A plane enroute from Newark, NJ to Buffalo, NY crashed into a home five miles from the airport Thursday night. All 49 people onboard the plane died and one person on the ground, two people, a mother and daughter, who lived in the house which was hit survived.
This is the first fatal plane crash in the U.S. since 2006.

mjws, you do realize of course that a sustained diet of Big Macs could be just as bad for you as a one-off fugu dinner prepared by an incompetent, unlicensed chef?

An oddity I picked up on the radio news today
Irems left behind by guests in a Travelodge Hotel over the last year included 3 false legs, a life size cut out of Lenny Henry (British Comedian for those of you who don't know him), a stuffed crocodile and a race horse.

Having just stayed in a Travelodge I can understand that (never again), people are in such a hurry to get out of there that they are bound to forget things.

How about the ICC issuing a warrant charging the President of Sudan with war crimes against his people? I doubt if much will come from this.

They will have to fight their way through his army to get him, I cant see him volunteering to surrender, and I also think it is wrong that they backed down from the more serious but more accurate charge of genocide, which is exactly what Darfur was. According to the Guardian, "Bashir is regarded as a proud and egotistical man who reacts aggressively to perceived slights against him", so this will be a long drawn out process, there is also the possibility he wont recognise what he sees as a Christian court. This dictator, who has deliberately cultivated close trade ties with Russia and China to guarantee their support in the UN, is going nowhere fast.

A disgruntled 16-year-old was arrested in Attleborough, Norfolk,UK yesterday after police received a call from a man in Montreal. J.P. Neufeld, a student at Concordia University, was in an internet chat room when he read the teenager's threat to burn down his high school! He called the Attleborough police and told them about the threat. The teenager had a can of petrol, some matches and a knife in his possession when police arrested him.

My policy states that if it's anything other than natural causes everything goes to London Lighthouse, it guarantees that despite a money grabbing materialistic family one has a fighting chance of making it to old age lol.

I love it! SW Airlines used to have a 'reality' type show, with real customers, airport employees, etc.

Posh part of Bedford?
Btw.....in the days when I was able to claim expenses, 25p per mile if over 20 mile (nothing if under), it would have heartened me to learn that some people would be able to claim "Adult Films" as expenses........entertainment?

I believe that they were billed as something like Additional Services. Don't you just love euphemisms? And don't you feel eternally privileged at being allowed to contribute, out of your hard-earned and hard-taxed income, to the - er - comfort of our leading citizens and their families?
