    This happened to me tonight and i thought it was just about funny enough to post. But only just.

    My girlfriend and i were in dublin city and two foreigners asked us where the clifton court hotel was. I didnt know so i whipped out the phone and googled it. I found its website and got the address. He took out his sat nav and typed in the address, clicked navigate and then said "oh there it is". It was about 20 metres from us and we could see it from where we were standing

    Yes quite an amusing anecdote there, maybe you should embellish it with,

    "so my girlfriend kicked him in the nads, I grabbed his Sat Nav and we ran off down the street, and he couldn't follow us cause we'd just robbed his Sat Nav!"

    But I don't condone violence against tourists in anyway...
