We just got a box of them in Dunnes yesterday. Mighty job. Cheers to whoever it was that tipped us off to trick. Still got a load of freezerbags too though, for pissbag purposes.

Draw in the semi final today could see a few tickets pop up on toutless.

You're obsessed with piss bags!! Do you really hate Phil Cauley that much??

But seriously piss bags for in the tent or in crowd? Tent would be messy, you could end up pissing everywhere!! What if you accidentally stood or sat on one?

Should be, but it may change with the extra capacity this year. I'd imaging the fun fair will be removed from Hendrix to free up tent space? Possibly an extra camping field somewhere?

Fark off rain!!

Dr. Bre

at least that's today

Tent. If it's lashing rain in the middle of the night/early morning and you're busting for a slash, the pissbag is the greatest thing ever. There's a risk of disaster but if you can maintain your balance and composure while squatting in the tent with your cock or fanny in the mouth of a rapidly filling plastic bag as the steam billows up into your face, you'll be grand.

It helps if you have a tent with a good big enclosed porch. You just have to store it away from tent edges where there's a risk of random drunken outsiders treading on your tent, and just bring it away to the fence or toilet in the morning to empty it and dispose of it in a bin.

Or save them to peg at Phil Cawley's fat head.

"I'd like to nominate Phil Cawley for the pissbag challenge..."

Oh i'm saving mine for someone special!!!

Let's just say that if Stuart Clark, Hot Press is there, he'll be soon known as Stuart Clark, Hot P*ss!

Anybody any experience of Quiet Camping there?
Have been in Family Camping 4-5 times with three kids. Trying to exchange weekend tickets for family camping at the moment with no response from EP, was thinking of quiet camping area if we couldn't exchange as Jimi Hendrix with the kids doesn't appeal to me having been in JH a few times myself.

Hey Tree Scape,
Sent you a PM there regarding swapping family tickets for general camping
Thanks,
Eoin

Want to get into family camping but you don't have a child? Just tell them you're pregnant! If they say that doesn't count well then just get pro lifers on the case and they'll have you swanning around the family campsite in no time!

*if you're a man this may not work unless some cunning cross dressing is involved

I find this site to be very accurate, it doesn't tell you allot in terms of temp, but its generated from the same computers/data meteorologists use.

Obviously bars close together and any sort of colour over Ireland is bad/rain/wind:mad:, no iso bars near us = good.:)

there's 2 family camp sites this year according to Ticketmaster, so i'd imagine there'll be a little bit of change, although can't imagine the stages/main campsites will be much different.

wouldn't be surprised if the campervan site was moved and that space was used as extra general campsite, like it used to be when it was the Chaplin campsite:

Lads is Oscar Wilde the mad place beside salty dog? And is jimmy the one be side the Ferris wheel???

Trying to figure out what cans of beer to pick up for this. Anyone got any hot tips on nice canned beer apart from the usual pish, the selection of canned beers in Irish off licenses is generally fairly poor. Are any of the Lidl/ Aldi beers worth trying?

Been down the Offy there and limited to the likes of Zywiec, Karpackie, Tyskie, Lech (in addition to the usual Carlsberg's etc.). Lech or Tyskie is looking like the best of a bad bunch at the minute.

Didn't experience it first hand but allot saying they felt the family areas were neglected last year, is this a revamp?
Not allot of scope to change the main arena, surely the camper vans couldn't be pushed any further away?

Carlsberg is a good all rounder, cheap, not too bad room temp and leaves a relatively clear head! I find Heineken to be the roughest of the lot!! serious banging head the next day, even say after drinking 3-4 cans at home, banging!!:( never mind full EP lash!!
