    Maybe they could do a cover of the Isaac Hayes classic for a B-Side:

    Who is the man that would risk his neck
    For his brother man?
    SHAFT!
    Can you dig it?

    There is massive media coverage of this
    Why is everyone so interested ?
    The public wants what the public gets... I guess.

    Personally I think we should let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow.

    I know they're in a bit of a jam but my opinion they've made their bed and they can lie in it.

    Slow news day combined with round the clock coverage... I do like the "Miners Rescued" counter that is in the top corner though, just incase we can't read the yellow ticker at the bottom of the screen.

    As far as TV goes, this is fairly dull.

    Needs an explosion or two to liven things up.

    Sky News tend to over sensationalize boring news stories...

    Sensationalist Tabloid Media
    Dont get me wrong, I hope all these guys get out alive and well
    But I see Sky News as a TV version of the right wing newspapers

    Not much happening yet. Hopefully Gazza turns up with some chicken and a few cans and a fishing rod.

    Good idea, but all this talk of long shafts and minors is way too vulgar for news television
