Miners

It is a great story...but i cant help thinking of Timmy O'toole trapped down a well (Simpsons).

"Its time for a good old fashion hole diggin...by geez its been a while"
 
U guys referring the the Tassie miners, or something else? I've not heard/read the news lately.

I know the Tassie guys came out this morning.

It'd be a very happy moment for them and their families, but all I've heard on the radio all morning is Kim & Dave trapping on about throwing them a party.....
 
yep this is timmy o'toole all over again, its scary how right the simpsons got it.

anyway, as usual, the media have have gone overkill and robbed the story of any emotion i might have felt. after 20 news bulletin updates per day, every one having absolutely no point apart from stating that progress is being made, you just stop caring and just wish the whole thing would go away.

but richard carlton dying like that was pretty freaky, makes you think how life can be snatched from you when you least expect it.
 
How true it is Jezza. Couldn't stop laughing at Jimmy J's post.
Typical media, they just go overkill on it. Makes you wish they would just get on with it
 
Funniest thing was early this morning...

NEWS JUST IN!!

"These are the hospital beds that the two men will be going to (zoom in) and this is the elevator that the men will be going into, (drumroll) together as one, as they have been for 12 days"

One of the two miners didnt go to their mate's funeral today
Poor form
He should be embarassed

What a joker. He walks away a millionaire and an instant celebrity, while his mate is 6 feet under. The least he could do is pay his respects. Even if he lost a limb he should be there at the fkn funeral.

I'm adding miners to my hated list.
 
Breaking News!!!!!

Michael Jackson has just left Tasmania after finding out it wasn't two trapped minors.
