200-mile long lightning bolt recorded over Oklahoma. Probably would have stopped there but saw that it was Oklahoma and decided to move on.

Especially since they're now plastic and you can't make a plane out of them.

£4.99 for steak & chips, plus a drink. Pity there isn't a 'sizzling pub' near (enough) to me.
Might be of use to someone though.

...I'm one of those daft sods who have paid bills all of my adult life without ever checking how much I'm paying or if I can get cheaper elsewhere. I'm going to give Sky a ring today to see if they will reduce my £120 per month and the Water people are coming to fit a meter.
Worth doing. I rang sky last month and threatened to cancel. I got £30 off my monthly bill.

Our water people wanted over a grand for a years worth of water! They are actually coming out in a couple of weeks to have a look at the meter to see why we have used so much considering that is massively high for a years worth. To put it into perspective, we have used less electricity than water in comparison.
best thing in regards to sky mate is to bin it off altogether. Probably heard of them but the little android boxes are boss and save you a fortune. I pay 38 for the internet (for higher speeds) and that is it, can watch whatever i want on it. Even get all the channels to a certain extent, and started to pay a tenner a month sub to get all the channels fully supported plus all of the matches in decent quality. a tenner a month for every everton game, even the norwich one was on it.
....just got similar, almost £30 per month off for 12months.

Bloody hell, that CJ off eggheads may have killed somebody.
CJ de Mooi, a former panellist on the BBC quiz show Eggheads, has been arrested on a European arrest warrant under his real name Joseph Connagh for an alleged killing, Scotland Yard said.
The 46-year-old from Monmouthshire was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday, according to Metropolitan Police.
The warrant issued in the Netherlands relates to an allegation of murder.
Mr Connagh will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
He revealed in his autobiography that he may have killed a man while he lived on the streets two decades ago.
He said he punched a man who approached him with a knife and then threw him into a canal in Amsterdam in 1988.
He wrote in his autobiography: "He caught me on the wrong day and I just snapped."
He added: "I fully suspect I killed him. I've no idea what happened to him."
Mr Connagh, originally from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, became a panellist on the BBC Two show, which features five quiz champions competing as a team against different challengers, in 2003 after winning a series of game shows.
He adopted the name de Mooi when modelling.
