We had it all.
I can hear the wind blowing in my mind, Just the way it used to sound, Through the Georgia pines, And you were there to answer when I called, You and me we had it all. Remember how I used to touch your hair? While reaching for the feeling, That was always there. You were the best thing in my life I recall, You and me, Lord knows we had it all. Know I can’t re-live those times again, So I just let my dreams take me back, To where we’ve been. I’ll stay right there with you just as long as I can, Oh it was so good, yes it was so good, Oh it was so good when your were my man. I’ll never stop believing in your smile, Even though you didn’t stay, It was all worthwhile. You were the best thing in my life I recall, You and me, Lord knows we had it all. Oh yes, you and me we had it all. You and me we had it all. END
Tipperary are the Electric Ireland Minor Hurling Champions after a pulsating contest with neighbours Kilkenny. A Billy O’Brien goal four minutes from the end of Extra Time sealed an improbable win after Tipperary had been reduced to 13 men, just before the 20 minute mark.

The Tipperary management team composed themselves at half time, helped by a fortuitous Eoghan Doughan goal straight from a 65 just before the break, and hatched one of the all-time defiant Tipperary hurling performances. The performance of these brave 13 youngsters blended the tough defending, associated with previous Tipperary teams of the 1950s and 1960s, and the attacking style and panache of more recent Tipperary teams.
It would be unfair to single out any one player after this brilliant team performance, so Thurles.info would like to give huge praise to all our local players, and the time, energy, and coaching invested in them by their families, local GAA clubs and schools – players representing Durlas Og, Holycross Ballycahill GAA, Moycarkey Borris GAA, Thurles CBS and Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed (and previously Scoil Ailbhe, Gaelscoil Bhríde, St Michaels NS Holycross primary schools).
Despite the unseasonal cold, a massive crowd await the arrival home of the victorious Tipp Minors unto the steps of Thurles Cathedral, just before midnight last night. Pic: G. Willoughby.
The honour of Captaining the team, and the recipient of the Irish Press Cup from Uachtarán Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Jarlath Burns, was Cathal O’Reilly (Holycross-Ballycahill GAA) who provided towering leadership from the heart of the defence to this special group of players.
On a day when our Senior Camogie team also had a victory over Kilkenny in the All Ireland, the performance of these young players has lifted the morale of the Tipperary hurling public and points to some green shoots ahead.
Lyrics and Vocals: American country music singer, songwriter, guitarist and three time Grammy Award winner Brad Paisley.
Ode de Toilet.
She says not to buy her flowers, Or big expensive gifts. She says she don’t want jewelry, And she doesn’t need another dress. If I want to show her how much I adore her, The best way that I’ve found, Is to make sure when I’m finished, I put that toilet seat down. We’ve been to counciling, To try and see the ways we could improve, This thing between us, And different ways to show each other “I love you”. Forget about those getaway vacations, To romantic coastal towns, If you want to say “I love you”, Then put that toilet seat down. ‘Cause in the middle of the night, It’s cold and it’s dark, And when I hear my name in vain, I know I haven’t done my part. She just wants me to support her, And the best way that I’ve found, So with a gentle hand and a loving touch, I put that toilet seat down. I know it’s kind of funny, You can teach a little puppy, But it’s very hard to train a grown man, When I’m all about my business, And the path of least resistance, She’s the one that suffers in the end. In the middle of the night, It’s cold and it’s dark, And when I hear my name in vain, I know I haven’t done my part. She just wants me to support her, And the best way that I’ve found, So with a gentle hand and a loving touch, I put that toilet seat down. Down, down. END.
On the eve of its tenth anniversary, Co. Cork singer and songwriter Stephanie Rainey brought her timeless anthem ‘Please Don’t Go’ to a whole new audience when she appeared on the TV series ‘America’s Got Talent’ on Tuesday June 25th, last, 2024.
The song she sung was dedicated to her one-year-old nephew, Fionn, who tragically lost his life to meningitis, when aged just one year old.
I dare our older readers not to shed a tear, as we think back, lovingly, on the hands we have held under similar circumstances in the past.
I’ll hold your hand till it goes cold. I’ll hold my tears until you go, With all the life that leaves your bones, It soaks the purpose from my own. Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go. I love you more than you could know. You’ve got a hole inside my soul. It’s like a mountain soaked in snow. It’s in the earth the river flows. Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go. Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go. I’ve kept my own side of the bed, Thinking you’d be home again. I hold myself so I can sleep, My pillow holds the screams of me. Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go. Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go. So lay yourself down on my chest, ‘Cause I know how to hold you best. I’ll keep you through these last few breaths, And kiss and love you till the end. Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go. Ohhh, ohh, oh, please don’t go. END.
