Séamas O'Reilly: The clocks are going back this evening — apparently

If you’re reading this on Saturday, we’re right on its cusp. With a pleasing asymmetry, this time tomorrow won’t even be 'this time' tomorrow. It’ll be an hour earlier. I think...

Clocks go back an hour from 2am to 1am early on Sunday morning 27 October.

I’m not above admitting my failings. To some extent, it’s beneficial. It is a pity, often remarked-upon by my editors, that my vast intellect, chiselled features, and incorrigible charm can make me seem too perfect to readers. 

For this reason, mentioning the few foibles I do possess helps make me seem more relatable.
