a freind of mine told me about summin like this flash raves where everyone would turn up and dance to their own music
he got a little peeved when i said it sounded somewhat contrived

I've been in a silent disco tent at a festival and it was pretty cool in a novelty way for about 10 minutes (the cool bit being when you take your headphones off and it's really quiet).
I have a few friends who have tried to persuade me to go to one of these flashmob silent ipod dance things which seem to have undergone a resurgence recently (in honour of a bloody tmobile advert
) and I'd rather cut my own balls off then do that. Very "zany" and "wacky".
I believe there's one in Trafalgar Square tonight if anyone is desperate to experience it. Not
IMHO!

This is the kind of thing I would say I like, and then Dodgepot would come along and call me wacky.

tbf, it all started at festivals didn't it? Like people have said, to avoid causing disturbance to the residential areas around?
Fuck knows why people would bother with them in normal life.

fuck disturbing the locals , if they cant handle peeps having fun for 1 / 2 nights of the year then they should really get a life or at least remember what it was like to have one

I went, I liked, for half an hour or so, I went home happy.
I fuckin' hate being called wacky. FUCK THE FUCK OFF. Do I fuckin' look like Timmy Mallet to you? (not you, but whoever is saying wacky, I fuckin' hate even typing the cunting word).

I agree! I hope dodgepot sees this.
He will probably say I do look like Timmy Mallet though.
I can just predict it now.

I'm not sure dodgepot is in any position to call anyone 'wacky' in a derisory manner.

Picture the scene. You walk into a nightclub and you see 1000's of people all dancing but you can't hear any music? One of the DJ's starts to play some Michael Jackson next thing you know half the crowd is singing "Billie Jean" while the other half of the crowd are chanting "last night" by the strokes! It's like nothing you have ever experienced before! Not to mention a Silent Disco is the perfect way to combat noise pollution and keep your neighbours happy while you party later than possible with traditional systems.
Banging!

I do that every morning. It's called 'commuting' and no one dances.

Glad I'm not the only one who does the occasional little shimmy when a good tune comes on

Sounds like something i would like to try out, for about 20 minutes at the most, just once, to 'tick it off' .... and probably never again
