But you got scared and offloaded it onto some fresh unsuspecting victim. Tell you what, we’ll call you a half survivor. Until Yellow Ninja admits he sold his too 😆

That’s 2.5 survivors. If someone was only maimed we can get back to a round number.

Hurray, a survivor!

That’s one documented thus far.

Many died as a result.

I just made that up. No one died. To my knowledge.

Having said that, I don’t know of anyone who’s spoken to UK190 (or many of those who bought his bottles) in some time.

Are you out there Martin…..?

As suggested, tight tolerances etc will obviously extend their lifespan, as will limiting their travel.
