chilean miners - big up, nuff respect..

[Johnny Canuck3]

was that even faster than the last two?

The ground is starting to prematurely ejaculate miners?

 

[ymu]

No, but you take huge pleasure in making fun of them behind their backs, so to speak.

I am not a fatist. So no. I am horrified by the public health implications. But then, I work in public health, so I would be.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

yeah, but how many family reunions do you get in a game of golf?

There's always the chance that Elin Nordgren will appear with a 9 iron and beat Tiger's head in. A reunion of sorts.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

I can't even make it through a golf game on tv, never mind something like this.

I saw one that was really exciting. This poor rookie was about to win, but he accidently grounded the ball in an unmarked sand trap. It cost him the green jacket.

Are your eyes brown?

I can hear it now: "Oh those poor Americans! I just can't imagine the public health implications!"

Ffs.

 

[ymu]

You do have some wonderfully redeeming features. Which is why I love you really.

Soz OU, everyone.

Is the green jacket like the yellow jersey?

Did the first miner get a specially coloured garment of any sort?

Their settlement was entirely fair. Tiger got to keep his clubs and Elin got his balls.

Ffs.

More the costs in terms of healthcare and life years lost. We spend a lot of time working on that shit here. We have to. The health budget has to deliver best value for money, not most profit for salesmen.

Canada has a particularly good public health system too. CCOHTA is brilliant.

It's ok, I guess. Your first cunt of the day just caught me too early in the morning. Cunt before the first coffee can have bad consequences.

Yes, but less smelly.

The first miner got the first shower. I'd consider that a prize after a few months underground.

She's probably the richest swedish woman in the world, second only to Queen Juliana....or Beatrix..... or .......Clotilde....

Who is the Swedish queen, btw?

Evidently there was a huge surge in the value of the Krona the day she got her settlement.

Right, it's been mentioned three times (and I heard the 1st and 3rd time) that there are TWO rescuers down there, despite me thinking there's three.

and yet...

BBC keep saying two BUT a few minutes ago I thought I heard them say three. Then they went back to saying two.

I hope it's only two, I stayed up 'til 5:00am last night and I'll be staying up 'til at least 1:30 tonight for the miners and if there's three (or five!) rescuers then it's gonna be 3 or 4 am. I do have a job to go to!

That's it: Queen Agnetha.

and I've just found this on The Guardian website

Below the line, MLouis asks why they keep sending rescuers down (there was a fixed five for some time, but a sixth has recently been sent).

The mining minister Laurence Golbourne said earlier that the sixth man was being sent down so the rescue team could have time to rest while still maintaining the flow of miners to the surface.

He stressed there had been no problems which had caused them to send down the sixth man, it was simply to aid the team. No more rescuers will be sent.

Same as, but I'm lucky, I don't have to work

Can you post a link to that Guardian page please? I've been looking but can't find it (sleep deprivation!)

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Still saying only two rescuers down there

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Now The Guardian is saying there's only two down there

There are now just five of the original 33 miners down in the shaft. They are: Juan Aguilar Gaete, Raúl Bustos Ibáñez, Pedro Cortez Contreras, Ariel Ticona Yáñez and Luis Urzúa Iribarren. There are also two rescue workers down the mine. All seven are visible on the mine cam.

 

[eightball]

Now The Guardian is saying there's only two down there

Yeah, the actual Guardian blog is saying two. The stuff about 5 or 6 was just chat in the comments section - which can safely be discounted

eta: FFS!! now the BBC are saying two rescuers AND the paramedics - but didn't say how many!

 

[Orang Utan]

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

28 miners rescued; and according to the CNN Countdown Clock, it's only been 20 hours and 55 minutes.

[Minnie_the_Minx]

There's definitely more than 2 rescuers in there. Maybe they don't consider medics rescuers?

Maybe they all saw what I saw, which was more than two.

29. Is CNN way behind the BBC or something?

 

[smmudge]

I count at least 8 people in the live feed from the mine on the Beeb, so there's definitely more than 2 rescuers down there.

I've just edited my previous reply ^^^ the BBC are now saying rescuerS and paramedicS but not how many
