This guy came over to me at the tube station, he was like "Hi, I am from Dubai, I was wondering if you could find me this address?"

Took one look at it, I said, you need to be 800 miles north.

Basically, he was going to an address in Edinburgh and mistook that for London....

    You'd be surprised how well that works as a method of navigation.

    Me and a few mates did the Mongol Rally a few years ago using basically this technique. We got to the finish so it must have worked!

    He'll be there in a day, assuming you gave him good advice. You DID give him good advice, didn't you?

  • Haha thats a gay chat up line - you're meant to reply "Can I take you up North"
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    You sent him to the Faroe Islands, then? The poor guy will be really confused when he gets there. :P
