Well I’d Hate to Interrupt
Submitted by: Cambridge, UK via Oddly Specific
I’ve heard of the hills being alive with the sound of music, but never a park bench. That’s some damn talented furniture.

Strangely Particular Signage
I’m trying to work out how a bench could sing. And I’m stumped.
Seibee: Well, however they do it, they obviously can’t while someone’s talking. Very sensitive things, benches.
I’ve heard of a ruling from the bench, and getting an admonishment from the bench, but never singing. Is this anything to do with a statement ex cathedra? How about a cheerleading bench? http://lovelylisting.com/2010/01/chairtuday-chairleader-tryouts.html
Wow, instead of ruining everything for me, after reading the following article: http://www.livescience.com/technology/050614_benches_bins.html , I want to go visit them.
Any other Cambridge people remember the singing bins by The Junction?

Made me look them up…now I want to see them!
I….what….bu…..HUH!?
Where is this place? I think I’d like to visit there.
“I’m stumped”. Nice!
RE: Charlotte. I do! I’m glad someone else is from the Cambridge area
it seem it just a fart?
What a beautiful voice… *tear*
We’ve got benches near where I work (Canary Wharf, London, UK) that play classical music and recite poetry, but never sing.
the thing that scares me the most is theres no chinese text so this is not a bad translation, this says what it is meant to say… Benches Singing… Singing Benches… Benches that Sing
ssshhhhhhhh!!!!!!! i’m trying to listen to the singing benches.
Maybe this is at some kind of copycat Disney theme park?? Where else would a bench sing…?
Wow, these benches get more respect than my band does when we play at coffeehouses. Now they need to invent a cappuccino machine that refuses to run until the song is over.

Checked out the links above and now I want to go there, too.
Ah the bins and benches. The benches used to sing. The trash cans used to giggle to themselves – and then roll away on hidden wheels.
They were only supposed to be there for a short period of time, but I think they got rid of them early because the bins kept congregating in a huddle and giggling maniacally…
Raadec … D-R … hopefully you’re kidding and don’t think we need to translate Cambridge-ese into English 9_9
Location: less than two hours from me by road.
So it seems there are a lot of us Cambridge people that come to on this site! Surprisingly many. Maybe we should put down the mouse and go outside instead.
Aah the Brits… A nation that could invent “bubble and squeak” and actually eat “sweet breads” (look that one up if you don’t know…hint:Its not bread) could do ANYTHING! Nevertheless, I love Douglas Adams (the door says..”have a nice day!”) and Terry Pratchett (damned space turtles!). Can you just imagine trying to sit down on one of these benches: “I say, could you move that extrememly large American bum over to the next bench, and have a nice day!…).
These signs are indeed from outside The Junction. I go to the gym up there but for some reason I only hear them whilst staggering from a gig in a pissed manner.
There’s far too many cambridge-folk on here.
Oh, the plaza next to the multi-coloured (in tasteful “hues of the seventies” colour scheme) hotel. Never seen them there myself, must have missed them.
<——- Still listening
I sure hope they don’t sing while I’m sitting on them…could be interesting…and maybe a bit exciting?
that is weird
Dude I’m cool right?
Yeah I thought so
I’ve heard of benches drumming, getting a Ph.d at Harvard, and jogging, but never singing
i need to see these
on a related note, there’s a bin that sings and plays the guitar somewhere near john’s
