Now why on would you want to do something like organise a meet? Surely you can just let it sort itself out

Mel

Well, exactly; it pretty much organised itself last time

All you've got to do is name a Pub and give a time, surely

Mel

Pretty much, though I'll have to ring and book at the pub, as we'l be taking over the whole bar

I suppose that's only polite.

What was that site where they used to organise random meetups and just turn up at a sofa store in London or something equally random!

Mel

I'm not sure, wasn't it a weird thing based on mobile phones, where people would all turn up in say London, then all get a phone call/txt to say all go to X place, and they'd all descend on a store for like ten minutes or something, then all wonder off? Can't remember what they called it now.... It was on the radio about it a few months back...

That sounds about right, I want to say 'buzz' them but although it may have had the same effect I know it's not the right term!

Ah bingo http://www.flashmob.com/

All I had to do was google for 'sofa store london'!

Mel

Good work batman Flash mob.. yes, that was it

Can't I be woman instead?

I'm much more feline than y and I'm definitely female

Mel

Its just a turn of phrase you know, but woman it is

I know it's just a turn of phrase (I use them all the time much to my annoyance, you would have thought I could find something original )

Though in these terribly PC times you have to be so careful

Saying that someone I was chatting to on another thread has only just worked out that I'm female
