Manchester United have already invited them over as 'most of the boys are fans'. Coach is a Liverpool fan, so I'd expect them to get involved too.

All rescue team now out of the cave - phew! Great job.

Those poor boys have surely suffered enough without having to spend an afternoon watching a Mourinho team defend at home?

They've just finished sitting still in silence for ages, and it takes a lot more than five hours to get out of Old Trafford, so what will be new to them?

The Thais are going to make a statue of him at the caves.


This is the Australian Dr. Richard Harris, who was the last man out of the caves and led the whole rescue, whilst his father was dying back in Aus.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-44789693

He didn't lead the rescue but he went into the caves to assess the boys medical conditions and then stayed in the caves for 3 days to ensure the boys remained healthy enough to go through the rescue attempt. It was his decision on if the attempt would go ahead after his medical assessment of the boys. His presence was requested by the Thai Government after British divers identified him for his unique skill set.

There is already calls for him to get Australian of the year, which is quite the honour down under.
The biggest honour apparently.

I'm not wanting to mock the Aussies, but it does sound really naff. It is of course a great honour, only 1 person gets it each year, but it sounds like some crappy Miss Crawley.

What on earth is all this about? Vern Unsworth turned down an offer for a mini submarine saying it wasn't suitable for the cave rescue, but then last night Elon Musk started tweeting vicious allegations calling him a pedo (sic) because he lives in Thailand. The tweets have now been deleted.

Vern Unsworth is considering legal action.

I read this earlier....very bizarre......seems to have been particularly upset that his submarine wasn’t overly appreciated. Must be more to it than that......

Musk's comments in recent weeks have been somewhat erratic. His remarks on a recent Tesla earnings call were bizarre, and now this.

Easily done. One minute you are creating a submarine, next minute you are calling someone a Pedo in 3 exchanges on Twitter. Such is modern life.

In any case, I thought 'Nonce' was the overused in vogue Twitter insult these days. He should stick to making cars that catch fire and stay off the tweet machine.
