Will a leftover bottle of hand sanitiser disinfect me after visiting that web site?


GS

It's not your hands that obviously need sanitising!

[edit] Sorry servodude. Would've left that if I'd seen your similar post.

Well The Times, newspaper of record, is reporting it as a selfie death. One trusts its sources are reliable.

A tragedy for the young man and his family, of course, but I make no apology for updating this thread from time to time. When you are next standing on a cliff, or underneath a helicopter, remember what you read here!

Ridiculous. Should be UPload, not download.
