you are more likely to cause mass hysteria with half arsed reports like that! 🙁
They haven’t said too much at this stage about why the men both fell ill. I guess all will be revealed once a post mortem has been performed. Strange both if them were bad. Must have been something they both had!!!!!
Dodgy kebabs? Maybe
Apparently it was drugs related
of course it was – and my post was removed, when I said chances are it was a dodgy batch of gear ingested
Should of bought Class A Drugs.Better Quality Supposed.? It’s not worth buying cheap.Live and learn or Die..,
Try not buying any at all. How about that. Sad people have to turn to drugs increasing the bank balances of skummy drug dealers. Stay clean and clear of drugs, it’s not cool at all.
Not russian and rather insensitive as is a lot of commenters on here
