Says on the tickets young padowan,thinks it mite b 2 X 500ml bottles of soft drink,can remember it strictly said no alcohol. Update mr's just handed me the tix, item 4, DRINKS IN GLASS OR CANS OVER 500ML ARE ALSO NOT PERMITTED.

item 5 YOU MAY HOWEVER BRING DRINKS IN PLASTIC OR PAPER CONTAINERS UNDER 500ML AS WELL AS FOOD FOR PERSONAL CONSUMPTION.

Betchya its a fiver a pint too,looks llke we'd better get pissed in the audley beforehand!!!

Yes, a risky strategy that......

Limelight, Ormeau ave. Belfast, Steve and friends head up to see Mondays and Shamen, decide, "fook the bar prices, get as much in as poss". We buy way too much carry out (booze not food), and begin tipping it in.

Under normal circumstanes, we'd have been let in at 9, and the remaining booze stashed for apres gig. but this aint normal

it's

Mondays

22:30....I feel a kick in the ribs and hear a voice say "what exactly is that down their?" and my friend saying "it's ok, he's a joy division fan" (presumably referring to my having retreated inside my TARDIS-like JD coat to enjoy the fully glories of the whitey I was undergoing ( and of course to prevent said Whitey turning into a greenie). As the doors openned, the truth hit me, I was not going in, and if I tried, my mates weren't getting in either, and I had to about face and sprint stumble thru unfamilliar bits of belfast en route for the last train.

You just can't preload yourself like a race driver does with water.....if only there were some reliable method to control booze absorption....you could drink 29 pints at lunch time and not need any more til at least 9 0'clock (whether that's am/pm 2day/2morrow is down to where you;re from :) )

I NEVER get banjaxed before a gig, I'm terrified I'll not remember every single tiny nuance of.......shit yeah.....it's NO yer going to see......hit the absynthe :)

Sneak it in inside me tummies .

Yes, the secret to this one is concealment.

Provided one can absorb a large amount pre-gig at a place where the drink is much cheaper (bearing in mind Mayfair is right next door to Hyde Park and is not known for its cheap boozers), and then make it appear to the security staff that you are not totally blootered, all could be well.

Pushing your luck i.e trying to bring in a large amount of intoxicants might be asking for trouble as these buggers know just what they're looking for.

God loves a tryer though...
