Best time to go to toilet during Oasis Murrayfield shows to avoid missing anything
Edinburgh is preparing for the arrival of Britpop legends Oasis this weekend, as well as up to 200,000 fans who are heading for Murrayfield Stadium over the next few days.
The Gallagher brothers play three dates at Murrayfield from tomorrow - Friday, Saturday and Tuesday - and already fans are gathering from across the globe to snap up merchandise.
For the 67,000 fans heading to the Scottish capital ready to feel Supersonic each night, comfort breaks might not be top of mind, but with just one toilet for every 35 people, according to Victorian Plumbing's research, it probably should be.
That's why researchers have analysed Oasis' tour setlist to help you plan the best times to head for a loo break without missing the key 'mad fer it' moments.
Based on the average person needing to urinate 6-7 times per day, Victorian Plumbing has estimated that the average person needs to urinate every two hours and eight minutes. So far, Oasis' set list includes a total of 23 songs, with a performance typically lasting two hours and 15 minutes, meaning that you very well may need the loo during the setlist, depending on your timings. Another factor to consider when knowing how frequently you will need to go to the toilet is how much liquid you consume.
Staying hydrated is really important, but too much liquid - especially alcohol - will have you missing songs for toilet runs. Pace yourself is the advice from the researchers - sip steadily and plan ahead so you're not stuck in a queue.
When is the best time to go to the toilet during the Oasis gig?
The experts have revealed the longest, and least streamed, songs that Oasis are expected to perform, which could be the perfect chance for an opportune loo break.
Alex Woods, Bathroom Expert at Victorian Plumbing, has the advice people need to ensure they don't miss any of the action if they are caught short.
He reckons 1997 hit D'You Know What I Mean? is Oasis's longest track, clocking in at over seven minutes, which makes it a "perfect moment" for a quick toilet break - especially during the extended guitar solo and instrumental sections.
He added: "It gives listeners a natural pause without missing any key lyrics or vocals.'
Alex says there's one other tune that could facilitate a good time to check out the Murrayfield facilities - Noel's acoustic ballad Talk Tonight, which is Oasis' least streamed song. He believes it's a safe option without missing a crowd favourite.
He adds: "Plus, based on previous Oasis gigs, it is usually played in the middle of the gig, meaning it's prime time for a quick toilet break.'
Alex also has a top tip when it comes to an efficient toilet break, as he went on: "In stadiums, toilets away from the stage and main entrances, like those behind stands or on upper levels, typically have shorter queues, so use facilities on your level to save time.
"It is best to go early before doors open or during opening acts to ensure you don't end up missing your favourite song.
"Queues are shortest before the show, longer during popular songs, and busiest at the end."
The expert also advises to "scout" toilets early and combine breaks with when you're picking up your bucket hat merch as "planning ahead means less stress and no missed moments.'

