      Time to get F5ing toutless.
      Be strange enough for someone to buy them and sell them at cost price immediately on toutless? If youngest them now you'll have to pay the big money otherwise toutless closer the time

        People looking for arguments are always going to find them imo. Is that the summation of it though?
        Think it's a bit lazy and arguing for the sake of arguing tbh. The reality is that there's a limited amount of active touring acts that are fronted by or feature women, particularly in rock music.

        While there's undoubtedly a huge bias in such a male dominated industry, I don't really buy that a festival booker is excluding acts based on gender. They need to book acts that they feel are viable ticket sellers and the reality is that the bulk of female acts that sell tickets are in the pop arena (taylor swift was the biggest or close to the biggest selling music act last year but wouldn't fit on the Reading lineup which has traditionally been a heavier rock festival, a genre dominated by men). When acts that can sell tickets pop up for summer festivals, they're booked e.g. warpaint and bjork last year, patti smith is headlining a show at kilmainham in the summer and some or all of these will likley appear at Electric Picnic - Babes in Toyland, Belle and Sebastian(confirmed), Jungle, Sleater Kinney, Soak, Tori amos. Think it's a little naive to think that festivals are going to stick on token female acts just because of their gender when there simply isn't that many female rock or dance acts that are capable of selling large volumes of tickets. That's not the fault of the festivals as there's not many that won't showcase up and coming female acts if they're there to be booked. Think it's harsh to single out festivals when the reality is that the music industry as a whole is gender biased on genre lines.

          Ireland m8.

          Aslan could headline Slane and sell out in a hour.

          It wouldn't have anything to do with Aslan.

                    Pub I worked in they would do an hour for a tenner or so. Maybe 15. Packed everytime . They were the Kings of those gigs for couple of decades I think.

                    Tried to sell out Tallaght stadium a while back and failed though, that was with quality support for their anniversary if my memory is right. Cancelled due to poor sales. That was a surprise.

                                I think I would like Ed Sheeran if I wasn't overwhelmed by the urge to steal his lunch money.

                                              Youngest daughter uses my spotify and some dire shit comes up because of that but most of the tracks that have popped up from her playlists that don't get immediately rejected are from Ed.

                                                          Yes but that was before the 'music for people who don't like music' brigade hitched their clueless tails to the bandwagon.

I had heard of it but somehow managed to avoid knowing it had been such a massive Oscars success or what it was about. I was blown away by it, amazing film imo.

                                                                                              Just watched this on the bus on the way to Dublin. Somehow missed any mention of it before. I thought it was a great watch. Not blown away by the ending but one of the better films I've seen this year.

                                                                                                I see that Electric Ireland will charge me 50 quid for leaving them within a contract (very tempted to tell them to fuck right off on that one). So would still be +50 quid I suppose.
                                                                                                I've sent Bord Gais an email to ask them if they are likely to extend this €100 offer beyond it's current April deadline, I highly doubt to get any sort of answer that is useful back from them.


                                                                                                I might make a list of stuff I have done in the last 48 hours to avoid doing what I ought to be doing:
                                                                                                • Attempted reorganising drawers that are chock full of stuff, no need to do it at the moment and really made little progress.
                                                                                                • Looked into switching Gas and Electric providers, despite that I am 'mid contract'. Why the fuck you need contracts for gas and electric, with all their stupid pricing options and discounts, it's akin to trying to work out what pizza deal is your best option.
                                                                                                • Extensive research into who invented the fizzy cola bottle - I still can't find out. It's Britain's favorite sweet too.
                                                                                                • Tried in vain to help MSN fix her curry
                                                                                                • BBV'd MSN's curry
                                                                                                • Helped organise a one minute silence in honour of said ruined curry.

Id say I am using too much stock maybe better off using all passata. I have natural yogurt which I used last time was still fairly watery then though too.
