Here in the office we are all super excited over our new restaurant in Dublin. It’s our second ever restaurant in the Irish City and to celebrate we have managed to get our wings on 2 pairs of tickets for Electric Picnic . . . For those of you not in the know it is Ireland’s most talked about Music and Arts Festival and we have tickets for the whole event, so make sure you leave the 3rd to the 5th of September wide open in your diary! and if you want more info, check it out here . . http://www.electricpicnic.ie/
As if the tickets weren’t enough we also have two pairs of exclusive passes to the Bacardi B-Live VIP Arena. In Bacardi’s brand new arena you will be given top VIP treatment, Bacardi have their strongest line up to date and their B-Live bartenders will also be on hand to serve up Ireland’s festival favourite- the Bacardi Mojito, The Original!
Now being the generous folk that we are, instead of passing these amazing tickets around the office (sorry guys!) we have decided to give you, our PERi-tastic blog-followers a chance to cut some shapes (that’s right, cut some shapes!) with some of the biggest acts around. Electric Picnic is a festival is kind of special, you get to live in a forest for the weekend and absorb great tunes, comedy acts and much much more. With acts such as Leftfield, Massive Attack, LCD Sound system, Mumford & Sons, Roxy Music and Two Door Cinema Club to name but a few taking to the stage, this is a can’t be missed event.
To be in with a chance of winning a weekend of music, laughs and festival filled fun on the Emerald Isle, post a little Limerick here, just a couple of lines as to why you MUST to win these tickets!!! The one that makes us cry with laughter is the winner
Electric Picnic for me,
Is when it’s hard to go for a wee,
There’s massive queues for the loos,
After I have had too much booze,
That’s why I want to go VIP!
If Nando’s could do this for me
Then I’d be as happy as Glee
I’d be VIP – might even get to see see,
Nando’s fans BO’D and Amy
Piri-Piri is the best sauce to lick,
Especially when at the Picnic,
If I get my way I’ll be there more than a day,
And for Nando’s a big hip hip hurray
Limericks are dirty tricks because you know we have to rhyme them
But step inside into my mind and its never hard to find them
I can rhyme a rhyme like all the time, talk of chicken to pass the time
make up lyrics all the time…but i’d rather just eat a’ Nandos!
Oh, and win a pair of tickets to the Electic Picnic….
(For my friend Fiona…)
There once was a girl called Fi
Who loved Nando’s chicken Peri Peri
But she spent her Electric Picnic cash
On fresh chicken and creamy mash
So please give her two tickets to EP
I want to be a festival VIP
And drink mojitos made just for me
So for Nando’s I’m writing a limerick
To win two tickets for Electric Picnic
And for the love of chicken Peri Peri
There once was a girl called Isabel
who had a wonderful sense of smell
she could sniff out a nando’s
in a couple of secondo’s
She really was a Nando’s Jezebel!
Electric Picnic won’t be the same without me
First of all nobody will be there to dance with a tree
My ugly stepsisters wouldn’t let me got to the ball
I’ll lose my shoe and pick up a bride at a stall
So don’t make me cry and give me a ticket for free!
I’d love to go to County Laois,
If only just to be let off my leash.
I’d mix with the Celebs in the VIP,
and I’d sleep with the plebs in my teepee.
Headliner for the picnic is Massive Attack,
If Nando’s get me to see them I’d have some craic.
Another headliner for the picnic is Roxy Music,
Don’t make drink all weekend in my local listening to poxy music.
I can’t tell you how great it would be,
For VIP tickets for my boyfriend an me,
You see I’ve bought a festival thong,
For a wee jiggle and a sing song,
So please don’t waste it as my bum will not be happy!
We’d mix with the stars,Around the Bacardi B Live bars,
And sing and dance,
With some Nandos Peri Peri!
The Picnic would be a loss without I
Like many blackbirds ruining a pie
For im game for a dance
Granted half the chance
By our wonderful friends at Nando’s
BOOM
Young Lisa had no ticket to party,
So instead she tried to get arty,
Now she hopes she’ll get there,
On a chicken wing and a prayer,
If she wins, she’ll be ever so smarty.
There was a young man with no ticket,
who really wanted to get to EP and kick it,
So he ate a Nando’s platter,
Thought a lot about the matter,
And entered a competition hoping he could lick it!
Please give me tickets to EP this year,
for the last few days I´ve been hit with the fear,
that all of the guiness, vodka and beer,
will be drank by all but me jamie Meir,
The festival´s great for taking a date,
if you want to have fun and go to bed late,
but watch out for mud and slush and all that,
i know I´ll be taking a coat and a hat!
There is a great restaurent called Nandos
where I downed way too many Mojitos
While a little unsteady I ate Peri Peri
and entered a Limerick saying’here goes’
The Electric Picnic is the place for me
And now that I’ve spent all my money with ye
I know its my fault but I’ll just have to miss it
That is unless Nandos can come up with a ticket?
Electrical Picnic Shock,
Oh you make my heart stop.
If my nightmares come true,
I dont pee in a portaloo,
Electrical Picnic Shock,
I need to feel that pop.
The excitement, the roar,
the people aint no snore.
Electrical Picnic Shock,
On my list you are the top.
I need two tickets to fulfill my dream?
Will i holla? will i scream?
Electrical Picnic Shock,
My heart goes tick tock.
My wellies wait by the door,
screaming for more.
Electrical Picnic Shock,
You rock my socks!
