Thomas Flohr: The high-flying multi-millionaire - FrontMotion Firefox 15 September 2013Last updated at 19:09 ET By Will Smale Business reporter, BBC News As international, multi-millionaire jetsetters go, Thomas Flohr certainly looks the part. With his tan, stubble, swept back hair, and jeans and jacket combination, he is the type of man you can picture stepping off a private plane after flying in from somewhere exotic. It is a pretty apt image because Mr Flohr owns a large fleet of private jets. The Swiss national is the founder, boss, and 100% owner of VistaJet, the world's fastest-growing airline you have probably never heard of, and most probably can only dream of affording to use.

He did not know what he could use it for, so he tried lots of different things. It wasn't very good at holding water, and was pretty rubbish at transporting rocks. It didn't keep meat fresh, and while it did make pleasing scrunchy noises, or could be blown up and hit with a hand to go BANG, it wasn't the same afterwards.

The Autumn Arrival Checklist If you don’t have a social media account or a window, you may not be aware, but it has happened. Autumn has made its gentle descent upon the UK, with all the grace and charm of a drunk ballet dancer with an obesity problem. One minute we were frolicking in parks wearing nothing but gravity defying bikinis and a knowing smile, and now we have been plunged into a darkened world of oppressive woollens and umbrellas gouging at our eyes. If you were in any doubt as to it officially being autumn, here’s my handy guide to spotting the signs.

The first sign that autumn has struck, is the sore thumb sticking out that is The Idiot in Denial.
