English_Bob and the Salary Men

A funny thing happened to me over lunch time...

I was sitting outside a bar/restaurant in Emporium. The name of the place is 'Its happened to be a closet'... (I'm guessing a Thai owner created that name!)

Here's a picture of the place, so you can imagine the scene better... picture a bald white guy sitting at one of those tables looking slightly hungover and a bit cheesed off at the lousy service...

Anyway, a group of 5 Japanese Salarymen walked past, all dressed in suits.  They were looking at me and one began pointing and said, "English Bob.. blah blah blah English Bob"... I use 'blah blah blah' for the Japanese bits.

And then the others began, "Ahhh blah blah blah English Bob blah blah blah."

I was more than a bit concerned... it's AGES since I ripped off the Yakuza and I'm sure they wouldn't STILL be holding a grudge after all this time.

Then I realised they were looking behind me... at the restaurant, rather than me.

 

As they continued speaking, I realised they were saying "blah blah blah English Pub..."!!!

It was a bit weird to say the least... but that's my fault for being paranoid and having a silly name.

wahahahahaha... funny, indeed!

FYI, This shop at first they started their business by having a fashion shop in Siam Square then it become famous later on with their unique style so they have been doing restaurant under the same name - I can't recall for how long and since when. A friend of mine really like some of their bread and cookies.

Forget to make a comment. that ITHAPPENSTOBEACLOSEt is the most utterly ripped off overly priced clothing store on earth. they can't survive on selling clothes alone. Good concept, but i ain't paying 7000 baht for a tutu skirt.

that's why the cafe came in.
