Dear JoJo
Aunty JoJo

Heya JoJo

I have a rash on my inner thigh. What might it be?

Padjo (19) – Moincoin

How in the name of god am I meant to know? Do I look like a doctor? And you’ve given me absolutely nothin’ other than its a rash to go on so I can’t even Google it. Is it red? Is it itchy? I just rang me ma to ask her and she says put  Sudocreme on it.

 

Dear JoJo

Would you be happier if it wasn’t for the weather?

Miss C Eletrik (23) – Waterford City

Is that not a Corrs song? Clearly I would be. I thought this was the Sunny South East??? Someone clearly lied to me coz it hasn’t been all that sunny since I moved here. I’ve not even gone skinnydippin’ in Tramore once!

Dear JoJo

I’ve recently started a new job and the other girls are picking on me. What should I do?

Ms D Valishus (25) Carrick-On-Suir

Stop bein’ an absolute whinge and get on with it. A jobs a job at the end of the day and sure people aren’t so lucky with the recession and bad cases of glandular fever goin’ around so be glad of the paycheck, suck it up and get on with it. And p**s in their cornflakes.

Dear JoJo

Is it true you’re goin’ to be the next Roddy Doyle?

Alan (32) Kilkenny

I hope not coz he’s a 50 something year old bald fella as far as I know. If you’re talkin’ about me book thats comin’ out on the 23rd of November called Diary Of A Ryde available in all good book shops and online retailers then you are indeed right. Actually I wouldn’t mind bein’ the next Amanda Brunker. She’s a ride and she has her own range of sofas!

Dear JoJo

I have a huge crush on Enda Kenny! What do I do?

Dermot (31) Gorey

Are you actually for real? Enda Kenny is an awful lookin’ specimen. Would ya not have picked a good lookin’ politician like Leo Varadker? Sure you’re from Wexford, the home of that Mick Wallace fella so granted Enda Kenny is a clear step up from him. Maybe you should go on a retreat and reflect?

Dear JoJo
Aunty JoJo

Heya JoJo

Where’ve you been?

Desmond (48) – Courtown

Howya Dessie! Well I’ve been right here in Waterford and kept meanin’ to get around to this! I hope everythings okay seein’ as you wrote to me back in August. I’d hate to learn you’ve been hit by a Waltzer in that time.

Dear JoJo

Do you know the way to San Jose?

Miss C Eletrik (23) – Waterford City

You’re STILL 23?? And yes I do know the way to San Jose! When I was in Los Angeles there a few months back for me holidays we got a train and one of the stops on it was San Jose!! So if you’re gettin’  the train, its the other way thats not San Diego. Or you could just look at Google Maps ya sap.

Dear JoJo

I want to break into television. Any advice?

Ms C Guevara (21) Clonmel

Do you think I’d still be slavin’ away day in day out if I knew how to break into television? Bein’ from Finglas South, I can teach you to break into lots of things. Television isn’t one of them

Dear JoJo

Congratulations on another fantastic season of Dragiators. What’s your favourite part of being involved in the competition?

Sharon (28) Wexford

That’s an easy one! Its findin’ all that talent that’s out there and unleashin’ it on the world! Cher Guevara won season 1 and has been workin’ with us since. Haunty Beor has been on Republic of Telly and is a celebrity in Limerick. Claudia Shifter is a superstar in the North West. Roxxi Sparks has her own show in Dignity. Most of them are lovely people and have become great friends. Some of them are c***s.

 

Dear JoJo

I need help! I can’t help thinking I’m Justin Bieber!

Joe (18) Arklow

Can you sing? Can you dance? Are you in any way cute? Are you Justin Bieber? Send a picture, preferably of your face babes.
