Professor of Incompetence Studies

first I knew of this was showing up to meet a friend for a late-lunch coffee a couple of weeks back. no lease sign on the door, no "we've moved to..." sign, just a closed, empty cafe in the heart of the CBD, in the heart of Coffee Town.

 

today the buzz was some signage put up by the building's owner, the incomparable Sir Robert 'Bob' Jones. Erudite, outspoken, and more right than Winston Peters, Sir Bob is a self-made multi-millionaire property investor, author, and some time boxing promoter. Clearly a spat has developed, with the former proprietor closing up shop.

 

Sir Bob is clearly not amused. Well, perhaps a little bemused? Everyone else reading the sign got a good laugh.

 

life in a small town.
