Did you know about it before today?
Iâve been to Oss. Not a whole pile to report. Amsterdam has a little bit more going on alright.
I always found Liam OâMaonlai to be a bit of a creep but never realised he was nearly in MBV.
From Wikipedia:
Ă Maonlai first formed a band called The Complex with childhood friend Kevin Shields and drummer Colm Ă CĂosĂłig. After Liam left to form the Hothouse Flowers in 1984, Shields and Ă CĂosĂłig were joined by vocalist Dave Conway and keyboardist Tina (who used no surname), and renamed themselves My Bloody Valentine, taking their name from a low-budget horror film.

I would have fished with my Dad in the field by the bridge on the road between Inistioge and Thomastown. Canât remember the season, it was either Spring or Autumn. There were no mushrooms so Iâll say Spring.
May/June would be the peak trout fishing times
Maybe early May so. The auld boy was no angler. Iâd say he just took a notion to go fishing. It was the 80s after all.

Down around there on a sunny May/June day is a like the scenery in a âRiver Runs Through Itâ in Montana. Gorgeous. Donât know if itâs much use for fish anymore, or any rivers around there, for that matter.

Brownsbarn Bridge. A grand spot.
The father used always make us walk the bikes down the hill because of the dangerous bend at the end.
Funny story is we were playing football in Grennan (Thomastown) one day when some lad kicked the ball into the river. Our teacher, the well known, Brendan OâSullivan not to be phased, sat into the car and off with him. He fished it out below at Brownsbarn Bridge.
Footballs werenât cheap at the time and scarce enough as ye know in Kilkenny at the best of times.

I once got an article in Hogan stand when Iâd to go into the Corrib to get a ball out mid game in dangan. Like you said, they were dear. Somehow jack mahon bed of heaven to him, found out and wrote about it. We were winning by a couple of points at the time, and it near enough to the end. It was snowing and the river was in full spate, so wasnât wise. As I climbed back up the bank onto the pitch trying to put my jersey back on (not easy when youâre soaked and frozen, one of the opposition started shouting that Iâd thrown it in deliberately to waste time 
They fuckers equalised too, but we bet them in extra time. Won a Keg even The best of days.

Thatâs the one. In the field the far side of the bridge, river was on or left. There was a flood in the river, the field was saturated the same day.
