Anybody who hasn't gone yet... let me know via pm (you've got till midnight) if you want me to fetch any chrome bongo numberplate surrounds with me... The boot on my car is clattering a bit now! :shock:

Love the poem, Pete & Sue =D>

Where's that Pillage & Plunder statue? Thought I was pretty familiar with most Cornish landmarks, but as it's dedicated to Trades Unions, I suspect it may not be in Cornwall after all ! (Really disgracing myself now with my ignorance :oops: :oops: )

Thank you for that. I feel a bit better now about it, as I avoid Trago like the plague (although I do know there are several statues in there) and it's not on a main road. I'd better drop there sometime though, and just have a look around outside :shock:

Since trades unions came into existence, Cornwall has traditionally had the lowest union membership per head of working population than any other county :D

Quite a shock :shock: No room in the fridge. #-o

A small poem for Crazy.

The wonderful love of a beautiful maid,
The love of a staunch true man,
The love of a baby unafraid,
Have existed since life began.
But the greatest love, the love of loves,
Even greater than that of a mother,
Is the tender, passionate, infinite love,
Of one drunken bum for another.
:lol: =D> Cheers Pete, It brings a tear to my eye,
I'm just sorry I couldn't get much closer,
You must of seen me coming in my new jumper :lol:
cheers! party on dudes.

Hi Dave,
I couldn't agree more.
The Bongo "family" is made up of people from all walks of life with many different interests.
But get us on a campsite for a weekend and we are all Bongoliers.
Hard to find a better bunch to my way of thinking.
Keep well out there in Bongo land, and let me be the first to wish you all Merry Christmas.

Gutted we couldn't make it in the end, we had to sacrifice our place. Sounds like an awesome time and we will definitely be going to it next year!
