Isn’t it insane? Officer dub and outtabass only care about their backgammon game instead of enjoying the stunning views at the Cliffs of Moher. Well, thats perfectly fine - at least from my point of view :-) . But be carefull guys - playing backgammon so close to a sheer drop off might be exceptionally dangerous…..especially for the loser - hmmmm or the winner? ;-)

Sheep go to heaven!

It´s hard to find a sheep interested in playing backgammon…… Well, outtabass got lucky. You can imagine that you can only find sophisticated sheeps like this one in Ireland. But even in Ireland you have to travel all the way to Achill Island to seek smart sheeps like this one. But look out! They really focus, as you can see :-)
Anyways, if you can´t find an adequate sheep in your neighbourhood, just try this!

You need a break once in a while if your are working yourself to death on a plantation located on the beautiful spanish island Tenerife. Imagine watering five billion fruits and vegetables with the flexible tube you see in the background… fucking exhausting! Here you see our brave workers Officer Dub and Jim Jones having a well deserved short rest playing a decent backgammon and drinking a “Tenerovka”, their own juicy creation consisting of Becherovka, Fanta and crushed ice! ;-) Interesting combination!!

Smithwicks vs Guinness

There is no doubt about it: Social life in Ireland takes place in - you guess it- a pub. As you can see: the big institution Guinness is challenged by Smithwicks - THE ale in Ireland (author´s opinion…). Hard to say who will win this eternal fight between the mighty one from Dublin and the underdog from Kilkenny. By the way: Smithwicks was born in 1710 and Guinness in 1756 - so there is plenty of experience present - particularly in tight holding games like this one…

The Tart with the Cart

“Molly Malone, or Cockles and Mussels, is the unofficial anthem of Dublin City in Ireland. It is sung by supporters of Dublin GAA teams and Irish international rugby team. The song tells the tale of a beautiful fishmonger who plies her trade on the streets of Dublin, but who tragically dies young of a fever.” Yep, this description is scraped from wikipedia, but it pretty much hits the bull´s eye. You can find her at the bottom of Grafton street. Thats where Timmok is usually playing his matches. As you can see, he accepted a double - it was almost a pass - from my point of view - but I think they only played for love…

Check out more information about Molly - but warning: no backgammon information!!!
