In a world dominated by news of war famine etc what a delight to have great news

They said last night that wives and partners were all patiently waiting for activity around the shaft head. I suppose that's understandable after all this time.

PMSL :D

I've been following the progression of the miners since the story broke out. I've got the tv on BBC News 24 to watch the rescue until they all get out.
It's emotional watching the rescue. It's an undescribable joy knowing their finally free and seeing them be reunited with their families, especially the children. Won't lie I've cried a wee bit, but it's an amazing human feat  

It's also been reported that the guy who had the affair might the last one out. Obviously gave up trying to stay in the mine then!

If you watch it on skyplus you can have great fun rewinding it and sending them back down again!

I must be honest, I have BBC News on all day and I can't believe they can find as many things to say about the trapped miners and mines and mining as they have over the last 12 hours. I'm getting a bit bored now really. 31 miners is way too many for a live broadcast.

Let them get all 33 out - or do you have something against the last 2?

[Scunner]

I wrote 33 then changed it!

whats the next task they have to do or does it just go on a phone in vote?

We should have sent old Scargill over - he'd have cut this down with his "one out all out" ideas.
