Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99..If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it

Jaysus Adverts and Toutless are gone crackers with people looking for tickets.

Obviously a lot of people leaving it to the last minute to buy and got burned.

Got mine off of toutless but its an e-ticket so I hope to **** its real.

Just to be nerdy, pretty sure alcohol actually cools you down and that ''beer jacket'' stuff isn't true! :P

Your natural reaction to being cold is to restrict blood flow to the skin of the arms/legs to keep your core body and head warm. Booze stops that happening so yeh you'll feel warmer but your body will be losing more heat than it wants to. I've had it at festivals that around about 4/5am I'll suddenly wake up shivering like crazy thanks to this. If you've a good jumper on though after the sun goes down you'll be grand... just don't lose it or your mother will be so so angry.

You can get cheap "B-Active" in Tesco for about €2.50 and they're the same thing. They can only help with the hangover!

Any help at all is appreciated

Yeah it's mad, good few people looking for them on EP's fb page too. So it went from what 10k tickets unsold last year to completely sold out this year? Mad!

Maybe I'm being a little Naive but in the past we just bought some in the booth down there near the entrance. I have two myself but I'm just wondering will that be the case this time round.

Etizolam is the only job for hangovers.

Or a can for breakfast, dodgy territory there though!

last year on the Sunday morning the classy ladies in the tent beside us shared paté and crackers with us for breakfast, all washed down with lashings of merlot...every morning it was an alcoholic beverage for breakfast...this year I am bringing dioralyte and I plan to take it with lots of water during the day..it can only help compared to last years debacle

one of the claims: "Can help alleviate symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, flatulence and diarrhoea"

However I read one of the side effects could be diarrhoea too, imagine :eek:
Folks, maybe take a few early next week as a trial run, you don't want the trots at EP now.

Lads Diorolyte is the only man for the job. Berroca wont work on an industrial strength hangover

Rewind83

Activated Charcoal
I buy them in either the pharmacy or holland and barretts (or some other health food shop) for a pack of about 60 of em its approximately 9 euro

Take a few in the afternoon, a few before you start drinking properly and a few the next morning with a good bit of water an presto-your back to your old self

You can do a 10k run. All you is donate 210euro and do a 10k run (max an hour) and you get your three day camping ticket.

I would add this to your list:

Chair - for sitting purposes
Antibacterial hand gel - you do not want the trots at the picnic
DIOROLYTE - Cannot stress this enough
Bin Bags
Dry shampoo - if you're a fella, this will bring the ladies flocking to your tent
Torch - unless you want to break an ankle falling over a tent peg at 4 in the morning when you are wankered
Pringles - good way to make friends with the neighbours, sure its nice to be nice

TBH, that is the sole reason I bring pringles!

Also, the hot water bottle....when it's cold at night and you have a warm hot water bottle, this also brings ladies flocking to your tent.

beansybeansy

behind the counter in the chemist. about €4 for 6 sachets. I recommend the blackcurrent flavour. easier to get down you. I be clinging to a cup of that like a life raft each morning, rocking backwards muttering "never again"

Where do you get the hot water? chances of me finding somewhere to give me water at 5am when Im coming back from the Woods off my trolley sounds slim

I'm confused by that - says ''What if I cannot raise any money for charity this year?

You can still take part, you will need to pay €210 for your ticket and cycle costs or just pay us €60 and get your ticket elsewhere.'' Do they mean running instead of cycle?

So someone could get a ticket for 210e and not have to cycle/run? :S Presume they get the tickets from EP for free?

Dioralyte is a must. Rehydrates really quick. Then the only symptom you have left is vomiting!

Well the catering vans usually charge for it, but if you pop up to any of them, and start chatting to a member of the opposite sex, I'm sure they'd appreciate the company when theyre bored out of their tree. Chances are, they'll give it to you for free.

Akin to 'Picnic time', everyone discovers they have a certain amount of 'festival charm'.

I find it very hard to believe that telling ladies you've brought a hot water bottle to a festival will have them flocking to your tent...

Just got some decent looking Karrimor camping pillows for €3 on sportsdirect. Just the booze to pick up now then I'm all set

You don't go around telling people you have a hot water bottle. That's ridiculous. It's subtly brought up in conversation when youre making your move to get her in your tent....

Tucker688

Your still have to run the 10k to get the ticket after you pay the 210

Tell me about it; used to wake up at shivering in my tent at Indie. My solution is thermals! Sounds great in theory but the practice of getting changed into them after I come back to the tent half cut is another thing. Needless to say though that Plan A to counter the coldness thing will be to have a member of the opposite sex in my sleeping bag huddling together for warmth... :pac:
