I had lots of fun. I'm wrecked now. My right arm feels like it's gonna fall off at the elbow.

Heroin or diabetes?
I HAD A GREAT TIME, BUT:
Thought the nanny/police state was completely over the top. GArds Gards everywhere. Random searches of vans, tents, people. I would feel more at ease smoking a joint in front of Finglas Gard station on a saturday afternoon than I did doing the same at a "alternative" music and arts festival.
Also the searching people for cans coming into the place and then closing the bar at 10 was a disaster. As a drinker, wanting to see music, I shouldn't have to smuggle cans in in me jocks, nor should I have to make the hour journey back to my campsite to pick up a couple more, miss the bands I came to see and then hope they don't get my cans off me going into a "alternative" music festival that has stopped serving.
While I'm at it, thank god I can pee standing up. I spent half the weekend waiting in queues for the missus to have a piddle. They know how many people will be at the festival, why weren't there anywhere near enough toilets?
RANT RANT RANT.
I Had a great time though.
The big burning fire was when the rain poured so missing that was a good thing. Underworld were also excellent I thought
Didn't get to actually see Underworld. Heard them though. They sounded great. The rain would make an appearance at the most inappropriate moment of the weekend...
100% in agreement with you here derek, it seems that year after year of going to this they are trying more and more to wipe the smiles off all our faces. it was good fun, but hard work. don't think i'll bother me hole going any more, for 240 euro i got to see feic all acts, mainly due to ferrying cans in and out of the car park/campsite/trouser legs!!!......I HAD A GREAT TIME, BUT:
