Or are countdown clocks on billboards completely bloody pointless? I passed this one on the way in to work this morning (sorry The Sand Man was in the way, but I’m guessing any request for him to move would have been greeted with short thrift). It’s for the new U2 album, an event I’d have trouble getting excited about at the best of times. But I think this is the third countdown clock I’ve seen in as many months (the same clock no doubt). One was for a car… I think… and the other one was for… I can’t remember. Not a great sign, is it? And what happens when the clock hits zero? Fireworks and dancing girls? Are there likely to be many people standing on this street corner in Dublin 8 at midnight on Thursday in gainful anticipation? Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, I’m changing my route to work for the next 3 days.
