It took us longer to walk to the car than to drive to Dublin!!! We (MYOB, Greeks, & non-nool-from-NI-called Kenny - top bloke he is, hope he joins nool) got in around 1 & went to Frasers on O'connellst - it was meant to be open till 2 & the Viking's hotel was only 100 yards away from it. BUT: 1) they didnt get there till 1.45 & 2) it shut at 1.30 :banghead: :angry: So we finished our second round (& got Ness in for 1 'caus she was sober till then) & taxied to SlapperFace. I believe they closed at 3 - we were probably out of it by 3.30 - not sure of that part 'caus I was 'out of it' before then :beer: :evil4: I know I didnt get to bed till 5.30, after chatting to the Greeks for a while at their place & stuff. What I do remember was that it was a great night, after a great gig. Vivid memories of the girls putting down quite a few guys who were hitting on them - that was fun to watch :rofl:

I'd love to give a full account, but even sober my memory is the pits :nuts: :scratch: Also, how come I'm average height when the rest of you guys are so effin tall :confused2:

12 Jul 2005, 12:19

And I was back in Maynooth at 2:29 all on my own due to having the option of Dublin Bus or a 60 quid taxi :cry:

Met the English Order for a few minutes at Oxegen, as well as Clockwork C; was at Oxegen with the Greeks and CuanaD and Kenny for most of the day.

                 I shot JR!!!!!!!

Pic of the bouncer reminds me - Hooky dancing above(technically straddling would be more accurate :evil4: ) the other bouncer - who was bobbing along to the track with a happy smile on his face - until Hooky bent down & rubbed his head

12 Jul 2005, 17:13

man the concert was soooo good, i sprinted from my tent when i realised the time, made itthere and thoughtthere wasnt too big a crowd, after they started i looked back and the crowd was HUGE, wished they played ceremony but i still hope they are back next year

12 Jul 2005, 20:10

Any news article about the gig? Didn't find anything...

13 Jul 2005, 02:19

that bouncer was a complete thug

Yeah that bouncer had a serious case of small guy syndrome alright. He took his job waaay too seriously. During Doves, 3 guys behind me tried to drag him into the crowd for a kicking.

And to top it all he has a squeaky voice too: "Get down! Get Doooown! Get Down or I'm coming out there!" (To some girl up on shoulders of bloke).

Jonathan.

P.S. Wish I had a better camera now. There was a (French I think) couple next to me who had a really good camera - would like to see those pics.

13 Jul 2005, 03:04

Yes they were all a little bit gung-ho alright. I was on a young chappy's shoulders for part of Blue Monday and one lovely bouncer came charging through the crowd to ask me to get down.

I pretended I didn't hear him so he then resorted to an attempt at some persuasive humour - "yes love, I know, this is your favourite song but you really have to get down now" - to which I replied "actually 'love', it's my least favourite song and I was planning on doing this for YSF which they inevitably would have played had you fuckers not shut them down one song early.

t a really enjoyable day. I think got a little dehydrated during the gig, and am still suffering.

Just re-reading the thread & saw this comment - you wouldn't have been dehydrated if you had DRANK some of that water the bouncers kept handing you, instead of throwing it over all of us :rofl: :spit:

:viking:

13 Jul 2005, 05:21

Well, it's back to the greek reality for us lot...

I see there's not much left to say about the gig, except I came, I saw and loved every f@#$ing minute of it :nod: - which should keep me going for a while (at least till we can get some proper vacation, beach house and all). It was great putting names and faces to nicks and avatars - hopefully we'll meet again at a future gig

Martha got some great pics and a short video which she'll be uploading soon - it's about time for her first post (isn't it, ef? ;) )

Conrad, a BIG thank you - though somehow that seems too little - for everything!!! And btw, all that water throwing Clockwork C did was really really refreshing for the rest of us :laugh:

Glad you guys gad a ball, really Glad Cuanna and the boys rolled out a proper boghopper welcome for yous all. Not at all surpised by the rampant noncery of some of the mainlander vokings sneaking off to bed tut tut tut.

