Encos, a Leeds University spin-out company has produced brick prototypes using sewage slurry from a treatment plant near Leeds, backed by Yorkshire Water. Says Jon Briggs "carbon negative bricks could avoid the need to deposit the ash generated by incinerating sewage in landfill sites".
Disposal of slurry from the sewage treatment plants is an environmental burden for Britain's water companies. Encos hopes to get its bricks on the market within two years if it receives funding of 10m for the commercial product and could provide up to 2% of the 1.1bn UK output of bricks.
We'll all be shitting
bricks when Yorkshire Water makes
our muck into brass.
By 'eck lass, tha' brick
shithouse is built like a brick
shithouse made of...shit!

Drones hover over us all 03.01.2012

Ben MacKintyre reports that the drone arms race is well under way. In "Look up-there's a drone watching over you" he tells us that, according to the UN, over 40 countries have purchased the technology. Drone strikes are illegal, morally dubious, cowardly and cheap, involving no casualties.
In Gaza, the drones of the Israeli Defence Force are known as Zenana.
Deadly weapons with
dozy names bely their more
sinister purpose.

A tale of two Sirs...a divorce is for Christmas 03.01.2011
Source Times: 03.01.2012.
The New Year and post-Christmas period traditionally sees a huge surge in the number of divorces and breakdowns.
Mindful of the statistics, Senior High Court Judge Sir Paul Coleridge is launching a campaign to halt the "appalling and costly impact of family breakdown". After sitting in court for over forty years, he has seen "hundreds and thousands of people traipsing through the divorce courts"
Sir Paul wants to halt what he calls a 'recycling attitude' to relationships in which people ditch partners rather than trying to make things work. "Mend it-don't end it" is his message.
He presided over first round divorce hearings between 'Sir' Paul McCartney and 'Lady' McCartney some time ago and may have presided over all his othr divorce cases.
There are approximately 3.8 m kids currently caught in the family justice system.
A divorce is for
life, not just for the dog days
after Christmas feuds.
A tale of Two Sirs;-
Divorce Court Judge and Rich
Pop Star Breakup Freak.
Recycle rubbish
not marriage, says Divorce Court
Judge quite tidily.

Bent coppers supplied
bent copper. Rozzers were robbers.
Old filth were tainted.
Time-served coppers don't
do the time when they've done the
crime-they leave instead.
