The Indian Tailor

Aaaah, October is nearly over. Means the end of the year is getting closer.

I went shopping last night. I needed to buy some shirts and shit for my trip to Italy next month. Apparently it's semi formal. So fuck me I don't have any clothes that resemble formal. I hate wearing that shit. It's the worst part of having a job like mine, got to wear silly clothes.

To make it worse I got to wear a freaking tie. I'm so going to hate it. And to make my trip even worse, it's to Italy, home of the WORLD CUP CHEATS 2006.

Anyways, here I am out looking for shirts. Talk about cheap. Bout 10 bucks Aussie and the labels were cut off. God knows where it's from. Fits ok. I feel like a weirdo wearing it. Didn't let the missus see them. She'd make me wear them all the time

One thing about Thailand that really pisses you off is the Indians. There is a 7 11 every 50 metres just about. In between said 7 11 is an Indian Tailor. No matter how many times you walk past in the same day, and how many times you say no, they still try to get you to come in and buy a suit. Here is an excerpt from a web site on a typical conversation between one of these assholes and a foreigner;

Indian: Please sir, come inside sir. What country you from?
Foreigner: No thanks.
Indian: Come inside, you can see.
Foreigner: I'm not interested.
Indian: [Grabs Foreigner's arm] Good price sir.
Foreigner: Let go of me. I don't want it. Fuck off.
Indian: I make good price for you.
Foreigner: WHAT PART OF FUCK OFF DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
Indian: I not understand. I not speak English.

There's one guy on Beach Road that every time I walk past he mimics the Aussie 'G'day mate'. Even if I haven't been in that area for weeks, he still remembers me. One night while drunk I clasped my hands behind my back to stop him from trying to shake my hand, and when he gestured for the handshake I politely told him Aussie style to fuck off and annoy someone that gives a fuck. My girlfriend wasn't impressed. She told me that he is just trying to do his job. I told her I'm just trying to get drunk and he is hindering my progress.

Anyways, enough about these towel head morons. I got to go eat some food.
