Odd Stories On The BBC
Perhaps because it is Saturday, four of the most read stories on the BBC, are a bit odd or offbeat.
Thermal invisibility cloak in first demonstration
North Korea’s silent football matches
Turning a scandal into a ‘-gate’
Fake airline pilot ‘landed planes at Gatwick’
Although the science behind the first, may find applications in cooling electronics and I wouldn’t like to be flown by a fake pilot.
Music On The East London Line
Today, it’s the Soundtracks Festival, with live musical acts on the East London Line, from midday to midnight.
This paragraph is from their poster.
Catch our live performances on the trains – from musicians, actors and even
via your smartphone. Train drivers will be announcing the next live act
rather than looming delays as you are entertained on your journey from
one venue to the next.
Think London Transport is boring? Then youʼve never been to Sound Tracks.
Note how Transport for London (TfL) is called London Transport. Most Londoners refer to it that way. The only time, I use the other form is when I use TFL in Google to find their site.
Do any other rail lines have their own music or even drama festivals?
