I think you can take a dump directly into the fish/shrimp tank so as to make them feel as though they are still in the sea just off the UK coast.

Soon be a case of having to recycle waste Trader as crude oil becomes too expensive; forcing up the price of fertliser etc and the cost of food. Im looking into the use of seaweed on our Scottish farm as we get mountains of it washed up onto the beach after a storm. High in Potash and containing all of the elements apparently. Should be excellent for growing spuds (and onions).

Lol, nothing should go to 'waste' in the brave new world...

It's a wonder that they haven't incorporated a composting toilet and a urinal at the bottom level of the bioshere!

Rogers: Commodity price rises could topple governments

13 Jan 2011 | 09:20

Soaring commodity prices could cause stock exchanges to temporarily shut, and even bring down governments as it leads to social unrest, says commodities guru Jim Rogers.

Yes LC, a US$ default would send World trade/economies into serious turmoil which is why I guess that the creditor nations are reluctant to let it happen? No wonder they are pressing for an orderly transition to a new form of World reserve currency based upon a variety of assets. I don't see how there can be such an agreed transition but time will tell.
The only other way out that I can see is for the western economies to become more protectionist with tariffs etc until they are able to return to 'a balance of trade' with China etc. China remains the biggest problem whilst its currency and working conditions have rendered most western manufacturers uncompetitive and their former workforces redundant.

You certainly track down some very interesting information Trader; well done and thanks.
So the US government is selling a lot of its debt bonds to its pet US banks like JP Morgan and then buying it back again with the additional greenbacks it is printing?! Seems like a gigantic ponzi scheme to me?
Apart from trying to silence 'Wikileaks' it's a wonder to me that the US government aren't trying to silence the likes of 'The Keiser Report' for informing us as to what is really going on?

I've found something that will be

"More valuable than silver or gold in a real meltdown..."


*Wikki don't have an entry for heirloom seeds

Heirloom plant




This is a growth area, pun intended, there are hundreds of these kind of businesses (google survival seeds) on the web, 10 years ago this market barely existed, Celente is probably right about the healthy food trend, whose people are bound to come to blows with the mega food corporations.

LBO don't forget the co. also owns the Stock of luxury cars (£1.4m as at 30/4/10 though they also had Trade Creditors of £0.7m)

They have also retained Edinburgh from BAA (per today's announcement)

I know the company has been pushing the on-line side...with what success
we should find out in the forthcoming Interims.

Cyber wars Eh? Not so sure about that but conditions are ripe for some kind of revolution. It cannot be right for senior bank/ Plc execs or even thicko premier league footballers to be getting annual pay rises in excess of 25%/annum to obscene levels whilst ordinary workers in the state and private sectors are pegged below inflation, even if they are able to get a job and retain it? Mr Bob Diamond, the CEO of Barclays is apparently considering whether to take his annual bonus or not? It must be a difficult decision because his basic salary is only umpteen £m's a year, poor chap?
Then we have a high proportion of our young folk having to spend a fortune on getting a degree only to find no paid work at the end of it; a system devised by politicians with their 1st class ppp degrees from Oxbridge who hardly had to fork out a penny or two except for wine, women (or men) and song?
I have come to the conclusion that unbridled capitalism is just as bad (if not worse) than communism. There has to be a better middle path and don't look to the Labour party to provide it because this last lot have been exposed as a bunch of hypocrits imho.
