Charlie Croker has, andáiná2006 he gathered together what he thought was the definitive collection of English language howlers for his bestselling book "LostáináTranslation". But he reckoned without the great British public. Not only was the book a smash hit, it also opened the floodgates to a deluge of emails and letters stuffed full of further mistranslations and mutilated phrases. From a leaflet from the Museum of RasputináináRussia (which is apparently situatedáináaáhouseáthat belonged a pilot fish Zubov) to a song title on a pirated Pink Floyd CD (Come Fartably Numb), the scrambled sentences just kept floodingáin. At the same time, Charlie has continued his travels and picked up gems of his own. With such a wealth of material, a sequel wasn't just a necessity, it was a public service, and "StilláLostáináTranslation" is even more addictive, whimsical and side-splittingly hilarious than the first book.
