Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

Morning all

Heart in mouth - just read on ABC news site that rescue attempts in Thailand are underway.

Dear God I hope they all make it out safely.

me to Laney

the situation is beyon belief ......... those poor kids will never be the same

Everything else pales into insignificance doesn't it ooaks? 

The World  Cup, Wimbledon, the AFL and Masterchef - they mean nothing in the scheme of things at the moment. 

I would imagine (and hope) that the focus of many today will be on those lads and their rescuers.

It is difficult to think of anything else.

I like my idea of getting the boys out.

Those flexible tubular chutes fed through then filled with air and one at a time pulled through with a harness.

Basically a tube going through the underwater part.

I hope they all get out sooner than later as 5mins of downpour in that region is a lot of water. 

It will also mean they get a trip to the world cup. 

For those kids, that would be a trip of a lifetime and make them forget all about the trauma much quicker.

My daughter was telling me Elon Musk had some good ideas too.. An air pressure tube or mini subs.... I heard on the news that the boys have been reached and the strongest will go first... They just had a 10 min heavy downpour at the media centre( about a mile from the cave)

hope they're out soon Kopes

3 of the Thai boys are out of the cave.

Just ran in to tell you all - fantastic news .............

Liam Cochrane - the ABC Correspondent in Thailand - reported that it appears that six boys are out safely.

Wonderful news
