Johnny Barrios is miner 21. He's the fella with 2 women.
There are a few divorces pending it's been reported.

Whilst his mistress can't wait for his entrance!!:D

baldbear · 13-10-2010 7:42pm

I'd stick with the mistress. The wife looks like a wagon.

Anyone else think it's kinda amusing seeing them coming out wearing big sunglasses like a rock star? Especially miner No.8! On his stretcher throwing peace signs with his shades on!

The reason they are wearing the sunglasses is that they have been underground for 2 months with no sunlight,so when they come up the glare of the sun wont damage their eyesight.

He's next out

baldbear · 13-10-2010 8:20pm

Thrill · 13-10-2010 8:22pm

Said he wants to meet the mistress when he gets to the surface and not the wife. BBC.

moonshadow · 13-10-2010 8:25pm

Handbags at the ready...............ah darn his sister is meeting him:eek:

Yeah he had alot of time to think which woman he wanted. I'd say there will be a messy divorce ahead with all the money from media deals etc.

This will make a great Hollywood romcom!

Going from one tunnel to another.

smokedeels · 13-10-2010 8:27pm

According to Sky News "He put down the name of his wife and mistress, to meet him when he got out" ha, legend.

amacachi · 13-10-2010 8:32pm

I think this is the one most people were looking forward to. :pac:

Wouldn't be surprised if he hops back into the capsule again and heads back down.

KilaWhale · 13-10-2010 8:34pm

Talk about airing your dirty laundry in public......one billion people watching!

baldbear · 13-10-2010 8:34pm

the mistress is Ginger. I saw a pic.

fred funk }{ · 13-10-2010 8:35pm

I hope to god that's his sister. Wouldn't fancy throwing one into her

robinph · 13-10-2010 8:36pm

Nobodies quite sure who she is, either he hates his sister or that was the wife though.

baldbear · 13-10-2010 8:37pm

She put on alot of weight?

murpho999 · 13-10-2010 9:14pm

Absolutely amazed and delighted how smoothly this whole rescue is going. Looks like they'll get them all out tonight.

Great to see some good news on TV for a change.

Only disappointing thing is that Chilean women do not look that hot!:D

W.Shakes-Beer · 13-10-2010 9:23pm

As above, nice to see some good news on for a change.

Agree with that.

SeaFields · 13-10-2010 9:29pm

Just watched a round up of the rescues so far on RTE news. Its great to see good news and over a billion people watching it.

I think i have something in my eye.

This is genius marketing by Oakley. The worldwide brand exposure is priceless.

The sunglasses are Oakley Radar which, depending on the lens, could cost well over €300.

You need to travel more. Absolutely stunning women in Chile and Uruguay. These are working class women who frequently live in quite rough conditions in mining communities so they will not be the cream of the crop.

Yeah, I was in Chile. The women are hot.

Its so great the way this story is turning out. Hopefully nothing will go wrong in the last few hours and everyone down there will get out unharmed. Its great to get a happy news story for once especially in Chile so soon after the earthquake.

Well travelled thanks, but haven't been to Chile yet......find your comments implying that being working class leads to people being ugly overweight to be OTT, but I know what you're getting at.

24 on the way up now.....they are really flying through it now!

Thrill · 13-10-2010 9:56pm

BBC reports that Chile's health minister Jaime Manalich has revealed that one of the miners is suffering from acute pneumonia. The miner, who is not being identified, has a weak lung and may have to stay longer in hospital.

Hope the guy recovers quickly. Been through enough already.

I was born in South America so I speak with extensive knowledge. These mining communities are tough, hard-scrabble places. You won't find much glamour there although, of course, they have their fair share of attractive women. Also, those women are of mostly indigenous Indian stock and they tend to be short and squat.

Not sure how far, but I believe it was an Irish drill used to drill:D

600 odd metres

mink_man · 13-10-2010 10:36pm

how long was it before they first made contact with the outside world when they got trapped?

pathway33 · 13-10-2010 10:40pm

17 days I believe

punchdrunk · 13-10-2010 10:40pm

17 days before they were found,they had a few tins of tuna and powdered milk to live off

mink_man · 13-10-2010 10:45pm

how did they got air? and i know they used water out of the radiator of the trucks but would there have been water down there?

Fizman · 13-10-2010 10:56pm

That wailing baby girl was screaming so loud, I'm surprised that last miner didn't hop back into the lift and press 'Down'.

sunbabe08 · 13-10-2010 10:56pm

theres going to be a lot of babies born in the next 9 or 10 months and a lot of weddings out of this.

You might want to check out the 'Why are Irish people so ugly?" thread for why you're not.

Apparently they've agreed among themselves never to talk about this period.
I wonder how long that will last ?
