Somerset-West - Late on Saturday afternoon chaos literally descended from above on the Tallahassee Spur in Somerset Mall.

The cause?

Two young men who planned to abscond without paying their bill.

But their getaway plan - "escaping" through the bathroom ceiling - turned out to be somewhat flawed.

The one had nearly crawled to a spot above the restaurant entrance when the ceiling gave way and he landed with a bang on an unsuspecting diner's table.

Although it was not officially confirmed, a fist fight ensued.

I thought that this only happened in Mercurial's 'Overseas' posts. I was mistaken as we too have some 'not so bright' individuals (Outside the gauvament that is). ;)
 
i know times is hard, but I never realised how hard it really is on some ppl.
 
haha! Can imagine it now. The usual Spur scene:

Spur Staff: ...HAPPY BIIIIIIIIRTHDAY DEAR JON **KERBLAAAAM!!!**...ATHAN, HAPPY...BIRTHDAY.....TO (sparkler fizzles out)...YOU.
 
Right after that everybody got involved in the fistfight. :D
 
The waiter probably started the fight cos he was the moer in for losing his tip... :D

Poor waiters don't earn much. Do you know that most restaurants don't pay their waiters any salary. They only earn tips. Spur is one of those.
 
The intruder's blood is said to have spattered as far as the nearby Salad Valley.
<--- no surprise, there's always blood on the Salad Valley.

Leon Liebenberg, the duty manager that afternoon, confirmed a basic version of events. He wasn't sure what the two men had had to eat, but knew they had had a few beers.

Yeah beer doesn't make people do that. Must have been quite an exotic meal (meat) to make them trip out like that.
 
Ha ha, reminds me of that one Jackass stunt where they fall through the ceiling of that office block and the chap runs scared across the road.
