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!"

Wanted: big sikh with stickWhere I live in Auckland there's a ferry service across the harbour every half hour. On the access doors to the ramp there are extremely large signs saying "PLEASE STAND TO ONE SIDE TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO GET OFF".
As reliable as fcuking clockwork there'll be a clump of fat useless retarded foreigners standing bang in the middle of the doorway, with uncomprehending placid bovine fcukwitted expressions on their faces as people try to squeeze past. (Most of them aren't even merkins, BTW, but whinging poms, eurotrash, Japanese wearing their funnyhats, shifty looking Balkan types and horrible motormouthed Israelis.)
I get so pissed off that I start to envy the way they keep order in India: just have a fcuking big sikh with a stick walking round belting anyone he feels like.
That'd learn 'em.
