This American knows about the nation of Utopia! And here I was, thinking Americans were terribly ignorant.

JT, I thank you for getting these quotes off the CNNNN show in Australia. I'm still laughing at the ignorance of the Americans.

Fantastic, aren't they? Far too good not to appear here.

Welsh?

Romanian?

As it happens, Italian was only declared the official language of Italy last year. Odd, that.

No, India in North America. You know, where the Indians live.

Or South America. They got Indians there to!

No, you're all wrong. He's obviously talking about Red India!

Ah, now THAT makes it stupid. I must have been mistaken with my regular excursions to London when I was 16 - it seemed that every weekend there was some club or another I wanted to go to. I must have been mistaken.

My thoughts exactly!

A rather upper-class lady walks up to the reception desk of the Fitzwilliam Museum, in Cambridge:

"Could you direct me to the Ashmolean Museum, please?"
    Posted by JT on 14 Apr 2010. + (1) - (0) Permalink
Note - the answer is really quite simple. You come out of the Fitzwilliam, go left a bit, right a bit, straight on, join the M11, follow it for about 30 miles to the M25 junction, then go west for about 45 miles to the M40 junction, then up the M40 for another 30 miles or so and turn left. You can't miss the Ashmolean - it's right in the centre of Oxford.

There are only two of yours on here. You'll have to be a bit more prolific if you want your own category!
