I'm a professional hysteric, and am highly valued, by those who pay for my services.

Supply, and demand.

If there isn't any demand, and no wants to part with money, in exchange for what's being offered, supply ceases.

Quaint concept for some to get their head round, I know.

On your last point, don't worry.

When my last good typing finger no longer does as I want it to, I'll sellotape an old biro to my forehead, and I'll carry on tapping away.

Carry on tapping out, what I believe to be the truth. That being that the majority of people don't agree that their hard earned taxes are spent on such fripperies as 'community art'. More so, when the country is in the dire straits it currently is.

Financially, and morally, the vanity of state funded art is unaffordable.

Doesn't it make a difference to you, even though you say art isn't of interest to you, that you're funding it, regardless as to whether you want to, or not?

If someone was struggling to keep a roof over their familys' heads, and hard to find money to keep them warm and fed, they'd be pretty stupid spending money having the front door painted.

State funded art schemes seem unwanted, by the vast majority of people, who see very little value and worth in them, both finacially and artistically.

Still, it's only 'two bob' of your money...or £2,000.00, to be more precise, if you want to teach the next generation of Banksys to pefect their tag in an Accrington park, before sharing their graffiti with us on a lager scale.

Perhaps we should also be applying for funding for those young people who have an interest in knives, mugging, and nicking cars, so they can have a more creative outlet, other than that already supplied by schools, youth groups etc.

In the the late twenties and early nineteen thirties young people also stood on street corners. Mainly because there was no jobs, and they were hungry.

They didn't 'wreck parks', or need state funding to stimulate their creativity, and keep them out of trouble.

They needed state funding to put some food in the bellies.

They didn't need a bribe, to make them behave in a civilised fashion.

Throwing money at a problem, doesn't necessarily solve it.

There is a lot made in this day and age of young people being respected, the only difference when we were young is you received that respect when you'd earned it, not as a right

We were informed of the costs of all the other events, including the costs of the flash mob, which had yet to happen. Which makes people wonder why this event is different from the rest.

The fact that the cost of the flash mob was stated as one thousand pounds, that being the fee paid to the dance teacher, when infact it was £1,160.00, is neither here nor there.

That could be before the Victorian Swimming Gala has happened.

Doesn't sound like particularly good Google Page Ranking, not to be honest and open about it, at this present time.

I really wonder what the hell is going on up there...money is being spent like it's going out of fashion...Fifteen thousand on free bags of grit for Hyndburn's wealthy...two thousand quid on some junk mail called the 'Beacon' (how well will that burn, I wonder?)....another couple of thousand for some idiots to cavort on Broadway. Have the powers-that-be gone completely bonkers?

Flashmob FAQs | Flashmob.co.uk


What is a Flash Mob?
It’s a sudden gathering of people into a crowd that do something unusual for a few minutes in unison and then disperse.
Who runs Flash Mobs?
Flash mobs are run by individual people for the fun of it. There are no organisations behind real Flash Mobs, though there have been many gatherings using Flash Mob principles organised by commercial interests.
How can I go to a Flash Mob?
You need to find a group that is close to your location flashmob.co.uk should be one of your choices for keeping in touch by reading the site and following us on Twitter and you could through social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace for groups setting up Flash Mobs.
Do I need props?
Generally no, though themed flashmobs are on the increase, but if an item is needed you will be notified in the instructions e-mailed to you.
Can I dress up for a Flash Mob?
Generally this is frowned upon as the idea is for a crowd to suddenly appear out of nowhere and if everyone is dressed as clowns it may just give the game away!
Can you do a Flash Mob for my product launch?
Several corporates have tried this, the first to really jump on the bandwagon were the band Jane’s Addiction and certain news media companies did their own banana based stunt in London. Yes you can do a commercial version of flash mobbing but don’t expect any help from traditional Flash mob organisers - if you can find them. The whole spirit of the idea gets a little bit tainted as soon as anyone tries to use flash mobs as a communication exercise and the public can be quite cynical about your objectives. But if you do go ahead then do remember that success relies on ordinary members of the public enjoying themselves - how would you feel being used to promote something you may not believe in.
There has never been a Flash Mob in my town, can I set one up?
Yes go ahead and do it - enjoy yourself. If you need help and tips then get in contact by e-mail with the organisers of other flash mob groups who will give you plenty of advice. Look for contact details on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace or flash mob websites, or Yahoo/Google Groups.

