So what is Methylated Spirit? Can you ask for it by that name in the
US? I don't know that you can still get Carbon Tetrachloride here. It
used to be available as a product called Carbona, but I haven't seen
that since the early '90s. It was a wonderful cleaning agent. I think
it may have given folks cancer, though.

What, as in The Ramones' copyright-infringing withdrawn track Carbona Not
Glue? Cool. Sample lyric:

"Well, I'm not sorry for the things I do,
My brain is stuck from shooting glue,
Ooh, Carbona not glue..." :-)
