    Nah, even the extra for the pit ticket was a no brainer. Suspect that getting to Manchester last year is going to turn out to be less hassle than getting back from Slane.

          I'm in super serious Level 11 procrastination mode, absolute deadline of a week ago has whooshed past and I'm stuck looking at pressing play on something horrible that once I let it out into the wild is inevitably going to blow up.

            I don't know really. Bonds are always the smarter money, and the cost of insuring that debt is incredibly high, + their puts are outrageous. Rest of the market is treating the company like it's busto. Probably be one last fraud/PR pump and then a quick trip to El Busto.

              Get Dublin bus from parnell sq. They drop off and collect at the same place in slane. Have used it twice for slane and no hassle either time. Once we stayed in Drumcondra and bus driver stopped to let us off on the way back into town.

                My two bros and I also going to that Slane gig, have sprung for the Gold Circle pit tickets. Think we'll rent a camper van and stay there that night, not going to try to get back to Dublin/Galway on the night itself.

                Only other Slane gig I was at was REM in 1995, just the 24 year gap...

                    I don't think they expect much from him in that place anyway.

                        I went to slane every year for a long time.
                        Highlight was Moby and Bryan Adams, I dunno who came up with that mixture
                        The thoughts of doing it now feels me with dread.

                          Moby played with U2 if I remember . Did my lovely horse with Doughal ? Didn't notice a Bryan Adams. Drop the B from Bryan and there you have a great artist. Been to about 10 Slane gigs . Paid for 3.

                            Yeah I went last minute, mate couldn't go, I'm not a big fan or anything haven't really listened to them since the first album, but I thought they were great, not much new stuff, was hoping for a bit more out of the encore. We were sitting, standing looked intense.

                              Went once to Oasis ten years ago and said I'd never go back. Think Metallica is just about the only act that would get me there (and maybe Dua Lipa)

                                      I still haven't looked up what puts are, the word itself sounds so silly that I'm enjoying it.

                                      That's the only Slane gig I've ever been too, 2003 I think? I remember thinking man that was an amazing concert, I never want to come back here again. I had buckfast for the first time there, it was luckily mixed with coke and was quite good somehow.

                                      It was also 2 days or so after I saw Metallica for the first time, my first gig ever. Think the support was Linkin Park and the Darkness? Was at the RDS and was amazing. They only dared to play one song off St Anger, the title track.

                                      Then the next year was Metallica with Lost Prophets (meh) and Slipknot, who were awesome.


                                      Used to be in my day you'd turn up early to get in the pit at a gig, now it costs €60.

                                        puts and calls = (right to) sell or buy something, in this case Tesla stock

                                        Then bonds can be puttable or callable. Which is similar but different.

                                        And, if you're Denny, you probably speak Algo, which is a finely-tuned dialect of gibberish, used to make it seem as though you know what the trading programs are actually doing. Nobody actually knows except the mysterious Russian guy who wrote the code. And he isn't talking.

                                            Just boarded a Ryanair with a toddler and a 1 year old.

                                            I would honestly suggest that negotiating them through an Afghani mine field would have been less stressful.

                                                To alleviate stress I just pretend to myself I'm bringing two monkeys to a new zoo . That mindset change makes it easier to contend with the mayhem.

                                                      Haven't been back to Slane since Dylan in '84

                                                      Some friends ran a burger stall at Queen in '86 only two products burgers and chips.
                                                      Their sign read:

                                                      Burger and Chips £3
                                                      Burger £1.50
                                                      Chips £1.30


                                                      IIRC they moved some 8000 burgers and had just two people in the entire day pull them up looking for their 20p back

                                                          I was at that
                                                          Linkin Park got the piss pint treatment from the older black tee shirt "proper" rockers.
                                                          The Darkness went over surprisingly well by a mostly bemused crowd.

Nobody actually knows except the mysterious Russian guy who wrote the code. And he isn't talking.

                                                                                        This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