Flashmob Dancing Accy | Flashmob.co.uk

On 20th November, between 1pm and 2pm, there will be a Flash Mob in Accrington Town Centre. Four dances will happen during the hour. Assemble on Broadway in Accrington to watch and join in.
This is phase 3 of project called Liberating Empty Terrain which aims to bring people back into Accrington Town Centre. Phase 1 and 2 included Mapping Accy, Animating Accy and Crotcheting Accy.
This project is co-funded by Hyndburn Borough Council and the Arts Council via Creativity Works and is part of a Pennine Lancashire Initiative to reinvigorate town centres.

plymouth's:
It’s getting cold and everyone needs a hug right? So how about we get as many of the good people of plymouth in the same place, at the same time and share a hug with friends and strangers to let eachother know that actually, most people really are cool and friendly.
so, the plan- everyone turn up on armada way between the big sundial and the big screen at about 1:55pm on the 13th of november and keep an eye on the clock on the big screen, so at 2pm exactly…hug a friend, hug a stranger, hug your mum, hug my mum, hug both our mums at the same time, hug whoever you want to hug.
the rules
1- respect other people’s personal space, ask someone if they want a hug before you go for it
2-hugs will go on as long as they have to
3-no bottom pinching. see rule 1.
4-invite your friends and let’s see how many people we can have hugging at once

Now go forth and spread the word!
Invite everyone you know who thinks life is better when you’ve just had a hug, everyone who believes strangers are really nice people as well and everyone who still thinks love can change the world!

Leeds:
At 3pm on saturday the 25th of november we meet up at a site yet to be decided sync watches then head to the centre of brigate in leeds. People need to looks like they are going about there general business but be around the right area as soon as it hits 3pm people freeze for 5min and then carry on after the 5 min has gone.

Manchester:
To take place in the centre of Manchester. A flashmob about giving, interacting with strangers and simple kindness, because we don’t have enough of that, right? A massive group of people will assemble and as the clocks strike 12pm, get on their knees, and present to a complete stranger a gift. It could be small and seemingly insignificant - a balloon, or a banana, or a spoon. Or it could be your red Ferrari as you have one lying around, cluttering the drive. Whatever you want. It’s time to put a (bemused) smile on someone’s face! Check out our website at mobtogive.tumblr.com


Theyre simple .. dont need to learn a dance ..

A comic work of art.

Priceless.

But you're still bottom of the heap.

Oh Guiness thanks for the memories, unfortunately you are useless for anything else, we've all moved on since then except...

YOU?

And yes again, garinda keeps the site alive, but that dont mean he's fire proof and cant be assailed by us lurkers when we think he is wrong.

Again, no thanks, in helping promote the event.

I'm sure we'll all have learnt the steps soon, and we'll then consider it money very well spent.

Although if you'd gone down the more tradition route, the costs would have been zilch...

Approach local dance schol. Find out who is good, and perhaps wants to dance as a career. Ask if they'd help video an easy to learn sequence, which would be filmed, after promissing them you'll write a reference, if/when they apply to study dance at college, and perhaps throw in a new pair of leg-warmers.

Make sure details of event, and video showing what people should do at allotted time of flash mob, are sent to every school, youth club, community centre, whoever else might be interested, in the area.

Sit back, and watch it happen.

No fees, no admin. charges, no charge for performance co-ordination.

Nothing required from the public purse at all.

A great fat zero, and a saving of £1,160.00

That has to be a first, even for an accyweb pedant/troll/spammer....quoting and responding to ones own post..

There's always one...sits at the end of the bar, bores the crap out of everyone, keeps on harping on the same point..over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Why not just use copy/paste and a disclaimer..something along the lines of 'here is yet another post from me in this thread where I am posting the same thing AGAIN but one or two words may be added in yet another vain attempt at humour/wit/sarcasm/irony/name dropping' (delete as appropriate)
