Weeler for leading a group of us out onto the motorway to luxembourg at 5.00 in the mornign with the assurances that he knew where the gaff was.

The most punk points ever award:
That belgium bloke who looked as far from being a punk as is possible that I accosted just as he was going into his house beside the luxembourg motorway who somehow decided he would give these irish completely lost drunk and stoned punks a lift in his BMW all the way to their door at five o clock in the morning--top man whoever the fuck he was.

The Beautiful South Rotterdam 7 inch "this could be liverpool or rome, dublin is everywhere, everywhere I roam" Award:
To the GANG of irish punks to be seen falling around th ecity of liege, these days you'd be afraid to go on your honeymoon in Benidorm for fear that half od dublin will be having a session in the bridal suite shower

The challenging the stereotypes of the irish as thick drunks while abroad award:

(eh, its seven byrnos, anyone know when the other lads from cheapskate are getting back?).

2. Teresa for " vous etes irish , you are wearing green??"
(note to get the full effect you need to imagine her to be on a train before we even got to the festival and be screaming VERY LOUDLY at two old belgian pensioners after two bottles of buckfast before breakfast. vote no, europe doesn't deserve to put up with that kind of shit, eh kids?)

The "if you done it at the warzone festival she'd kill you but it's a very different story when she's at your festival, so it is" award:
Leslie for having to have the toilet door in the aforementioned all night bar broken down so as she could be forcefully removed from a drunken sleep on the jacks.

The " i have heard the old punks tell their famous stories of being in hospital at sessions abroad, i must do this also as a step to being a punk celebrity" award:
Derenzy for supposedly having his arm broke in the pit.

the it sounded good for a while award:
travelling round to all different festicals in europe all year round in vans til i heard them discussing who was goign to go and beg for diesel. oh and that crusy shouting " i can go anywhere, italy germany, france, just give me a lift was a bit of an advertisement for owning old scooters with no passenger helmets.

the your having me on, thats funny shit award:
the friendly man we met int he street who was going to bring us to his brothers greek restaurant for free food until he finally understood our attempts at saying" nous somme vegetarian" boy did he laugh at that one.
