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?

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

No room for a ....

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.

don't you recognise a parrot joke when you see one ..

Don't you recognise a parrot joke when you see one. Especially after the last report from the same source ..

hehe, this gives new meaning to the term jailbird

The bird was into birds then? 

Posted Wednesday 9th May 2007 20:28 GMT

That 'bout sums it up

that's a real jailbird.. 

Posted Wednesday 9th May 2007 22:51 GMT

..and i bet it sings like a canary, before winging it....

My 2 cents...

Budgies can fly right? I assume the prison has an open-air area...

Filthy minds push other thoughts aside.

hehehehehe

if she is....

...shagging a bird does that make her a lesbian?

Wait until Christmas

Wait until Christmas, she may try to smuggle a turkey in then....

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

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

A Budgie? Really? 

Posted Thursday 10th May 2007 21:23 GMT

Are they sure it wasn't a fish hawk?

All that contraband was smuggled in, eh? 

Posted Thursday 10th May 2007 21:30 GMT

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?
