1. Despite what I have thought in the past, I can actually get sunburn!

2. Jager and red bull is not a valid substitute for a bowl of corn flakes, but it makes for an interesting morning

3. Carling, when ice cold, isnt as bad as I once thought

4. Chips Onions and Curry Sauce is the best drunken munch ever

5. My Tartan all over poncho is the best ice breaker into covnersations with randoms, jealous of how warm I am

6. There is always time to watch the Cuban Brothers

7. Guys from Wigan cannot handle their vodka tongue.gif

8. 2 hour "Power naps" never work out that way....bastard sad.gif

9. Pure Oxygen is the most pointless thing ever

10. Despite popular belief, peeing when wasted, can be done!

1. Macaroni and cheese in small bowls is decptively filling

2. I *can* make it back to my tent after a ridiculous amount of whiskey. I just can't remember how...

3. You can never find a midget when you're looking for one

4. Few people own leprechaun outfits

5. Pimms and lemonade tastes like juice

6. Chips and curry sauce taste nicer in a field than they do from my local chippy

7. Spending a weekend in a tent with mostly people I've never met before can be MUCH more fun than camping out with folk I know. Like that hoor I had to share with at T in the Park last year.

8. Valium and earplugs. Are a godsend on Sunday night.

9. When lying in the gorgeous sun all day, turning over is a good idea...

*Pimms = awesome

*People (that I didn't want to bump into) can still recognise me with my massive sunglasses on

*over the counter medication on top of other stuff is a bad idea

*the I love sausage flag was indeed too big to steal

*an eye mask and some earplugs were essential for that whole 2 hours sleep I got over the weekend

*pitching your tent on a hill must be done a certain way

*'When at Rockness' is not an excuse for doing absolutely anything and everything
