I was lunching early at Delifrance in Silom yesterday and there was something very noisy going on, complete with Westerners who should have known better. Everyone was wearing t-shirt with the slogan "We will not let you quit" which I thought must be either a pro-smoking or a pro-Thaksin vigil. Lots of noisy and vigorous gymnastics was going on, performed by a dance troupe; some of it consisted of throwing girls in the air. However it turned out to be a campaign for the Wall Street college of English language, a branch of which is next to Delifrance. Apart from the noise and the fact that the girls being tossed were caught rather than being left to splatter on the footpath, the young male members of the troupe included some of the ugliest Thai youths I've ever seen
