Originally posted by shortstack View PostSlummed it in the main camping area with MrPillowTalk, Gholimoli and some non poker playing friends. Was my second time there and camping facilities definitely better than most places. Might consider the VIP hotel next time - how long was the coach trip? Any craic to be had back at the hotel?
Pearl Jam and Robert Plant were my two favourite sets also. Was my first time seeing Metallica even though been a fan from the beginning, this might of made it seem better to me for nostalgia reasons. They only matched Pearl Jam on their big tracks whereas Pearl Jam were consistently amazing throughout. Royal Blood were my top "new act". Artic Monkeys phoned it in and Black Keys were a little disappointing but it was hammering it down during their set. Kings Of Leon also put in a good show, better than the last time I saw them there.
The clash with Pixies was annoying. As was the fact you could only get one type of beer, coke and water at most of the regular bars. We found a wine bar & jack daniels/mojito bar but too far from stages to use while watching acts.
Still a great festival - probably only going to bettered by the one we are running in a few weeks
In retrospect the hotel part of the package is only equal to VIP terrace access in terms of the value I'd place on them, I can't overstate how much that was worth to us in terms of comfort and enjoyment. It was just to the left of the main stage, immediately behind the big red radio station building, so from sitting in a deckchair with a cocktail in your hands you could be in the pit within a few minutes, no messing
Yeah, was a bit disappointed with the Black Keys, as I'm a fan. Some of the earlier acts were great, had never heard of Reignwolf or The Temperance Movement before but really enjoyed both.
To help me remember who I saw in years to come, I might as well get a list together - saw full sets for the following:
Dropkick Murphys, Bombay Bicycle Club, Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters, Metallica, The Strypes, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Eels, The Temperance Movement, Kodaline, Haim, Biffy Clyro, The Black Keys, Pearl Jam, Angus and Julia Stone, Foals and Kings of Leon.
Caught some of the set for:
Placebo, London Grammer, The 1975, George Ezra, Jack Johnson, Paolo Nutini, Arctic Monkeys, Reignwolf, Babyshambles, Birdy and Lykke Li.
Missed a good few I would have liked to have seen, but was too tired/inconvenienced for a few - that's my age showing obviously! Had definitely planned to see Interpol on the last night but was a bit muddy after the rainfall so we took the lazy option of staying in the terrace.
Thought I saw MrPillowTalk in the airport on the way home, but didn't see yourself or Gholi at all. Where are ye going next?

I personally have always had a soft spot for Ardmore.
- You have so many beaches in the area to explore.
- Youghal is under 10 minutes away and Dungarvan 20 minutes. The two towns have fantastic restaurants that suit all budgets.
- You could easily take a trip to Fota Island (35 mins) or Cobh
- Youghal has a pretty decent Swimming pool that suits kids if the weather is shit
I know the area pretty well and if it is of any interest to you I can probably give you a guide on how good/bad a location is if you see a house that is of interest. It would be about 1h 30/45 from Portlaoise. You would exit the M8 at Cahir and take a scenic drive over the Vee and Lismore if you wanted.Pm for rakeback deals

8mm is very light your link showed 3/8 which would be closer to 1/2 inch which is a good bit heavier.

Poor Dunnes Stores.
I see The Roisin Dubh were doing a Semi-Final promo last night similar to Hatedajacks one. Every German goal scored & Erdinger dropped by 50c a Pint (Started at €4). Wonder what would have happened if Germany scored an eight? Nine and they might have paid you to drinkLast edited by Dice75; 09-07-14, 12:57.

Pretty ironic, but it looks like he will actually "survive" so I guess that's ok.

Already half thinking about going again in 2015 Will defo do a hotel package again if so, too old to go without some comforts for a full weekend!
Was it a premium number? Their current tour is by request, the ticket holders vote online free for what songs they want; surprising to see them try and milk it like that.

Not much craic back in the hotel, due to to everyone being shattered at the end of the night, was very nice to pull the blackout blinds, hit a comfortable bed and get up to a big breakfast each morning though!

Thought I saw MrPillowTalk in the airport on the way home, but didn't see yourself or Gholi at all. Where are ye going next?
We were queuing for wristbands when Dropkick Murphy's started but could hear it ok and saw the second half of their set. One of my favourite bands and going to see them tonight in Bristol. I live in UK now which is why I wasn't in airport - I drove over. Gholi flew in from Iran and went to Malta straight from gig
Temperance Movement are good but we didn't get there early enough the day they were playing, same for Reignwolf.
The 1975, White Lies, Kodaline and Biffy Clyro I wouldn't have much time for when they come on the radio but enjoyed them all live. Wasn't impress by Rodrigo y Gabriela on the Glastonbury coverage but they were great in the flesh. Damon Albarn was good to chill out to, we just sat outside the tent for that one.
Festivals I tend to find the best experience is away from the front as the show is set up to be taken in as a whole and the atmosphere is still great - plus the bar is in easy reach I thought Metallica's stage show was the best by a mile. At an indoor gig I would usually be somewhere near the front.
Next festival will be the one I am organising in August. Completely different vibe and just slightly smaller at an official 500 capacity but got 35 great acts playing a variety of genres - Ska, Celtic Punk, Folk, Comedy, Scrumpy & Western and Reggae. www.outciderfestival.co.uk If any IPB'ers want to come over then I'll stick you on the guest list.

I know one of them will want to bet so would the following be fair
Give them 30 shots over 12 holes and they cant go any more than +3 on any hole? The money will be very small but it is more so to keep the thing some bit competitive throughout.

A lot of places will cut it to the length you need without having to buy a whole roll.
1/2 pipe probably a little heavy for what you want and 10mm will give you a larger surface area and quicker cooling than 8mm.
You can then get a couple of 10mm to 1/2 inch fittings to suit your hose.
Some shops have only coated flexible copper but that can be easily stripped.
(You should try growing your own copper)
