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!"

One me, one not me...We were on a school trip to France, and were in the museum that has that massive tapestry in it (the Bayeux tapestry or something). Anyway, me and my mate were sat down, with our other mate, Fathead, sat on the other side of a display case. My mate and I decided it would be hilarious if we pointed at him and shouted "il s'appelle grosse tête" (loosely translated "he is called Fathead"). It wasn't actually that funny until one of the employees went over to Fathead, and asked him, in perfect English, if he would step outside! Haha!
Another one (another school trip, this time in Germany, which I didn't attend because I didn't go to that school) involved two of my mates. One of them was bent over looking at something, when the other decided to run up and kick him up the arse. It wasn't until after he had done it that he realised that it wasn't my other mate at all, and was in fact a very big, pissed off German bloke. Oh dear.
Not really relevant, but I thought that I would let you know that I recently discovered that I can access b3ta on my mobile, so now I can read Question of the Week whilst having a shit. And you know something? It feels fantastic!
