POEM OF THE DAY Big Jim, by James Evans Big Jim the Marshal was seven feet tall, but had a dark side no-one knew at all. He's the law, checks the saloon at night, to stop a brawl, or a drunken bar fight Then one evening, as the sun went down, Bart the Bandit rode into town. Paid a dollar to put his horse in a stable, then booked in the hotel, where a room was available. After breakfast he got his horse, rode to the bank, to rob it, of course. It's a stick-up, he said, reach for the sky, when I grab the cash, keep your hands held high. Bart's robbery was soon undone, Big Jim burst in, with his rootin' tootin' gun. Bart got shot and lay down dead, next stop Boot Hill, full of lead. Then Marshal Jim showed his darker side, grabbed the cash and ran outside. Jumped on his horse for a quick getaway, shouting Giddy Up Ned, Yippy Aye Ay!

Yee and indeed haaaaa!

Former mayor calls for action on Bodmin's 'bomb site' roads Cllr Andy Coppin has made it his mission to report as many potholes as possible

It’s dreadful road surfaces like this which put people off from visiting Wasp World (one mile north of the A30 at Bodmin) and also Hornet Land (one mile south of the A30 at Bodmin). They’ll just “buzz off” elsewhere, and the local economy gets stang.
