Perfect story for a new movie in the future?

'Cheeky' miners bide time - National - theage.com.au: "The two Tasmanian men trapped underground for the past 10 days are in good spirits and being rather 'cheeky', despite the rescue effort proceeding more slowly than expected.

Paramedic Karen Pendrey, the first woman to speak to the two men, said: 'They do have times when they're really chirpy and really chatty and then they do have times when they're really sick of being in there.''

Ms Pendrey grew up in the area and has been able to chat the men about family and local matters. She also said they had been very cheeky but declined to elaborate.

They do have a sense of the national support effort and the media coverage.

'When we go down we make a bit of a joke and say `oh yeah we've got to fight our way down through the media to get to you' as a bit of a joke and they find that quite amusing.'' Ms Pendrey said."

I can see it now, these 2 men are going to be very wealthy in the future as they make a movie out of their story. Let's hope the entire town benefits as the likely hood of this mine going back into full production is slim and many people will be out of jobs as the mine is the single largest employer.

LIVE LIFE WITH PASSION... IT IS SHORT!
