Title: Bristol Volksfest - General Chat
Post by: bobbarley on 04 April 2010, 00:14
I remember us all clubbing together for that big thing last time for hanging out in, do you think it's worth getting another ahead of time?  Just found this, looks quite good.

I'm not suggesting anything as people will just say it's sh!t, I'll just go with the flow as they say.  :kiss: On another note, send me some pics of your Ed30 and I'll make you a new sig. :afro:

Its a bit of a bargain though, im sure we could use it to at least cook in, have a bit of a base to sit around etc?

It would only cost like a pound each too!  :grin: :grin:
