She Took Everything But Me.

She Took Everything But Me.

When she left, she didn’t warn me,
She moved while I was gone,
She didn’t leave a note to tell me what was goin’ on,
She packed up everything,
She didn’t even leave my half,
Well I think it’s safe to say that she ain’t ever comin’ back.

She took my boots, she took the laundry,
Lord, she even took the trash,
She took my Visa to the bank and got herself some cash,
When she cleaned house the last time, she left it squeaky clean,
I guess she’s gone for good this time,
She took everything but me.

I hope she’s somewhere smilin’ as she’s watchin’ my TV,
‘Cause she can’t drive around no more,
I’ve got my truck with me.
I’m on my way to nashville,
I’ve gotta get this record cut,
So I can play it backwards and get back all my stuff.

She took my boots, she took the laundry,
Lord, she even took the trash,
She took my Visa to the bank and got herself some cash,
When she cleaned house the last time, she left it squeaky clean,
I guess she’s gone for good this time,
She took everything but me.

I guess she’s gone for good this time,
She took everything but me.

One Fine Gael Cllr. & One Fianna Fáil Cllr. Put Final Nail In Thurles Town’s Coffin.

Read Here. “The Town Centre First policy aims to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit, while also functioning as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community.”

**Cllr. Mr Sean Ryan and Cllr. Ms Peggy Ryan, both of whom, with the help of other councillors, supported the destruction of Thurles Town centre.**

Phase 2 of Thurles town’s upgraded traffic plan, will now proceed despite much local opposition by traders. See the deceit Published HERE announced almost 10 years ago in March 2015.

A final decision on the report had been previously delayed for further consultation; with a second traffic system trialled over a period of 3 days, instead of the 4 days originally agreed.
However, the initial plan, formulated by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) was proposed, yesterday, by Fine Gael Cllr. Ms Peggy Ryan and seconded by Fianna Fail Cllr. Sean Ryan, thus giving same idiotic plan the “green light”.

Yesterday evening, following the approved of this controversial plan, we understand that traders reacted angrily, with the latter holding banners stating, “It’s OK to say NO” and “120 Job Losses”.

The new plans, which are expected to take several years to implement, will involve changing the traffic system reduced to one lane, thus accepting traffic and heavy goods vehicles converging from 3 lanes right in the very centre of town. It will also see a further reduction of, at least, 12-14 car parking spaces from west Liberty square, and the removal of mature trees to be replaced by miniature trees forcing a colony of 1,000 Pied Wagtails becoming homeless.
