    When he's in the Jailhouse, he'll be asking for the Big Hound Dog to 'Love Me Tender' and Don't Be Cruel but I think it'll be a Burning Love

    Elvis song title that is humorous in this context.

    His solicitor says that he's all shook up by the charges.

    He had a tough upbringing in the ghetto

    There's always one that comes in too hard, too soon.

    I'm not trying to join the Irish moan brigade, but I'm fairly surprised to see the national broadcaster descend into tabloid puns and commentary. It's a pretty horrible crime to carry out! I enjoy it in After Hours, but I was surprised to see the same on RTE.ie about a genuine and serious crime!

    I love the last line from the article:

    What about the story about Louis Tomlinsons's sister dying and the pictures they used from her Instagram including one talking bout her strap on her top falling? I don't think RTE are a bastion of good taste. Turning into The Sun/Daily Mail chasing hits regardless of content.

    Elvia: Are you lonesome tonight?

    Cell mate: Thought you’d never ask.

    If my parents had called me that, I'd probably not be the well-adjusted sane I would probably be in he same place he is. That's borderline child-abuse that is.

    He'll be having a little less conversation and a little more action now in prison.

    I see RTE has changed the great bit of craic the original story was, in the current knife culture of the UK it was in incredible bad taste, expecially for the state broadcaster, bloody joke of an organisation.

    RTE news has gone very tabloidy in the last year or 2. A lot of reports are riddled with silly puns and clichés.

    Any report that is music related has to have "Hitting the right note" or "Striking a chord" inserted. It's been done before. Come up with something new.
