There is so much to remember. Here's 20 things to make sure you do to make the most of your Euro 2016 experience.

DO:
i) Make hilarious printed flags, preferably with pictures of Father Ted kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse or Conor McGregor with the quote "we're not here to take part, we're here to take over".

ii) Share pictures of hilarious printed flags on social media every day from now until Monday June 13th. 

iii) Bring plastic hammers and/or plastic crocodiles.

iv) Clap when your plane lands in France, if you're travelling by plane.

v) Talk loudly in English at French people who don't understand it.

vi) Only drink in "Irish pubs".

vii) Make jokes about ISIS on public transport, especially on the Paris metro.

viii) Get so drunk that you can't go to a match, or at least get drunk enough that you don't remember it.

ix) Shout "shoes off for the Boys In Green" at every oppurtunity, hilariously take your shoes off, while simultaneously taking a video of yourself doing this with your mobile phone.

x) Chant in an English accent.

xi) Chant something to the tune of Sloop John B by the Beach Boys, but be unaware of the actual existence of said song.

xii) Drink at least eight pints of beer every day for the duration of your trip.

xiii) Dress topless.

xiv) Get as sunburnt as possible.

xv) Make sure to "check in" on Facebook at least three times a day from wherever you are in France. 

xvi) Climb onto a portaloo and dance while drunk. 

xvii) Proclaim loudly how much you hate England and Northern Ireland while they are playing.

xviii) Lose at least three items of clothing on your trip - wallet and/or passport optional extras.

xix) Urinate in public as much as possible.

xx) Chant "Chase The Sun (Oi Oi Oi)" by Planet Funk and gesture with your arms, and also shout that chant about the Toure Brothers.

The list of DON'TS is shorter. We've concentrated on four key DON'TS. 

DON'T:

i) Familiarise yourself with the layout of French cities, including where your accommodation and the stadiums are.

ii) Familiarise yourself with the public transport systems in each city.

iii) Learn widely used, practical French words such as chaussettes (socks), sortie (exit), billet (ticket), toilettes (toilets), stade (stadium), train (train) or bus (bus). 

iv) Visit any places of interest or cultural significance.
