But you seem like a nice enough chap, if you want to come back next week we can maybe try you out presenting the weather desk or something .....
I hear that there's news that one of the police posts operating one of the roadblocks at the bottom of the mountain may be running low on sticky rice for their lunch, has anyone any news or an update on this breaking story perhaps ?
Sarcasm and subtlety is wasted on this crowd - everything has to be literal and spelt out. They can't even appreciate regular porn - it has to be geronto porn.
Lonelywombat has spent literally minutes every day updating the world about what every major news source on Earth has been reporting, and ridicule is all you got? Some people, huh!!

The boys and the coach are safe. Thank God.
In a world awash with torment, it lightens the heart to witness the power - not of man's 'inhumanity' to man (about which we hear so much) - but of the empathetic pulse that beats within us that hears so clearly, and responds so readily, to a call for help from our fellow man, irrespective of race or nationality.
I think that this thread has now run its course: the outcome terrific.

Thai rescue story already being eyed for blockbuster movie treatment
The nail-biting rescue of a Thai boys soccer team and their coach from a flooded cave complex transfixed news viewers around the world, and the story could be headed for a retelling by Hollywood.
All that needs to be changed is to replace Thai Seals with Us Seals, the Australian Doctor with a US and replace the support staff using aUS hospital to be created.
This is how many stories have been retold in movies past.

Perhaps the most understated person was Australian Doctor Richard Harris

Australian doctor Richard Harris, who is also an expert cave diver and whose presence was requested by British divers participating in the mission, played a critical role in the rescue operation on all three days.
Harris had swum all the way through the cave each day – about 3.2 kilometres – to the trapped Thai soccer players and given a medical sign off for each boy before an evacuation was attempted.
Each day, he would leave the cave only after the last boy had left.He played a pivotal role in the rescue.
Richard Harris you are too modest to accept congratulations, but you are the hero.
Footnote
The father of the heroic Australian doctor Richard Harris passed away just after the mission was successfully completed.
