Based on nothing but idle speculation I wonder if there will be fistfights around Dublin tonight involving loud mouth drunken Trump fans

And should I get the train now or later?

There's something there about working with the best logistical people etc.

He might be able to charm some marketing people, again, but I doubt anyone who's job is -being sensible- is going to go in for that.

Unless money is no object and they‘re some kind of of weird masochists who want to say they were there (of which there are probably many)?

I was in Dingle last week with the in-laws, and we watched a bit of the Rose of Tralee on the tv in search of Eurovision-y style laughs

There were none. It was exactly as I remembered from the 80s

all the food 'acts' at a lot of modern festivals, I just don't get it tbh, what kinda weirdo goes to a music festival and goes to watch some geezer cooking dinner or whatever the hell it is they do the you could be watching Iggy pop or whoever

p.s. I'm not a 'foodie' so that might explain my confusion at food exhibitors and the whole notion of 'celebrity chefs'

I don’t even go to the cooking demonstrations at Bloom, the thoughts of going to them at a music festival is anathema to me. But festivals aren’t for people like me any more. They are for people to go and keep spending money, not standing around listening to music.

I'd demonstrate how to eat a whole pizza on my own at a festival, and then have another one 30 mins later. For the experience like
