This week, and all week, there have been people camped out every night on the steps of the City Hall :o

They have sleeping bags, stoves, deck chairs! :o

Daniel O' Donnell tickets go on sale at the weekend :loopy:

Lets just hope they never got to vote today...

did they not have placards or anything?
(I was going to ask if they were queuing to vote, but Meaks stole my thunder ;) )

I passed a couple earlier posing in their deck chairs for a photographer, holding a Daniel scarf!

Sad attention seekers with nothing better to do.

Come on, it's not like the tickets are all going to sell out on the first day is it?!

Who is Daniel O' Donnell? I've never heard of him!

(redrobbo maybe ought to buy a telly one day?).

Welcome back!

It was always funny on Daniel O'Donnell day seeing the Octogenarians in the Sportsman having a quick bite to eat before the gig, as Slayer are on the jukebox with "Angel Of Death" in the background.

The only times I've seen moshers outnumbered by Steradent.

In answer to redrobbo's question, D o' D is a cutsie Irish crooner who has been wearing offensive pullovers and singing ballads about the 'old country' for what feels like forever. Old women want to adopt him. Father Ted fans might remember the parody of him with the character Eoin McLove and his hit 'My Mayo Mam.'

He's sort of "val doonican-light", really WRT the awful sweaters and the crooning-thing. Lots of middle-aged and elderly women go a bundle on him.

Not my cup of tea, at all. I don't quite get this "camping out thing" at all. if it were some really monster, monster band, then perhaps it'd be worth it, *shrugs* it's barmy, if you ask me.

Some mates of mine camped-out like that for Cliff Richard tix, a couple of years ago, when he played the arena. They were camping out in March, and the show wasn't till November; how :loopy: is that !! ??

(pssst, bad taste joke:- "What's got 100 legs, and smells of wee?"

A :- The front row at a DO'D concert! )

Considering the average Daniel O'Donnell fan hasn't had any sex for twenty years, this build up to their annual fluttery hormone rush is the nearest thing to foreplay at their time of life.

purdyamos! my nan loves Daniel O'Donnell you cheeky swine :O)

Daniel is a stone cold legend. You haven't lived until you've seen him in his leather trousers, "jiving" to rock and roll. I bought the wife his autobiography as joke present once (like you would buy it twice). There's a whole chapter on why Cliff Richard is better than Elvis (basically because Cliff wasn't a dirty fecker, while Elvis kissed lots of girls) and another one on why his house is decorated entirely in purple and silver (something to do with Loretta Lynn I think). He's like Prince transplanted to Donegal - the purple, the religion, the ... the ...alright, I give up.
The most frightening thing is that if you look at his home town website http://www.kincasslagh.net/ he's only the 9th most notable person from the village. Imagine that.

It's Craggy Island! :clap:

Next on their list of local heroes:

Over the road are Clannad and Enya, with Goats Don't Shave

My imagination's doing overtime now. :o

ahhh "Goats Don't Shave". Pub rock for culchies. They're one of those bands that mass emmigration is directly responsible for. If it weren't for drunken ex-pat nostalgia there would be no possible reason for their existence, other than a perverse kind of national self-hating aural cruelty.

I never really liked them.

I passed them again this morning. They're still there, laid out on their sun loungers wrapped up in sleeping bags making the place look untidy.

Surely they should be arrested for vagrancy or something?

AND JAILED.

This week, and all week, there have been people camped out every night on the steps of the City Hall :o



Is it just me, or is "camped" out for Daniel o Donnell quite apt if you know what I mean?;) ;)

Sad attention seekers with nothing better to do.


How does camping out/queuing for tickets for something that you're passionate about make you a *sad attention seeker* ?

No i'm not a fan of D'O'D, i'm just curious as to what you meant by that. DO enlighten us :)

Sad attention seekers with nothing better to do.

