Hard News: Where nature may win, in reply to Russell Brown,
Yes, I'm sitting up here understanding the impatience and emotion of most of the people down there. For them ,it doesn't lend itself to a time to be all patient. For a minute there I considered that James George might have mates in the mines, hence his emotion although also thought he could be one of those anti mining on conservation land types,. but that was obviously wrong as some PASers here have decided.
I still believe they could have tried remote equipment by now, and Pipe Inspection gadgets do exist, that was my reference albeit a little too close for comfort I see. Still , don't see why the Policeman is the expert here. Shouldn't it be the fire brigade or are you suggesting because of a previous explosion ,they are now not the right emergency department and let's face it the Police Department have had their fair share of inadequate responses before. jus' sayin' ;) -
Oh look, even the Army has a robot

Exactly.

Can it go 2.5 km on batteries? Can it do the job without throwing sparks and blowing any survivors to kingdom come? Can in haul cable and so on?
Yes. They also have remote control ones an'all.Unfortunately the don't have the right Pig on the case (Pipe Inspector Gismo)
Why do the Police have to be in charge of rescue? I'd rather a Fireman. They risk their lives every time they go to work . In many hazardous conditions. -
.. because that may be their saviour.

If companies that contract to Watercare Services have wee robots that go down our sewers (with cameras attached for viewing), why can't these also go down the mine to get an idea of wtf is going on down there? I suspect they have had a look and it don't look good. Hope that is wrong though.The expression by Mr Rockhouse with regard his and his colleagues ability to move with a smaller intake of gas does suggest if the remaining guys are in a similar spot they would be under extreme diificulty to move or live. The explosion could suggest that passage has been blocked and has cut off the guys that were deeper. Hope so.

Hard News: I'm not a "f***ing cyclist".…, in reply to Matthew Poole,
So did anyone abuse you whilst accompanying the signage? You could have just pointed to the back of the bus. Sorted!

Cracker: Dig This!, in reply to Sacha,
No! Believe you me . Miss Stella can make a point (often with that look), but the Great Blend was just too much for her to miss. She achieved door/ architrave destruction all on her little lonesome, (which was her point). This bitch, she has her ways.

I noticed a back of the bus billboard t'other day .
It showed 1.5 meter measurement indicated with arrows , a picture of a bike, and the words (suchliketotheeffectof) 'Take care, we are all sharing this road. ."
None of the "This is mine, all mine fuck off outta my way "
Felt it was a very effective, simple, cheap, campaign. Only seen the one bus but. Guess then that's not too effective. :)
