Digital Photography plus Urdu
My (otherwise very smart) girlfriend asked me, having taken a few shots using the family's new digital camera, if I was going to get it developed before she went back to work on the continent. Yes, she did know it was digital.

Also, my "grandfather" - my Mum's stepdad - is a racist old fart, despite having been posted to India when he was in the Army and speaking pretty good Urdu. Despite having a knowledge of Ukraine and Ukrainian politics that could be written on the back of a postage stamp in large print, over Xmas he commented on the inherent instability of the Ukrainian character. Prat.
