    We've interviewed soccer stars and politicians. We have musicians and other personalities on the way but I wanted to give you first dibs on questions to one of Ireland's top entertainers.

    Since he appeared on our screens in 1989, this Dublin northsider has gone on to dominate the music charts, including a Christmas number one (in December 1996, beating the Spice Girls), to run for the Irish presidency in 1997, to represent the country in Eurovision, to insult pretty much every personality on Irish TV and to present his own news show.

    With six albums under his builder's belt and a trip to South Africa for UNICEF to see the mportant work going on in Kwa-Zulu Natal with children affected by HIV/AIDS, unemployment and poverty just completed, I'm delighted that Dustin the Turkey will make time in his schedule this week EDIT: next week - for a video interview where he'll answer the questions you put here.

    GO ON YA GOOD THING!!

    Put your questions below. His wikipedia page is quite informative and he's over on twitter here.

    Do you want to ask him how it felt to be knocked out of the Eurovision? For a quote on a building job? We'll take your questions and put it to everyone's favourite Turkey Vulture. Who knows what sort of answer we'll get back?

    The earlier you get your questions in, the higher the chance we can ask them!

    This interview will now be next week, possibly on the 11 November :)

    How does it feel to be more talented yet less successful than Ray Darcy? You looked very similar back in the day ye'r the same height and everything.


    Also do you support the legalisation of cannabis?

    Does he think Rodge and Podge are just milking at this stage? Any chance of getting Ray D'Arcy to go back to The Den with Dustin as main presenter? Also why didn't I win the Pringles Competition back in 1990?

    Do you go out on the lash with your old buddies Sockie, Zig & Zag? Does Sockie bring his blue bucket with him? (you know, in case he doesn't feel well)

    Maybe I'm just deliriously happy today but I took that to be a joke on the fact that literally, Dustin is a puppet :p

    Anyway, my question is if/when you become Taoiseach, what'll your first act be?

    and/or

    What do you think of Ray Darcy these days?

    No, he's a puppet, muppet is probably trademarked by the Jim Henson company! :pac:

    Quick question, are we interviewing the turkey character or the voice and real persona behind the turkey?

    Real persona Question: Are you (the voice of Dustin) happy that you aren't recognised by all in sundry as you walk the streets of Dublin. In a posh way...do you enjoy the relative obscurity of your fame?

    Turkey Question: Bibi Baskin, in her prime...would ya?

    He is a really Turkey Vulture I don't know what you are all talking about, sure Don Conroy has given to authoritative stance on that fact.

    Is he nervous coming up to Christmas or does he believe his Star-Power will save him these days?

    What are his opinions on Mark Little and does he think he could do a better job of investigative journalism?

    Was Big Bird from Sesame Street the person who most influenced you to become a top TV star?

    What do you think of our genocidal treatment of other turkeys in the lead up to Christmas?

    Are you looking forward to Deal Or No Deal on TV3?

    If you could punch any one person in the face, who would it be and why?

    Do you hve an account on boards.ie? What's your username?

    What do you think of me (i.e. Darragh)?

    I'm sure the age of his fowl flesh would mean he wouldn't pass the first inspection in any slaughter house. His safe enough I'd say.

    How do Bosco and Padjo feel about all the attention given to The Den and its stars over their respective shows? Is there resentment there that they never became as famous? and Are you on speaking terms with Bosco and Padjo? Do you ever listen to Bosco's album?

    Do you think the infamous Virwin Jones interview was the reason you lost the 1990 Presidential Election?

    What happened to Capitan Joke, Cousin Nigel and Capitan Pillow Case? Why did the Freezer wear a denim jacket?
