I'm as glad as anyone that they're out, but I'm not looking forward to the continuing media circus that's being made of it.

I'm sure they'll suck it for quite some time yet before leaving the poor buggers and their families alone - not to mention our poor selves who are copping a media bashing over it.

Mike, daresay if they were claustrophobic at all they wouldn't be miners for starters and if they had even the slightest case befeor I reckon it's been fairly well dealt with.

Bloody miracle they're alive I reckon and be a big pissup/wake in Beaconsfield Tassie tonght I reckon.

1) NEVER!
2) i know that about the clauastrophobia, but still, was worth mentioning for shits and giggles.

they were lucky they were still in their cage or they would have been fritz, the rescuers would never have located them in time, i went through the Olympic Dam mine when i worked there in '92, it was at 1200 metres then and the most amazing experience.. as close to outer-space as you could safely get, if you get a chance go underground.
