I see the cereal cafe will be there this year. That'll be grand for the hangover. And the munchies

Question is are they going to sell bowls for around €4-€5 like they do in London. Althoughits getting there, things are no way near shoreditch levels of b*ll**** here yet.

probably a bit more considering it's festival prices, i would probably pay €5 for this when i'm in the horrors on sunday morning though!

I want to hate the cereal cafe but I just cannot disagree with that logic. I'll probably be in the line behind you downing some paracetamol.

Does someone do a full Irish down there?

There was a cafe in the pink moon site last year which did a full irish for a tenner.

probably not the answer you were looking for...

in the wood cabin near the Pink Moon route they do full Irish, I had it there one year and it wasn't great to be honest.

might just go for that one too. might be a bit big for just me. would be cool to have a tiny little single person one though

There's 10% off all items reserved before 2pm as well apparently.

I'm very happy with that 4 man tunnel tent!

i can see some funny incidents as people stagger back to their tents at 5 am only to realise there's about 30 identical tents in front of them

while looking for a nice hip flask for the picnic, I came across this little gem, hilarious really.

I'm going to go with an 8Oz traditional hip flask, fits a bit more than the 'camera' and should be grand for sneaking in.

Is there a day by day breakdown yet for the line up?

I have this! It's grand- holds about 140ml. I actually brought it to EP last year and DROPPED it at security- guy picks it up and hands it to me and I get through. It's pure plastic but so many people get fooled :pac:

frozenfrozen

hold a can in each hand when you're going through security, they never search your hands

That's worked for me and my mates a few times. Once when we had a flaggon of cider.
Narrow cone of vision maybe.

Theres another version in the format of binoculars, last year one bloke went through security, with a jumbo pair of binoculars round his neck, millitary style and then unscrewed each "lens" and was knocking back the vodka, brilliant!!!!

scruff monkey

Surprised there's no colostomy bag version with a stick on "input" hole. You'd only be able to put larger or cider in it but hey...

Mate and his girlfriend had two camelbak's emptied on him coming from the campsite last year.

I went in and out from campsite to arena last year with plastic water bottle (of the fitness/exercise variety) with various concoctions mixed in it. I was rarely picked up and only once was I asked , when I had already well passed the check point , to empty it. I was already in , so I said no! and kept walking....they weren't that bothered :-)

exactly, they can't force you to empty it if you are not inside the arena, however you can either polish it off at the security area (not a good idea if it's a load of spirits) or just drop it back to the tent for a future attempt at sneaking it in.