Come on, it's not like the tickets are all going to sell out on the first day is it?! I used to work with one of the ladies who is camping out to get tickets to see Daniel O'Donnal she is a lovley person not a sad attention seeker with nothing better to do and she has got a loving husband who im sure wont have gone without sex for 20 years, she dosnt deserve to be arrested for vagrancy either like someone mentioned some people are so nasty about others it makes me very angry if thats who she wants to see its up to her i dont see any one making jibes about any one camping out to get tickets to see Robbie or kylie just because Danniel O'Donnal isnt our cup of tea dosnt make her a looser.

tread carefully ye who would enter the world of Daniel spreading falsehood and embitterment.

"Forgive them, Daniel, they know not what they say" (repeat ad infinitum)

Wouldn't it have been easier (and warmer) to have just gone down on the morning the tickets go on sale? The queue doesn't seem to have become any longer since they started camping out earlier this week.

she dosnt deserve to be arrested for vagrancy either like someone mentioned

Why not? Sleeping on the City Hall steps is the behaviour of a tramp.

And if these people aren't after attention then why make a show of themsleves instead of buying their tickets like everyone else?

And if these people aren't after attention seeking then why make a show of themsleves instead of buying their tickety like everyone else? so your saying any one who camps out for tickets or tickety as you seem to call them are tramps so does that go for people who camp out to get tickets for wimbledon. they are camping out to make sure they get on the front row not to make a show of themseves. But if you want to see it in a negative way its your choice.

This is getting too serious! It's about people camping out to see tweeness. It's beyond most people's understanding, it's quite funny - especially if you've seen Father Ted...

so your saying any one who camps out for tickets or tickety as you seem to call them

:hihi:

That would have been a typo (as I'd call it).

I have to admit that I own a Daniel O' Donnell T-shirt!!! I wear it sometimes on stage. What started off as a joke has now turned into a regular thing. I'm waiting for Dan to do a covers album of Arctic Monkeys. Now I know he is rubbish but i'm sure we would make even their songs listenable.

I did wait outside the cinema once to be the first to see Ghostbusters. We waited from 9am till 2pm. That was quite enough for me.

Daniel O Donnell is very much a pin up for reader of People's Friend and Womans' Own and has been ever since Frank Bough's sad fall from grace.

Anybody who eats in the Sportsman must be crazy! How can people eat when the place smells of vomit?

Please, slimsid, Woman's OWN? *aghast* :O

No, no and thrice no! *shudder* It's People's Friend and Woman's WEEKLY :lol:

Who is Daniel O' Donnell? I've never heard of him!

(redrobbo maybe ought to buy a telly one day?).

You arent missing anything. :gag:

What has 150 legs, no teeth and smells of wee






The front row at a Daniel O'donnell concert:hihi: :hihi:

Anyone who camps out for tickets anywhere is sad imho.
At least camp out for somehing good, not DOD tickets

sorry, daftlad, I did that one back in post number 9... :lol: still funny, though!

id hose em all down like they do with the homeless in london :)

I walked past City Hall on Tuesday lunchtime and wondered what was going on there, seeing as some people had set up camp outside. Can't believe they're still there :o I thought they'd just taken their sun chairs into town cos it was nice weather :P

mrs elric is at front of q on deck chairs with her friend they are big fans an camped out every concert for him they have been in star this week i went to school with her son but unforyunately he has died got knocked down at meadowhall by bus if anyone remembers

I didnt realise people still queued up over night and beyond for tickets - it was all the rage in the early 80s ( i can remember a very early start queuing for Rush tickets when I were a lad...) ..

but then came technology.. phone lines and credit cards.. the internet... and such like... maybe the older folk arent aware of such advancements?

id hose em all down like they do with the homeless in london :)

I took a photo tonight, not entirely sure why they were there though.

Daniel O Donnel is very much the Val Doonican for the Naughties.

Wow! Queuing for tickets - not done that for ages! And certainly not for Daniel o Donnell. :D
There was some great camaraderie about camping out for tickets - knowing you all liked the person with a passion. Now if you don't get them with a few clicks, you just go on e-bay or wait for the next month that they tour! :rolleyes:
I only wagged school twice for tickets - once for Paul Young and once for :blush: five star :blush: Didn't get them for either but enjoyed the queuing.
