Feeling happy with their first day’s work Damian and David decided to go for a drink to celebrate. It was a Friday evening after all, in the middle summer. Standing outside Davy Byrne’s moral pub in the centre of Dublin they noticed they were surrounded by people in straw boater hats and long flowing dresses. The annual Bloomsday celebration of James Joyce’s groundbreaking novel Ulysses was in full swing.
“Did you know that the main character, Leopold Bloom is an ad man. And that one of the reasons he is walking around Dublin is to visit his clients” said David to Damian. Or maybe it was Damian who said it to David. There was a brief pause as both men reflected for a moment. “What about Bloom” said Damian. Or maybe it was David.
