Here Comes The Night....

Holas and good evenings abound as the random musings of an Irishman abroad has, under an extravagant backdrop of shamrock-shaped fireworks, just launched itself onto the barren plains of the blogging world. As the night rolls in, i will leave you to ponder on a theory from Flann O' Brien's favourite philosopher and often-overlooked academic, De Selby who amongst other unpopular theories, tried to prove that there is no such thing as 'night time' :

De Selby on night-time, "There is no such thing as night-time. It is but an accretion of 'black air' i.e. a staining of the atmosphere due to volcanic eruptions too fine to be seen with the naked eye and also due to certain 'regrettable' industrial activities involving coal-tar products"
