Image that there are 8 men stranded on a desert island: two Irishmen, two Welshmen, two Scots, and two Englishmen. After one day on the desert island, the two Irishmen are having an argument, and about to have a fight. After two weeks on the desert island, the Welshmen have formed a choir, and are singing. After 4 weeks on the desert island, the Scots have built a distillery, and are totally drunk. And after 6 months on the desert island, the two Englishmen are still waiting to be introduced to one another. S. McGeady
