I know, Chris - isn't it quaint?

I saw it as I passed on my way top work. Thought it was probably a flash mob. I didn't know they still happened. Actually, though, it really did look like loads of fun.

My favourite little detail from the scene was at the side. Looking at all the feathers and millions of tiny bits of foam coming out of the pillows was one of those street cleaners with those really long tongs for picking up litter, muttering and picking up one piece of foam.
 
I'll start practicing now. :)

Loving the Manc blog. Flash mobbing though...isn't it just a little cuntish and, well, southern?
 
Can't believe I didn't know about this, I clearly must have had my head on a pillow -- sleeping! I wrote a wee article in 2003 about flash mobbing though I've not yet participated in one. It's on the to-do list... :-)
