probably my favourite album ever
and definitely my "if you only had one album on a desert island" choice!

Up there for me too. Definitely now my fave Beatles album after two decades of it being Revolver and Sgt Pepper in my teens & twenties. Will it be Abbey Road in my seventies?

The salty dog will die a death. Folk go there for their few beers going to the main arena. Many will bypass it now. For me its an integral part of the festival. This has disaster all over it

I don't see that at all. Still a cool spot with great music. Bar there now too. I get the whole can thing but I'm not the only one who battles out there regularly from the main arena without a can to my name because they have great stuff on and I love the site. It'll be different but it'll still thrive.

It may actually get more people. I've skipped gigs at the SD and OVs due to the hassle with the security gates. Now it's a quick hop from the main arena. And as before I think the change was more due to health & safety than greed. The checkpoint was chaotic at times last year.

If anyone has a BYEco ID they are not using I would be mighty appreciative of it. PM me away. Never registered this year but have come across last minute tickets.

Jaysus lads I never checked on here last night and now all this talk of tee shirts and punk! Yis have really lit my mojo again.

T Shirts - I'll have me white Clash shirt (not tee shirt), Smiths There is a light, Glasto tee, Yellow Clash and some shape of Ramones maybe. And a hat! always a hat:-) so it should ve easy to avoid me :-)

Saw lots of different incarnations of SLF over the years- love em to bits. Current drummer Steve Grantley possibly the best they've had. Heard breakout from IM back in school and was like what the f is that?

Thanks for the shout on Silverbacks. Hope to see yis for a non canned or canned drink on Friday

Thundercats Ho

I'll have a black Whipping Boy T-Shirt, a red Smith's T-Shirt, a khaki Bloc Party T-Shirt, a black Doors T-Shirt, and a few more besides.

You know we're getting close when T-shirts are being discussed..

Now you see, you can't buy that. No CV in the world will give you a better impression of someone than someone wearing a Whipping Boy tee shirt.

The job is yours my friend.

To be fair, it sounded like lyrics from Blur...

Not at the moment anyways, will probably get some down there but prefer to have some beforehand.

Going to see Jerry Fish, The Frank & Walters, and The Stunning tomorrow. Training for the real thing.

With a spot of matchmaking between sets? Good luck on both fronts.

A drought this time of the year. Not ideal

Can someone give me an opinion on the Pink Moon camping please?

I have a two man tent booked, but I've never camped at the Pink Moon before- I bought the ticket off a guy I know, he gave me the login credentials but I can't change the name- is this important? Would they check ID or whatever? He also sent me the confirmation email so I had the booking number too.

Anyway...is it worth the €330 overall?

Is the tent totally empty, or is there a bed provided? Also, there was a mention of phone charging...is this wired to the tent, or is it in a stall where I'd have to wait for a free socket?

I presume the wait for the showers would be as bad as the regular camping area.

I won't even make the Friday night now so I will probably sell it for cost price if I get an offer.

Sorry for the noob questions

I might rent it off you friday night if you want...yea facilities are fine and you rent a materess off them. Showers are cheating just bring plenty of baby wipes...it's a world away from the normal camping.
