HOWEVER MUCH FUN THIS LOOKS LIKE, IT WAS MORE FUN.
Oh, man. What a day. I was in Trafalgar Square from one o'clock, and you could tell who was there for the flashmob - we were all starting to mill around and look out for our man who would start it off - dressed as Mike from Spaced, too! I hooked up with a bunch of people from Staines with whom I spent the rest of the day with; possibly some of the weirdest, funniest people I've ever met.
Anyway, people are starting to build up, the crowds are getting thicker, the cameras out, and suddenly "Mike" appears in the middle, and we rather unsubtly grouped around him; I was right in the middle! He and two friends do the dialogue from the show about male telepathy, and then...
...well. WHAM BLAM THANK YOU MA'AM.
We were all ridiculously hyper for hours after that; it was incredible. A girl of our lot, Vicki, took another (better quality) video which has me in it; I'll share it as soon as she uploads it. Anyway, we all grouped together and (after a rousing shout of "TO THE PUB!") ended up travelling to the house from Spaced, then going a ridiculously long way on the Tube to end up at the Corribb's Rest, the main pub in the show, and generally geeking out. It. Was. EPIC.
I would go into more detail, but I'm exhausted and bedraggled and my laptop is acting up. Just keep an eye out for newspaper stories; we were talking to a reporter at one point.
LET 'EM HAVE IT.
