Good morning all, we had a tremendous thunderstorm here this morning. Everything was vibrating from the thunder and there was amazing lightening.

BBC NEWS | Business | Airbus superjumbo for private use
An unnamed buyer at the Paris air show has placed an order for an Airbus A380 superjumbo to use as a private jet.

Airbus said the individual, "not from Europe or the US", would use the plane for "personal use for him and his entourage", AFP news agency reported.

The double-decker, which is thought to have cost $300m (£150m), has 900 sq m (10,000 sq ft) in cabin space and has room for up to 840 passengers.

It is expected to take more than a year to convert the jet for private use.

You don't need to donate to charity to feel all warm inside. Researchers have found that even when money is taken from some people involuntarily, they feel good about the transaction, as long as the funds go to a good cause. The findings may force economists to rethink just what guides our response to taxes and other financial decisions.

Does half a dozen oysters, bread and a bottle of rosé taken by the quayside count as breakfast or not?

Sounds like the breakfast of the gods to me!  And a movable feast, of course.

I just can't wrap my head around the idea of eating something that's alive and going to be squiriming in your stomach for the next hour or so.

And they call it an aphrodisiac !!!!
