Chilean Miners

[clubchamp07]

I watched it this morning before heading out and it was rather heart warming watching everyone pull together to save the lives of 33 wee heroes.

I hope the rescuers get the recognition they deserve.

How the F are they heroes, they went to work one day and got stuck. They didn't fight in a war, they didn't save anybodys life, so how can you call them heroes?
I think its all been a stunt. Set up by the goverment to get world attention.
Wait and see, whenever all the dust settles, the in group fighting will start.

Apparently they have been told by the government not to talk to the press as the government themselves have negotiated a film deal for them

I rest my case.

The first of the trapped Chilean miners brought to the surface have admitted that four of their colleagues were delicious.

The jubilant miners hugged their families and shouted for joy before quietly informing the rescuers they would only need to do 29 trips.

Florencio Avalos, trapped for 64 days, said: "We were just going to keep quiet about it and hope no-one noticed. 'Oh no, there was only 29 of us, why would you think there was 33?'. But we kind of realised you had probably been through the list a couple of times.

"Then we thought about saying they were eaten by a dragon, but then there would be this whole big dragon finding expedition and when it came back empty handed eventually someone would start asking lots of awkward questions. Particularly as we've all gained a bit of weight.

"So eventually we thought, best just to come clean straight away so everyone can move on with their lives and we need never speak of it again."

Bolivian Carlos Mamani added: "All we had was these biscuits. After the first 12 hours I was like, 'these are just rubbish' and so I hit Manuel over the head with a big rock and made some sausages.

"It's okay, he was a terrible racist."

Mamani said the other three dishes were all racist child molesters who stole food and water and had eventually begged to be made into stew, burgers and a really lovely slow-roasted shift supervisor.

"The sense of unity and togetherness down there was amazing. No-one said 'this is too spicy for me' or 'I don't like chins', we all just eat who was put in front of us."

He added: "I would like Tobey Maguire to play me in the film please."

It's been done before if I recall correctly.
At least I think I've seen a film where 33 Geezers were all stuck in the same hole before, together with an Alsatian, a marrow, a bowl of custard and a fishcake.
Although I might have been dreaming.

I've seen a film involving about 30 blokes and one large hole but I don't think it was a Hollywood release......

Bot sure if i'll get away with this

I am new here so still a little unsure of the boundaries!

"But I had heard this was the greatest news story for miners since the death of micheal jackson !"

Maggie Thatchers not happy, it's her 85th birthday and the only ones celebrating are the miners.

Enjoyed watching them come out Juan by Juan

 

[clubchamp07]

I'm sick listening about them

Apparently Roy Hodgson has been on to them for advice on help on how to get out a deep hole.

And it's also the most people dug up from under the ground since they went in to sort out Fred West's patio.

Gary Glitter has moved to Chile as it's the only place you can slide a miner up and down your shaft and not get arrested.