I am FURIOUS with myself, I was so wrapped up in bloody Silvertone all weekend I forgot BOTH gigs. I suppose Oxegen was on 2fm live as well. Bollox Bollox BOLLOX!!!!.

links to boots appreciated. Does anyopne know how much NO is on the Beeb's T coverage? ( there's four hours worth of day one (NO were day one right?) on UKN, but I'm buggered if i'm gonna DL it to hear BM)

I assume, having only scan read the rest of the thread, that "I hate JR" is a referrence to the bouncers by way of that nice chap on craggy island that says "FETHER OI KILT A MAN"

Hello everybody! Here goes my first post! The gig was absolutely fabulous!!! Bernard was in a great mood, Hooky was great (as always!), Steve was just excellent! :clap: :clap: I'm thrilled that I got the chance to see them live. I've seen a couple of live NO DVDs, but it was nothing compared to what I experienced there! It was perfect, everyone should have been there! What amazed me the most and made me appreciate NO more was the fact that, even though they have tones of songs to play at their gigs, they perform "best hits" songs, so that even if sb is not a fan, he/she can get in the mood. This is the perfect proof that NO respect their audience! I met some of the neworderonline members, but I'm terrible with names... I got to talk to Ness, DoN and MYOB a bit more after the gig at the pub (I loved you, guys! ), but CuanaD was excellent (thanx for everything, Conrad!!!) :bow2: I'm miserable about leaving Ireland and coming back to my greek reality, but, hopefully, I'll get over it!

PS. Sorry, Conrad, that "Greek Order" had a drink (ok, it was more than "a" drink) without you, but you are thousands of miles away!:\ohwell:

Now I can say, welcome to the site Martha :love: - its about time you stopped lurking & started posting;)

All these nice things everybody is saying about me :blush:

14 Jul 2005, 03:47

Oh good god the Oxegen gig was so good. I knew going that NEW ORDER would be the highlight of the weekend but still it took me by the hair - it honestly did. I couldn't get over how good they were. I think I even starting crying while simulatiously singing at the top of my voice. Bizarre Love Triangle!!!!! The crowd beside us were brilliant too. Its what I love about NEW ORDER gigs - surrounded by people that take it so bloody serious and yet run amuc when they hear the best band in the world. Singing, smiling and jumping. Listening to Tempation now and I wish I was there again.

What a end NO were to a great festival. HOOKY was to dogs bollox!! He sure knows how to move around. I think I even enjoyed it better than the MOVE Festival. DOVES & NEW ORDER BACK TO BACK AGAIN...........Oh Happy days.........lets wish for more!! :)

Hiya Martha,

It was indeed a fantastic gig and you have described it very well on your first post!

Great laugh in the pub after the gig, i think we was all still on a high after the performance and I know I could have stayed up drinking all night!! oh im sorry if i went on about your accent all night but is such an unusual mix that I found it very cool! :shades:

14 Jul 2005, 13:48

I think you all owe me a Thank You for not goingThey were only brilliant cos I wasn't there. If I'd come it would have been awful and ther HD player woulda failed and the bass woulda caught fire and and and. It's the Campbell curse, it's strong at the minute.

Also, anyone who's ever been to a gig with me will tell you that I am MISTER stress. Won't do anything at all that stands a one in a billion chance of stopping me seeing the band. No drink or drugs even. That lasts until the intro music for $BAND plays, by which time moost people ar convinved I am thworst party pooper on Earth. Then I explode and turn into an uncontrollable ball of incadescent energy, which typically lasts many hours after everyone has gone to bed, and often for days. I can out party a beer tap when I'm like that.

Anyway, I'm glad you all lkied it *mumble grumble huff*

Don't worry about it! It was funny watching you trying to figure out my accent! :crazy: Next time I'll try to change it a little bit just to confuse you! ;)
