“You’d really like my friend so-and-so” or “I should really introduce you to my friend so-and-so”. You’ve probably thought this about two of your friends who haven’t been introduced. Now you can introduce them on The Bench. Arrange a meeting between two of your friends on a bench in the city. In return, your friend should arrange a meeting between you and one of his/her friends. Afraid that you’ll have nothing to say? Don’t worry. You’ll get an iPod containing instructions.
