#Festivals: Pet Peeves Of A Festival Grump
JOHN LEECH GIVES US A RUN DOWN OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT PISS HIM OFF AT IRELAND’S LARGER BOUTIQUE FESTIVALS LIKE THE ELECTRIC PICNIC.

I am the Minister for Constipation, I shit you not, so put that steering wheel on a haemorrhoid and call me a pile driver.
rabble Boomtown Banter Battle Entries!
A wee while ago rabble teamed up with Boomtown, the UK’s maddest festival for a very unique competition. We basically got all you eejits to do enter a wee essay competition about your maddest festival buzzes. The winner got themselves two tickets to the festival. Versions of the stories were used in a roll-the-dice, rabble board game that took pride of place as our centre spread in rabble #4. Thanks to all who took part. And a special thanks to Dara Lynch and Thomas McCarty who broke their balls to sort out the centre fold.

[Housing] Rack Rent.
Here in the Rabble Bunker we almost feel sorry for the government as it flops around like a hooked fish on the end of an IMF rod. With a kind of reverse Midas touch effect everything they touch seems to turn to shit. A fine example being their attempt at reducing the state’s burden in supporting around half of all rented accommodation through the Rent Allowance Scheme.
