Zamora - to be released in the next 24 hours

[The Ringleader Returns!]

He was digging to Seoul
Then he lived like a mole
That's Zamora.

Sanchez must be a bit dirty after 70 days down there.

I wondered why he hasn't been boring us with a glib humourless defence of his religion recently.

Ariel Ticona

This guy surely is a must-use in the next washing powder ad.

"I was down a mine for 70 days swimming in my own faeces - and my whites came up like THIS."

I heard they were hoisting the men out Juan by Juan.

Nice one.

From the names it looks like there might be two brother in there - Dario and Victor Segovia.

If Sky were covering this thing properly they'd be the last two to emerge from the mine, arm in arm, a quick shot to the joyous family, then the commentator could utter that immortal line:

"They think it's all Segovia... IT IS NOW!"

What a wonderful story this is. A true event where Humankind can show positive qualities and when Mankind puts it mind to do it can achieve anything. Makes a change from the stories of Man blowing up Man.

Not being funny but I reckon this whole milarky is a set up. Check out the overalls of the miners as they emerge. They are CLEAN. No dust or dirt in sight. They've just been dragged through a narrow dirty hole and they are CLEAN. Has anyone here ever been down a mine? They are filthy, filthy places

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Yep its all a rig like the landing on the Moon

 

[Brighton TID]

You really would expect those dudes to come out black as your so called hat

 

[maffew]

Its not shearer not coal
who's got out from the hole
its zamora

 

[nwgull]

You really would expect those dudes to come out black as your so called hat

You would if it was a coal mine, but this was a copper mine wasn't it?

They were given razors and shaving cream before their imminent release. Along with clean clothes and so on.
