If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

It'd be great if the miners came out of that capsule dressed as Mario.
Or as Manic Miner, all pixellated and stuff. With a deadly toilet chasing them.

This is the best feel-good story I have known for a long time. When the story broke, there never seemed any doubt in anyone's mind that they'd be rescued. I think that helped keep the mood of this story as optimistic as it has been.

Although isn't there one miner due to be welcomed by his wife AND his mistress? Oof!
Indeed. I bet he'll just want the ground to swallow him up....oh.
No, he's out and chose the mistress - he separated from wife ten years ago. Big media story that was bs.

I'm just pleased they all got out. I'm sure a lot of the coverage was over the top, didn't watch it, but people were looking for a feel good story, something in short supply the last few years.

Should have called International Rescue, they would have had them out in about 40minutes!
My dog (proper 57) had his anal glands emptied once and yes the smell is something to behold!!

I didn't watch it live either - I'm a bit of a thick-skinned cynical hard-ass when it comes to this kind of stuff, but, I watched the BBC compilation this morning - and blubbed all the way through....

Nope... in fact, it's her birthday today!
Not much of a present for her, miners not dying a slow death in the dark... wouldn't have happened when her best friend Pinochet was in charge...

It'll be called "America saves the world again".

I don't know how they'll manage it, but there will be a scene in which The American President (probably Morgan Freeman or Harrison Ford) will say "goddamit, we've got to save those Chilean miners if its the last thing we do". Cut to American military people running around wooping, high fiving, patronising the poor but humble natives with their folksy wisdom and generally saving the world.

Again.


Fiver on it.

Hmmm... but don't the americans rescue people slightly differently nowadays? Won't this film then have an american rescuer accidentally dropping a hand-grenade down the shaft and killing them all??

Well yes, there'll be some evil left wing government around (My moneys on The Argies, two birds one stone) that they can blow up. When you're a non-signatory of every convention going you can get away with this and still claim the moral highground.
