In my teens and twenties I wore a wrist watch with radium paint on the hands. At the time I was not worried about it and today, many decades later, I am still not worrried. I have not suffered any strange ailments. I may still have the watch somewhere. Maybe I should dig it out and check if the paint still glows in the dark.

I noted with interest the reference to balloonron on ebay. For some time I have wanted to buy a bubble sextant. Unfortunately I  cannot justify his asking price so it will have to remain a dream.
