I was recently doing a crossword in the pub when I got stuck, so I asked my notoriously generous Scottish friend: “I’m stuck on this one: ‘Trapped on a desert island, eight letters, starting with M?’”
She responded: “Come on, silly, it’s Marooned!”. Me being me, I promptly clapped back: “Oh, go on then – I’ll have a creamy pint of Guinness*, please!”.
* Other alcoholic drinks are, of course, available.
