“i hear another one planed that involves a balloon and a pin”

“£80 raised by 100's of people? Come on, if you raise money for charity do it properly. I would give that much to be able to walk round Cabot Circus rather than be pesstered by idiots 'standing still'. So what it energises people so does work, helping people and generally getting a life. So come on , be energised by cleaning up our city. Raise money for charity by working rather than standing still and creating havoc”

“Can the people that think that this is a nuisance and unnecessary and pointless please wake up? It is ¿performing art¿ it is creative and unusual it is supposed to get the public interested and talking about it that is the point of these ¿flashmobs¿ it inspires individuals and indeed groups of humans to come together and be a part in these artistic and unusual events. I bet the people that can¿t see it is art or in anyway amusing are soulless, I for one wouldn¿t like to spend an evening in the company of someone who doesn¿t find many things interesting.. Come on don¿t be shy have ago next time you might raise a smile on that face.”

“Young people blocking thoroughfares in Bristol, not moving with blank expressions on their face...Just a normal Saturday in Cabot Circus.

Seriously, good cause and fun. Well done!”

“Mike B If the collection was a last minute thought that makes it worse. The freeze was just gratuitous nuiscence then - albeit Cabot Circus could do with a purpose.
People joining in this sort of waste of time should use their time more selflessly.

I never have enough time in my life to do all the (worthwhile) stuff I am into!!”

“In response to Steve, Glastonbury
If you had followed the Facebook groups efforts leading up to this "Freeze" event, you would realise that the collection for Charity was a last-minute change in the plans by the organiser, so the amount collected was admittedly small. Had the aim of the event been a Charity collection then I'm sure the amount collected would have been much bigger, so . . . . STOP MOANING about their efforts :-(
It's people who are always grumbling about what other people do that need to "Get A Life". The Freeze was live. The Freeze was spectacular. the Freeze was a 'work of art' . .:D . . :D . . :D”

“This raised a smile and a cheer and many a bewildered look, just like the editors comment in the Evening post this was done instead of the typical immature stereotype that more ¿mature¿ (if you can call them that?) adults have branded them as being inept and staring at a computer screen. It just goes to show that the young adults of today have a sense of humour and can actually put together a creative piece of ¿art¿ if you find it absurd or pointless just don¿t comment and show some maturity. I honestly cant believe the many negative comments from people of my age towards the younger generation, we are as bad as the minority of them which lets them down.”

“Sorry folks but you need to get a life. If you could only raise £80 between you with all that effort just think what a real fundraising endeavour might do. You could have raised £80 by putting in a quid or two each. Use some imagination and raise £800! No better cause to raise money for though!”

“carefull Al you might raise a smile.”

“UWE student Martin Cassidy said: "Just got back - that was great.

"Does anyone think that was noticed enough to make it to a local paper?"

Obviously Martin doesn't read the Evening Post very often otherwise he would know that the BEP print storyless articles all the time! Luckily for the flash mob it wasn't snowing and Girl Band weren't singing otherwise they would have struggled for column inches!”
