Weird trivia heard at random
Did you know that the roof of the Royal Albert Hall is not actually attached to the building? It simply sits there, held on by nothing but its massive weight.

I took a tour of it when I was in London. It wasn't mentioned that I remember but that's pretty interesting

‘I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn you on’
Apparently, the Hall had a bit of a snit about it back in the day.

@Lilnonames I always thought they were saying "the House of Parl," i.e., the Houses of Parliament. Live and learn.

@bleach Yes. That's where I saw it. I'm now watching him float on a helium balloon in a French blimp hanger.
