On the other hand the 'fridgies' seem to be a fairly dry perhaps desiccated lot with a particularly quirky sense of humour , perhaps due to Rick and his cronies sniffing all that R22 in years gone by. And some think it was banned for making holes in the ozone layer ......... ha,ha . I think the millenials have progressed to R30 or something similar.

Yes looks like we are going back to that stuff,should reduce global warming,damage to the ozone,or whatever else they can blame refrigerants for wrecking.

But i still have a few flavours to sniff so i should be OK

An ex could always tell when I'd had a lungfull of 22, apparently Ricky Riccardo had a subtle (or maybe not so subtle?) personality change

Still get to play with it, a few big chillers I work on still use the stuff.

I'll try & dig up some Sulphur Dioxide for old times sake.


That'll clear your tubes & rinse your eyes out.


Or if you wish to nod off, what about some Methyl Chloride & you could also go out with a bang.

It is silly now but one of the Apprentice Initiations where I started was to get you into the Gas Filling shed, open an SO2 drum & then they'd bugger off out of it locking the door on the way until an apprentice who shall remain anonymous (in case I should get a belated invoice for repairs) took the door & it's lock off it's frame with a enraged Bull like charge. Fortunately the metal cladding had weakened with rust from the acidic gas) The "funsters" who stood about laughing their tits off would never have known if I was an Asthmatic or not until the Coroner's Report came through. Lucky for them I wasn't . BASTARDS! ..

Happy Days.

Oh yes we were 'ard men in those days, even if we were still a teenager.

Glad you didn't have access to methyl bromide.

Bloody hell! Google reckons that is a real bad bastard of a thing. Nearly akin to Zyklon B (my words not theirs)

Disused in Oz since 2005.
