Day 126 - Friday, May 6th, 2011

Huzzah!, time for another golfing weekend foray to Munster in the company of Danny "Son of Hoon" Sjunnesson, "English" Niall English and Conquer "CONCACAF" O'Keeffe. Al The Almera saw us off on our jolly way shortly after 4pm, and thanks to relatively kindly traffic at the Mad Red Cow spaghetti junction and around Naas, we found ourselves in the town square of Cahir (pronounced "Care"), County Tipperary and checked into our hotel rooms by 6.30pm. Gift!

Soon we were supping finest porter in the good traditional hotel bar, and after a couple of rounds, made the arduous 70 yard journey to a tavern with a dart-board, where we engaged with the locals in excellent banter and in what turned out to be hours of challenge matches. Clearly exhausted from the previous night's athletic TNDC pursuits, I played appallingly in general, whilst English was on top form. Many porters later, we adjoined to Flames, Cahir's finest purveyor of greased fried foodstuffs, before retreating to the hotel to take advantage of its fine residential bar facilities.
