At present it looks dry up to about 10am or 11am but too far out to call it with that kind of accuracy yet, this evenings chart will give me a better idea.

any chance you can bring a board down and do an onsite forecast saturday around lunchtime?

Is she driving?

If so, hate to say it but the simplest thing she can do is two trips,
trip 1 - tent/sleeping bag type thing, head in get the wrist band etc...
trip 2 - go back for the heavier items so that she can breeze through the already checked in queue.

Ah sure, no harm having the kiddies there but peg Fuinneog & Sneatcha into bed with their organic treats before dark I say..

Couldn't be arsed taking mine with me, too much of a compromise for everyone.

Sure you'd never have seen that sort of thing at Feile!!!
Actually, no i did see a few fellas absolutely lamped with their kids outside Semple Stadium one year

Is there a B&Q near you?

Have to laugh at the clowns still looking €300 for a ticket on adverts, when there's probably close to 100 unsold tickets at €240 or less.

using the office label maker to make "VODKA!!" stickers for bottles that look like water counts as "working" today, right?

5 of them?

Multiple trips best approach, that way they don't kill themselves doing it all at once.



(seriously, it amazes me each year just how much stuff people bring in for the weekend).

I find my girlfriends handbag is the best option. Won't give her the cash though... asking for trouble!

bd2012

Any vapers here? First time going as a vaper (haven't been since 2010), 30ml dropper bottles allowed into the arena yay or nay?

Very very similar to mine. But you're skipping ABC? They've been doing The Lexicon of Love on their tour, not one to miss. Have a great weekend, have enjoyed your posts.

Best of luck!!!!
