    Empty a roll a toilet paper in the room of your tent and mess your clothes around a bit. When people are robbing tents at night and then look in yours and its a kip they will just move on to the fancier tents.

    Someone I know in Dublin used to be able to set me with a ticket (always a bit more expensive!). Anyways, his answering machine says he’s in Rio. It sounds like an old message. I’ll keep trying unless anyone else has a better idea?!

    It’s very decent of the Electric Picnic organisers to put on an event for people with no hope of ever being in the All Ireland
