Sounds like the <i>Nuits blanches</i> they have over here (well up in Paris) every year.. Come to think of it, I think Dublin always had a <i>Culchie</i> night - every Friday - when many's the student and humble civil servant was to be seen on their way to converted bingo buses that'd take them home for the weekend laden down with a few tons of dirty laundry - does that still exist ?? Love Huston's last film - always thought it'd be the perfect one to watch on a Bloomsday too. I don't think anyone else ever came within a country mile in terms of adapting Joyce to the big screen. Glad to hear the house is almost presentable again - remember it as being in a sad state when I last lived in Dublin - over a decade ago.
