A flash mob with a difference:

I think Guy Gorton would have enjoyed this if he was in London that day.

I remember flash mobs from about 15 years ago. They weren't funny then.
Nowadays people simply ignore them.

I assume you didn't actually watch the video? The Marylebone commuters
certainly didn't ignore this flash mob. And, no, it wasn't funny, or meant
to be.


I'd like to have been at the brainstorming session for "How do we raise
awareness for whatever is it this thing is about". Someone said flash mob
as a joke and it was the top idea!


Not funny, but joyously serious. And, unless the cameramen and
editors managed to mislead us, much enjoyed by many of the public.
Did it benefit Syria? Hopefully, it did - help is sorely needed.

I came across the thread by Recliiner early this morning before going
to church to play the organ for the first Sunday in Advent. It gave
me inspiration even though the message was rather different - and I
did not play any Handel but did play Bach and did try to encourage the
congregation to sing joyfully - which they did..