Emmerdale star reveals character faces 'darkest storyline yet' with devious foe
Natalie J Robb, who has played Moira Dingle since joining Emmerdale in 2009, has opened up about her most powerful soap storyline yet Life is fab at 50 for Natalie J Robb, who is about to take on one of her darkest and most powerful Emmerdale storylines. Celebrating her 16th year playing formidable Moira Dingle, owner of Butlers Farm, viewers will see the soap favourite being caught off guard by the steely cunning of Dales newbie Celia. Still grieving over the death of Nate Robinson, while canny Moira knows conniving duo Kim and Joe Tate will be circling to take over the farm, she does not realise that Celia, played by Jaye Griffiths, is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Natalie says: 'She doesn't expect Celia to be so devious. 'Moira is dealing with the loss of Nate, she is trying to keep everyone afloat and she has money troubles. Then Celia comes along again to tell her a few things that are going to leave her absolutely fuming. She is put between a rock and a hard place over it all.' But fans of the gobby farmer need not worry - as Celia's deviousness puts the fight back in Moira's belly. 'Moira's going to get her fight back, thanks to Celia,' says Natalie. 'She knows she must stand up to her.' It is this unbreakable spirit - and shocking frankness - that has made Moira a hit with soap fans for so long, according to Natalie. She says: 'People have told me they love Moira because she is so unpredictable. You never know how she is going to react. 'Moira is so much fun to play, because she sometimes does things I certainly would not do. The other day, she grabbed a gun and said, 'stay away from my kids', which is obviously not the norm! She is incredibly protective of her family.' As well as enjoying playing such a powerful character, Natalie likes the fact Emmerdale reflects some of the real life issues facing farmers - many of whom are struggling to make ends meet. She says: 'Moira is run ragged trying to keep the farm afloat. 'She has lost clients and it's hard for her. But it's great that Emmerdale is reflecting what is going on in the farming world. 'My friend works on a farm and she tells me what is happening to Moira is happening a lot. It's good we are covering farming issues and how tough it is for them.' But she would like to see Moira diversifying to boost her income. 'With the current climate, farmers are having to diverse and do glamping and other things with the land,' she says. 'It would be nice to see Moira have a lucky spell with the farm by doing something different.' But, in the coming weeks, there will be little time for Moira to consider any future plans, as she becomes embroiled in a massive power struggle with Celia and Kim. Scottish actress Natalie, who now lives in Yorkshire and is enjoying single life, is delighted to still be heading such dramatic plotlines, as she embraces her fifties. She says: 'I do like being 50 because you know yourself a lot better. 'You know what you don't want in your life and while you are still always evolving and learning, you get rid of any problematic things. 'One of my favourite sayings is 'feel the fear and do it anyway'. It's important not to run away and step outside your comfort zone from time to time. 'It's never as bad as you fear. I try to keep this saying printed in my brain if I ever find myself getting overwhelmed. 'Live life as it comes, try not to worry and it's important to make things happen. I am a happy person and that's what I like to radiate. 'Besides, life is too short to worry.' Natalie, who does not have children, loves working with her Emmerdale family and reveals that her soap husband Cain, played by Jeff Hordley, is a big softie, totally unlike his hard man character. 'When I turned 50, he asked me what I was going to do to celebrate,' she says. 'I was really busy with work at the time and I mentioned trying to do lots of things. He insisted I did something at work too. The next minute, he was there organising a lovely meal with the rest of the Dingles for me. It was such a lovely evening. He's so thoughtful and not at all like Cain!' Again, unlike their soap characters, in real life the actors who play the Dingles get on famously. 'It would be a nightmare if we didn't, wouldn't it?' jokes Natalie. Friends off set ever since she first joined Emmerdale in 2009, it was in 2011 that she and Jeff's characters became involved romantically, when Moira - then married to John Barton – had an affair with Cain. After a tumultuous start to their relationship, they eventually married three years later. 'Off-screen, we are always texting each other and we are good friends,' she says. 'We've texted over the summer holidays and we both chatted about how our youngest on screen is now eight in real life. He joined when he was six days old. He is so lovely and I joke to his mum that I am like his other mummy now!' Natalie – who also played Trish McDonald in Take the High Road and Gemma Clewes in EastEnders - is already pals with Jaye Griffiths, too. 'When someone new comes in, you have to welcome them with open arms, ' says Natalie. 'Celia is awful and ruthless to the point you almost cringe at some of the things she says. Jaye is, thankfully, nothing like her character. We have such a giggle and a lot of laughs.' As for their soap relationship? 'Moira doesn't expect Celia to be so devious and so you know she is going to come a cropper at some point,' Natalie explains. 'I love the strong women in the soap and, in the future, I would love it if Kim and Moira joined forces – although arch enemies – to battle against Celia.' But her one great wish for Moira is slightly more left field. 'I love my own dog, Buddy, so much, it would be great if Moira could have one too,' says Natalie. ' Dogs give out so much love and I am sure Moira would love it if she had one.'
