    Default Two buried Miners found alive!

    A few minutes ago a newsbreak announced the two miners have been found - alive! They are getting them out now.

    Good rescue after 5 days. The families will be ecstatic, pity about the other guy though.

    Thanks for that Groggy, I wouldn't have known until tomorrow otherwise. How relieved must they all feel.
    Cheers

    Wonderful,

    Lots of sad faces fundraising at the Lonnie Footy for the miners family. Bet there some smiles now!

    Someone has smiled down on them .

    Just said on the news, that they are talking to them and they will get them out tomorrow. How long is tonight going to be for those families?

    Hope it all works out okay
    There was a young boy called Wyatt
    Who was awfully quiet
    And then one day
    He faded away
    Because he overused White

    Possibly because they weren't expecting to be down there that long?

    or maybe there was basic sustenance in it, as they do at other mines, but the previous shift came in with a hangover and drank all the water and scoffed all the biscuits :mad: :mad:

    Water, beer, chocolate......all good ideas.
