Has Anyone Ever Seen A Flash Mob?

[sandyRoe]

I think it's a great gift from the organisers to whoever comes across one.
Just a near midnight thought.

[retrocop]

eh?

Imagine you were walking through a shopping mall and you came across the band of the metropolitan police playing 'A policeman's lot is not a happy one', would you not consider that a serindipitius moment?

[sandyRoe]

It's good to see you back

I never have. But I do enjoy the sight of a impromptu stranger playing a piano kindly placed in the middle of a railway station or wherever.

I’ve had a few hospital appointments recently and there is a piano in the main reception area. On a number of the visits, someone has been playing. Listening to the music was a very pleasant way to pass the time spent waiting.

Thanks Sandy
I think I would consider it was rank and file members of the Police Federation campaigning against poor pay and unfair working conditions. :-)

Here is a good one to start with (Hello, Sandy )

[sandyRoe]

Wolf63,
That's full of energy and life.
Ta.

They are fabulous Sandy .

Energy - something that evades me at present.

There are loads of fun videos on youtube - I could watch animal videos for hours.

wolf, should you not be full of excitement at the prospect of the Prince of Wales visiting your faraway land?

[wolf63]

jno, Ouch - I bet he felt unloved. When the Queen and Zorba the Greek visited in the late 70s there were crowds of excited people everywhere. These days we seem to have lost our love of the royals.

My brother was saying that when Trump visited a few weeks back there was a pipe band waiting to serenade him. It seemed like a nice gesture from the locals. Then he informed me that Trump had arranged for the band to play and had paid for it.

Does this count as a Flash mob?

;-)

[jno]

I must say this one lacks a certain dynamism

[Buenchico]

^^^ They're not a flash mob, Jno. They're just a bunch of English waiters on holiday, moving at their usual speed ;-)

I avoid the kind of people who would get involved in this stuff.

Well once upon a time a group of men disgusted my wife.
Was that a flash mob?

Just last Wednesday I was walking to the monthly Mobile Library Bus at lunch time.
A young songstress was there, with her 'box of tricks' for backing etc.. She was a 'retro-singer' and we chose books to the sound of such as 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B'. When the handful of book-changers emerged, she carried on singing for another 10 mins.. It was really great and I was dancing in the street in the sunshine whilst others watched, listened and applauded.
Turned out the E. Riding Lib. Service have organised a month of events to raise awareness. Good for them. :) I wrote to the local paper to say thank you and they published my letter.

Yes, fist time in Cyprus at the King Alexander hotel,we were having Sunday lunch when the band of the Royal Marines appeared in their whites, they marched into the pool in full uniform and played their instruments
Another time in Gateshead Metro Centre
