Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

Being Bilingualrocks.
Sit on a bus in London, listen to Swedish people speak of veneral diseases, who they shagged and taking the piss out of the people around them, blissfully unaware that someone is listening to every word.
Even better to loudly translate everything they're saying to your mates and then watch their expressions as they realise what you're doing.
Endless amusement.
