Chilean Miners

Is it fuck.
I was stuck in a hole for 13 years.
It was called Ipswich.

I know a guy who has been trapped in the closet for most of his life.

They haven't even brought anything up with them, they've been down there 2 months for god's sake where's the coal?

They ate it.

TNRC were discussing the cast for the inevitable disater movie to follow. I personally want to see Gene Hackman down there with a roll neck sweater trying to lead everyone out of a shaft he has been digging with a tea spoon. Movie won't be much good without Steve McQueen but their is potential for some flexibility on the plot. Des suggested throwing a female research scientist into the mix.

And when they got out, all the people at the top were dressed in ape costumes.

Blimey, you come back home from work after being trapped for a couple of months and you discover that Big Brother is all over and the X Factor already in the live shows.

Can't be easy.

Worst would be to come back to your 1 month pregnant girlfriend.

don't know about you guys but i'm really starting to dig (excuse the pun) the chilean national anthem.

i notice that the miners sang it to keep morale up it when they got stuck and they sung it when they got out. the relatives sang it at the candlelit vigils when they were sad and they sang it during the rescue when they were happy. that' sa lot of national anthem. is it the only song that everyone in chile knows? or is it the only song that's allowed to be sung in chile? is the chilean top 10 made up entirely of different versions of the national anthem. what's chilean x-factor like? maybe mining disasters are a matter national pride in chile? or is a strong nationalist feeling and the urge to burst into song just the natural reaction when faced with unplanned and prolonged subterranean incarceration?

so many questions.

Worst would be to come back to your 1 month old pregnant girlfriend.

i really hope you mean "1 month pregnant"

Set the wayback machine to Aug 25th. Good laughs, happy ending.

Just like tourist companies in California, have the "Hollywood Tour"....taking in the actors' residences, who ever got in on the "Miracle Mine Tour"
is already set up for life. Who needs Aztecs, Incas and Mayas eh? But, all's well that ends well.

They're all out !!!

Excellent stuff.

they worry about the sanity of the miners

i am more worried about the bbc commentator who has had 48hrs to fill with banter describing how a small cigar shaped object keeps yo yo ing up and down in a tunnel

i heard sad news about the clown hired by the mining company to entertain the kids of the miners who during a bout of particularly high wind lost his tent .. it just got blown away
it was the most poignant moment of the whole affair
poor coco

small cigar shaped object

i'd hate to see the cigars you're smoking if you thought that was the size of a small one..

It's probably not cigars he's smoking
