    Klargester is an um, interesting name. I'm now guessing that it digests klarg. I've never heard it called that before but it's a fantastic word that I can now chuck around ad nauseum without anyone knowing I'm being rude. "My computer has just crashed, oh klarg." "Klarg, I'm going to be late for my train." and so on...

    I assumed that the etymology of Klargester was Klar (German for clear) and gester (abbreviated form of digester), the idea being that it outputs lovely, clear water that's fit for ..... umm, not quite sure?

    On second thoughts, I prefer your version. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    For drinking. Our klarg goes in the klargester where klar drinking water is created and returned to the water table. You are all potentially benefitting from my Eco klarg klaring option for sewage. The more klarg we klar then klarg the more is returned to the water table and klarg, the chance of it ending up in a Brita filter near you soon is greater.


    Considering we just keep using the same water over and over water recycling seems preety sound. That said, I have no desire to drink our klar water from the klargester full of our klarg directly. I am gung ho, but not that much.

    For the last hour I've been trying to get ebay to load and search .... still not managing it.

    Connection's dire, signal's weak .... and Internet keeps dropping - doubly annoying as it's showing all the signs of being online, but pages don't load.

    ... and then I lost the internet again - took me 15 minutes to get back on to complete this post :)

    I have been at half-work. This is entirely my own invention. It is where you go to work, twiddle your thumbs for an hour, email a few innocent bystanders then jump up and say "well glad you are all managing so well" and leave.
