Great stuff, just been watching it on CNN - superb news

this is a qoute from my eldest brother in tasmania.

there marko... yea these blokes have been amazing.. finally -they got them out today with some great scenes of reunion....sad and happy... they were funny though -- the doctors kept feeding them healthy light meals but all they wanted was chips and gravy or pizza..haha they reckon the amount of food they were eating they had to enlarge the hole to get them out. that reporter that dropped dead was a prick so too bad! one of them discharged himself from hospital and the other stayed for steak and eggs and a beer and then went home.!!

 

i dont know what the reporter did to upset my bro but excellent news

got to agree with your brother about the reporter being a prick but wouldnt wish a heart attack on anyone.

But then when its your time thats the way to go, quick and nearly painless.
