Trapped Miners

What a dramatic rescue. I’m just very relieved that the miners are all out.
I was in London yesterday and stopped for a coffee at the rotunda thing in St James’s Park. When I came out, there was none other than Sebastien Pineira sitting on a bench fretting over some paperwork, surrounded by aides.
I reckon he did a great job. Yes, he probably got a fair bit of political mileage out of it, but at least he was there at the mine head showing solidarity.
Just remeber what Putin was doing when those sailors on board the Kursk were marooned at the bottom of the Barents Sea.

And so long as there are oily rags like Max Clifford around talking up potential earnings of £100 million what do we expect?

Yers I saw him on the One Show last night, I can’t believe that films, fame, money (even discussing breaking the miners up to get personnal takes on what happened down there) was being discussed before the rescue operation took place.

Well, of course it will! And so long as there are oily rags like Max Clifford around talking up potential earnings of £100 million what do we expect?

What a fantastic achievement to get these men back,I just hope that the media money now available to all concerned does not cause problems for their future(s)

Now what the hell would I need that for? The 2+ months without Mrs C nagging would be all the counselling I’d need.

Ok, let’s get back to watching our politicians point score over each other……

Mind you if that prat Milliband doesn’t drop the non confrontational, non aggressive knuckle pointing when he’s trying to make a point I’m going to lock myself under the stairs….

Then you’d better make sure you tell them!;)

I’ll bet that the UK press did not mention that the drill bit that they used was made by a family firm here in the Irish Republic:diablo:

The good news is that they are all out safely. I think my msin priorities after an ordeal like that wouold be:- A bacon roll, a good cup of tea, a nice hot bath and bed in that order.

Hell yeah.

But you haven’t mentioned counselling………:rolleyes:

And there will be a woman/women amongst them….

33 is too big a cast,

knowing Hollywood, they will re-write it, change it to a team of 7 and the mine will be in USA.

Oh yes, someone is gonna cash in on this.

Looking forward to the movie……

David Cameron phoning in with his best wishes on live TV.

These guys are just pure spin.

Can you imagine if Apollo 13 had happened this year rather than the 70’s. The media spin would be unbearable.

Oakley are getting some priceless advertising…..

15th miner on his way up! Anyone else hear the story of the white butterfly deep in the mine that saved 2 miners from death??

Great stuff – a film that has passed me by. 1951 and a square jawed Kirk – I must try and find a copy!:)

Why am I reminded of the film ‘Ace in the Hole’? :rolleyes:
