? It's got a double skin so I'm hoping it will be ok. Might wrap my stuff in binbags when it's raining just to be on the safe side.

The memories of my tent leaking on the Sunday night last year and me having no dry clothes are still strong.

Also, are the times out yet for thisispopbaby?

Picked a sheet up from Kingston Hardware off Baggot street. €11. Excellent

Reviews of tent below seem fairly decent.

Anyone know where we'd get something like this only a little bigger, want to put 2 tents under one. Argos have this for just under €50

the pitch is more important than the tent quality anyway.

Pitch it well.. not too tight and peg the outer skin away from the inner one and you'll be grand.

and if you're going to use a groundsheet, make sure none of the groundsheet pokes out beyond your flysheet.
Pokey out groundsheet will collect water and bring it under your tent creating a puddle for you to lie in.

If rain is forecast - those popup tents with no flysheet aren't meant to be the best for dealing with rain - I'd advise buying another tent before friday..... (sorry)...

Curve Music · 31-08-2011 3:42pm

Aldi were doing tarpaulin last week for €8. Might still have some in some stores.

Bah ha I got the same one only it's a 4 man. Judging by the name it's top notch - "pro action". Deadly.
