Quite simply, I am amazed by this story, and I think you should have a look at it. There are a lot of good writers out there in these spaces, but IMHO Lili Gabor would be one of the most interesting and original I have seen. Not to mention the fact that she manages to do it in two languages...

Talking about Backgammon

Sometimes you find a little gem out there in cyberspace. When you do, you should pick it up, cradle it fondly, polish it gently and place it on your mantelpiece. Like so:

Backgammon

-        - “You there! What do you say to a spot of backgammon”
-         -“I don’t appreciate being hailed as ‘You there!’ thank you very much.”
-         -“Bit precious are we? Come on play some backgammon.”
-         -“I am not precious! I just think you were rude.”
-         -“Oh, rude am I? We’ll settle this over a game of backgammon”
-         -“Yes you are rude. A polite person would have said, ‘hello there’ but not you.”
-         -“NOT I, NOT I? I think your judgement is impaired, you’ll need a game of backgammon.”
-         -“You’ll find that judgement is pure interpretation of the facts placed before you. In this case you have been nothing but rude and so you leave me only one possible verdict.”
-         -“Oh come on your honour, don’t be so closed minded, why don’t you consider a game of backgammon?”

The judge gave him 15 years solitary confinement.
There would be nobody to play backgammon with him that way.
The defendant just kept asking the guards.
His crime was just a simple misunderstanding between him and a sixteen year old girl about what playing backgammon actually was.
