“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!!!

  2. She was a tough oppponent but I still made it. Wearing such a top is definitely an attempt to distract her opponents, but as a true backgammon passionate, I just focused on what was (and will always be) the most important: the game ;o)

    If you come to Dublin, come and play with her. She’s always ready for a game with travelers.
