They bounced out of the lift, arms waving - just like the end of a normal shift - rasther than one that lasted 14 days - and may have ended in death!
Amazing!
Wonderful news!
To see them romp out of that cage was incredible. Fourteen days together in a box 4' x 4'. Evidently if one wanted to turn over they both had to turn over. Talk about male bonding!!
NOW is the time for Beazely to go in, guns blazing!
Sigh.....not sure if old uncle beazles has a lot of gunniness about him.
Ha! I've just received this email from my Sis who lives near Beaconsfield (Tas)...SHE'S OFF TO SEE THE PRIME MINISTER!!
Relevant portion copy pasted......
"How are you all? Firstly, I've attached a copy of my invitation from our Prime Minister, John Howard, to fly to Canberra for a reception on Monday to say thank you for helping during the Beaconsfield Mine disaster. They've chartered three 737's to transport about 400 people to Canberra (about one and a half hour's flight away), and have afternoon tea with John, Janet, and a few other pollies - all expenses paid. We think it's a bit over the top and it would be have been nice if they'd just hired a venue in Launceston, provided afternoon tea and then
just the Ministers flown over here. Apparently, it's going to cost about
$200,000! Oh well, ***** [partner] is quite chuffed about it and is getting a day off work to come with me. My boss and her husband are also going, and 3 of our volunteers who also helped out. We fly out on Monday morning and return about 10pm on Monday."............
I assume that "pollies" means politicians, and not a flock of parrots (mind you, there's not much difference).
Alright for some, eh?..... I know her, she'll try to tell him that the money would have been better spent on schools or hospitals, knowing her. Probably end up being deported back here!
