For those of you waiting in nail-biting anticipation for my next post, I must extend this apology to you.
I’m in the process of writing a ‘guest article’ for another website. It will be pretty much the same as my other posts (style-wise), but might be a bit longer.
Once it has gone live (if it gets accepted, that is), I will post a link on here, and on the Facebook so you can all have a read.
I’ll give you a little teaser about what the article is about – it’s going to be an offensive one (which some of you will love), and it’s going to be about a certain hopeless celebrity. I will give away no more!
In the meantime, though… just to keep you happy, I’m going to rant on a bit about how stupid one of the Chilean miners is. The man in question is Yonni Barrios.
Yonni has onni gonni and invited both his wife and his mistress to greet him when he surfaced.
His excuse, understandably, is that he loves them both and wants them both ‘to be friends’.
Of course, Mr. Barrios, your wife is going to LOVE the idea of palling-up with the women you’ve being doing the dirty with behind her back for five years. Are you insane?!
First of all, she’s not going to ‘understand’ and ‘be ok with it’, and you can’t just play the ‘I’ve been trapped underground for a while’ card… that’s just not going to cut it Yonni, not going to cut it at all.
So, as the other 32 miners were greeted with tears of joy and applause, Monsieur Barrios was greeted by… his mistress (who kind of looks a bit like his wife anyway… she was just wearing a different top).
That’s right, his wife refused to turn up. And bloody good for her. She’s given him the old-age ultimatum – “it’s her or me”.
Now then, I’m happy Yonni got out of the mine un-scathed, I really am – in fact, I think it really is a miracle that all of the miners made it out. Very heart-warming indeed. But it’s not a bloody episode of EastEnders.
Perhaps, Barrios, you should have considered that the story of 33 trapped miners about to be rescued from the depths of the Atacama desert would escalate into one of the biggest news stories of the year – which means EVERY form of media will be there… and on that note, perhaps you should have just asked your wife to be there – and dealt with your mistress privately, as you have been doing for five years.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this guy has either inhaled something down there… or he’s just bloody stupid.
ANYWAY, I will leave it at that, and wish Mr. Barrios all the very best in his future life as a bigamist and ‘miner’ (ha-ha) celebrity.
One final note though, if any of you are planning on revealing a mistress to your wife, just like Yonni did, – please don’t ask them both to ‘be friends’… we’ll just laugh at you if you do!
Note: I just want to take this final opportunity to say how great it is that all of the miners have been rescued – it’s a credit to the Chilean Government as well as the mining minister.
While you’re here… why not add a comment saying who you think should be sent down the mine in replacement of the rescued miners. Just a bit of fun – nothing too personal please!

If your going to break it to your wife that your cheating on her, surely its a good idea to make sure your as far away from her as possible. Also his mistress doesn’t seem to be against the idea of tag-teaming and when he gets his money from his compo/book deal, his wife will come running back lol
