In Gas Panic in Roppongi they'll very happily bend over forwards.

Much preferred

Mind you, that's a pretty sick name for a bar in Tokyo given what happened in the subway courtesy of Aum.

I used to frequent a bar in Kobe called Fanny Smile. It should have been "Funny Smile", but they don't really have the "fu" sound in Japanese, so they thought it sounded the same. Regrettably I pointed out their mistake one night after a few too many Sapporo's, and was invited to leave.

With Germany acquiring satellite states at knock down rates through the back door is it wise to be offering then a bigger slice of Europe?

Promising , but you can't judge a cafe by it's name.
