Cutting off private parts
Ok I haven't been to Zizzi restaurants in the past but I do remember feeling shocked when I first saw the word "Zizzi" for a restaurant. For those of you that are not Francophone, "Zizzi" in French slang means "penis". Thus when I read on the BBC's website that a man cut off his penis at the Zizzi on the Strand I couldn't help myself to cringe and at the same time laugh out loud!
This is what was reported on the BBC: "A spokeswoman for Zizzi said the man was not thought to have any connection with the restaurant.
She said: "At around 9pm on Sunday, a man walked into the Zizzi restaurant on The Strand, down the stairs to the basement restaurant area and tried to enter a kitchen.
"Members of staff stopped him, at which he ran into a second kitchen area.
"The man then picked up a kitchen knife and slashed himself across the wrist and groin areas before running back into the restaurant, where he continued to stab himself.
"This happened in a matter of seconds and was obviously extremely frightening and distressing for the many customers and staff in the restaurant at the time."
She added: "Apart from the man, we understand that no-one else suffered any physical injuries." "
