If celebrity, and money is waiting at the end of it? Oh yes.

According to the news yesterday, the miners' prolonged stay in the dark has rendered their corneas very sensitive. Not sure how long it's expected to last, but apparently their hospital ward is being kept dark.


I really hope their government protects them from the sharks who'll be waiting to take advantage of them and help them spend their new money.

Wonder if any of the miner found any when they were down there.....apart from the fellas wheeling them away on the trolleys when they got out thinking 'how did these guys put on so much weight?' who would know :)

I have just watched Panorama about the Chilean miners.

My god, it really hit home what those poor men went through and the effect it has had on them.

One of the miners, a 31 year old man, is really suffering from post traumatic stress.

He was shown, after his rescue, screaming at his family 'you don't know what it's like to die'.

His wife said to him 'Edison,you are not dead'

He responded by crying and saying how they could not ever know what it was like to be down there in the darkness.


Fuckk me!


I don't think any of my top tips could make him see the funny side of life.

Mind you, I don't think it makes most of you lot see it either. At least he doesn't spend his time worrying and moaning about Iceland being an eyesore or picking up a PCN because he was dopey enough to drive like a muppet.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
