Liam, get as well as you can soon...
Reminded me of this dickwad
Thomas Midgley Jr. has been named a “one-man environmental disaster” for two big reasons. He was one of the early pioneers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – compounds that became widely used in industry – and which were destroying the ozone layer. He also invented leaded gasoline and insisted that it was safe to use.
Perhaps there is a god, because after that he got polio and was partially paralyzed, he invented a pulley contraction on his bed to move him, but one day he became entangled in it and was strangled !
Interestingly we also used a chemical in fire extinguishers BCF or Bromodichloromethane (Halogonated hydrcarbon) the yellow fire extinguishers. I do not blame these inventors, I think the intent was good, and the bad unintentional.
