Rex: Woof woof.

Shaggy: Rufff. Rufff.

Rex: Aha, gentle reader, ahah. Travels in Irishry. That sounds promising – it suggests that nationhood could be a state of mind. But the phrase seems to me typical of much that is in this book. It sounds good but it’s shallow and meaningless. Basically he could’ve just sat on his arse and made it all up.

Shaggy: Ah, give him a break. He’s really a cartoonist, you know. There’s loads of nice little drawings in the text.

Rex: You see, he admits he’s not really a writer. It would be absurd for people to buy this book. But I understand the publisher’s theory behind it. And it’s quite audacious. Basically his name is Bradford so it’s quite likely that he’s going to find his stuff right next to Bill Bryson …

Shaggy: Who’s Bill Bryson?

Rex: Shut up. Poor unsuspecting grannies, maiden aunts and kindly pipe-smoking uncles who don’t understand rap music or the Internet will enter the shop hoping to buy the latest gagfest by the corpulent and successful American writer and by mistake will end up purchasing this bizarre tome.

Shaggy: Ha ha, look, though, it’s got a cartoon of us in it.

Rex: Has it? Oh yes, ha ha.
