According to a report on breakingnews.ie, the small live parrot was found during a routine search for smuggled goods carried out by officers at Portlaoise …

Ambiguous but...

I'm assuming that all those items weren't found in the same search?

One budgie AND....

"eight mobile phones, three sim cards, some home made booze, 150 tablets and 30 syringes"

Quite a "big" girl then?

ECHO, Echo, echo

Yep

They were all found in the same search.

Of the prison.

Surprised you missed that one El Reg...!

Wot? No Davy lamp?

She was only a coal miner's daughter, but there was plenty of slack in her knickers.

No room for a ....

Did they ...

Maybe they wanted a budgie to serve in place of the canary beloved of miners of old. I suggest an immediate ground-penetrating radar search in order to locate the tunnel they're digging.

This news item is dead. It's pushing up the daisies etc. etc.

RE: Wot? No Davy lamp?

I was gonna say... if they did a really thorough search, they'd probably find the rest of the mining team

A Budgie? Really?

All that contraband was smuggled in, eh?

Who would have thought that Paris Hilton knows someone in an Irish prison?

It gets much, much worse.

They also found a contraband plasma TV in one major criminal's cell. Omigod, are we dealing with a whale here?
