THOUSANDS of train passengers were delayed for FIVE hours yesterday because of "shampoo on the tracks".

British holidaymakers trapped in stations across the South of France were among those astounded by the announcement.

The delays occurred after a high-speed TGV travelling from Montpellier to Paris hit a truck full of hair cleaner at a level crossing in Lunel-Viel at around 12.30pm.

Nobody was injured, but gallons of shampoo poured across the line, meaning nothing could move until a mass clean-up operation was finished.

A spokesman for SNCF, France's national rail operator, said: "The shampoo made the line slippery and extremely difficult for trains.

"Some 20 inter-city services were delayed and this affected some 3000 passengers who were delayed until around 5.30 in the afternoon."

French high speed trains are packed with Brits in July, many travelling to and from the Riviera resorts.

Most are used to bizarre excuses from train companies at home, which have included "the wrong type of snow" and "excessive heat on the track...

You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who does not associate the Christmas holiday with the twinkling, nostalgic glow of fairy lights. Since the advent of electricity, decoration with light has been an important part of the holiday season. Major metropolises and small towns alike string party lights hither and yon to help spread the cheer of the season.

Few cities decorate to the extent of New York City. Famed department stores such as Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue are renowned for their annual holiday window displays while the lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza never fails to make international news. South St. Seaport and Bryant Plaza are just a few of the many public areas in the Big Apple which receive the holiday lighting treatment. Every December tour companies feature guided bus tours throughout Manhattan to visit the twinkling lights installed each year.

You may be surprised to learn that Tokyo, Japan rivals New York City in the vastness and variety of its holiday lighting decorations. While primarily a Buddhist country Japan has a romantic attachment to the Christmas holiday. The famed Ginza street of neon grows doubly bright w...

Rick Ross

Teflon Don

(Def Jam)

Beats: XXL
Lyrics: XL
Originality: L

Teflon Don, indeed. In the face of the criticism involving his life before rap, Miami’s Rick Ross still manages to emit an untouchable aura. Credit his string of three No. 1 albums, beginning with his 2006 debut, Port of Miami, then 2008’s Trilla and last year’s Deeper Than Rap. If not that, then take into account his high-powered feature verses alongside Waka Flocka Flame (“O Let’s Do It [Remix]”), DJ Khaled (“All I Do Is Win”) and his Dream Team cohort P. Diddy (“Angels” and “Hello Good Morning”). While his rock-solid catalog should vanquish any doubt, the Bawse looks to cement his musical gangsta on his fourth Def Jam album.

Ricky Rozay shines bright on the tongue-in-cheek “I’m Not a Star.” Oozing a kingpin’s confidence, Ross proves his haters wrong, triumphantly spitting, “I’m not a star? Somebody lied/I spent a milli on the car, it come alive.” ...
