Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall at the Rugby World Cup Final 2015

Old Rupert and young Jerry Hall,
Have news that may just appall,
His newspaper’s said,
That the pair will be wed,
Which is charming, not creepy at all.

Loudspeakers facing North Korea at a South Korea border post

They’re jealous of those on the top,
So Seoul is now blasting K-pop,
Right over the border,
It’s right out of order,
And petty. They really should stop.

The alleged location of an underground H-bomb test in North Korea

In a move that is certain to spook,
The West, our man let off a nuke,
So now Kim Jong-un,
Can have lots of fun,
Watching everyone cower and puke.

Anything good in the Plymouth Herald?

A loyal Daniel O’Donnell fan has been left distraught after finding out that his idol won’t be coming to Plymouth on his 2016 tour.

David Marks (above) has been a fan of the Irish singer since the young age of 14…As the 18-year-old eagerly anticipated O’Donnell’s tour dates for this year, he was shocked to find that the country singer didn’t have Plymouth on his tour list.

The teen said it would “ruin his life” if he couldn’t see Daniel this year, and with the closest venue being Bristol’s Colston Hall to see the famous singer, David feels the trip would be near impossible for him to make.

Lucinda thinks tax on your car,
Mercedes, Rolls, or Jaguar,
Should go, but the fool,
Wants to raise tax on fuel,
And Newry is not very far.

Tommy Maloney’s Irish sausages

On every American fork,
This Christmas there’ll be Irish pork,
And jam, scones and tea,
Will fill paddies with glee,
In Los Angeles and in New York.

In news that commuters won’t like,
There’s talk of a January strike,
So if you won’t shirk,
Your duties at work,
You’ll have to rise early and hike.
