    I too have a list like a roll of toilet paper at work, but I've been on the doss all week... probably for the best as I'm just a liability at the moment. Roll on 4pm tomorrow. Championship haircut, few pints and bed early.

    Can't remember the last time I was as happy as when I hit "log off" on the work PC today.

    Bu-bye job. Hello Picnic :cool:

    I have only seen them the once .. in the EA(?) tent a couple of years back .. My mind was utterly blown... her voice is absolutely amazing live. Everyone was pretty much stunned by the beautiful sounds in that tent. Was up there with one of the best gigs I have ever been to.

    You've convinced me Pablo. Thanks for the passionate endorsement man.

    Friday poor musically for me but that means a chance to check out artists I'm not fully impressed by & hope to be converted. LG fit that bill nicely.

    Latest GFS run has the heavy rains arriving earlier on Saturday now, about 9pm. Sunday is a bit dryer as a result, but thats a massive disappointment.

    What's the probability that it will be dry compared to it will rain do you think

    Picked up a slab there earlier too! Cracking deal, considering 8 cans are going for €14.

    The ideal would be hitch a lift with someone leaving ep early on Sunday morning back to Dublin.

    Maybe if they hung around the car park and asked ppl as they were leaving if they were going Dublin direction.

    It's a bit unlikely though given that it will be early Sunday morning, the place will be like the land of the living dead.

    Next best option would be taxi to port Laois and either train or bus to Dublin. I suspect the taxi would have to be pre booked for early Sunday morning.

    Also picked up the 24 cans for 28 in O'Briens. The lad who served me said they have been flying out.

    Really excited for my first picnic!
