    i read the herald every day and for the past while its been annoying me that this woman has been given a job as an agony aunt

    what does she know about life at her age, or hardships

    she went to private schools,grew up in rich home celebrity dadyy,probly fancy holidays,soon as she left school she is modeling,never did a days hard work unless you count standing aorund having your photo taken.. then after a couple years of this she becomes miss ireland and then goes off to do miss world..


    how can she give people advice in an agony aunt capacity?

    dear rosanna,im addicted to the smack and ive been injectin into my eyelids coz all me other veins have colappsed and i dont know how to get off it,please help me


    dear roasanna im a fat ugly over weight bird with no friends and no fellas will look at me never mind kiss me, what can i do

    dear roasanna my father is an abusive alcogolic and he beat us for years and now im all messed up and dont know what im doin im suicidal

    dear rosanna i got molested as a kid and now every time i see my uncle he winks at me and tries touching me up,i need help



    what does this woman know about any of these issues,how is she qualified to give people advice on anything other then modelling or going to celebrity parties???


    am i the only one annoyed by this

    I doubt too many people with serious problems are going to go looking for advice off the agony aunt in the herald. If they did I'm sure all they would do is recommend the person get in contact with someone who is actually in a position to help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    If you're that upset about the propriety of the Herald agony aunt, I can't imagine you've seen much hardship either.

    im not upset

    we are in a recession here, people are struggling to find jobs but the herald is giving this job to rosanna davidson,does she need the few quid

    let some 55 year old aulone on the dole from finglas do the job or soembody who knows something about living

    not some 23 year old rich kid or however old she is

    It really is just an excuse to stick her name on the cover and use that to market the paper to her fans.

    Took the words out of my mouth, a fashion/celeb column would involve her writing a column this avoids that messy business.

    Dear Roseanna,

    My Dad thinks he's a singer. He keeps writing sh*t songs like this one:

    Dear Rosanna I know this old fella who's eyebrows are bigger than his head. Should I beat them off with a hurl or set fire to them ?

    Imagine if Alison O'Riordan wrote to her looking for advice on her negative equity....... and Rosanna replied..........

    Correct, That was my job during TY work experience.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    I wish to neither knock her out nor up but them rags should not be allowed publish such for the throngs that only really buy em for that section. For inspiration.. see how at lunchbreaks they comb those sections studiously for inspiration or to nervously check if what they did last night is acceptable. it often is..

    "Sure she wasn't that close a cousin"

    "Sure that one brief encounter will only bond you closer to your bff's bf in the long run"

    I'm not surprised rosanna lights up like a guru for this sort of tripe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,904 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Well when Jordan is writing an agony aunt colum then i guess anyone can do the job. Anyone remember Dear Linda in the Sunday world? The problems were alot simpler back then.:pac:

    She should pile on the pounds overnight and take to the wrestling ring under the guise of 'Agony Aunt' proper cos i only have to read her for my eyes to hurt.

    a 55 year old "aulone" on the dole from finglas, doesnt sell newspapers....

    a former miss world does.

    there lies the difference. and anyway, its probably not even her writing them anyway, just her name and the "problems" are fake...

    I'd say she's better at giving pity rather than advice. yes , its absurd giving her an agony aunt slot; arguably her life's prime motivation is the 'golden mickey ha ha. Why shoul she care? )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    Does anyone sane take agony aunts seriously? The only useful function they ever served was to be a target for trolls long before the Internet was even thought of.:D

    I once asked this of "Dear Angela MacNamara": Does taking the contraceptive pill break your fast before Holy Communion?" The silly aul cow never even replied to me.:):):)

    Are you sure your not confusing an agony aunt with a psychiatrist. Any one that gives advice to someone could be considered an agony aunt you don't need any training.

    Does she really sell papers though?

    I am really struglling to think of somone who would buy a paper because a former beauty contestant writes an agony aunt page.
    Surely the sort of people who would consider themselves a fan of her would only be able to read her coloum if each Piece was no longer than 140 characters and used TXT SPK!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Defiler Of The Coffin


    Well, if she wants to follow in the footsteps of the late great Patricia Redlich she has to start somewhere. They could give her a few easy questions to start off, e.g. "my boyfriend beats me with a novelty rubber mallet every night, should I leave him?" and then increase the complexity gradually; "My boyfriend wants to go down on me but the thought of a ginger beard down there triggers a traumatic childhood memory" etc.

    Ah yes, good old Catholic fundamentalist Angela MacNamara. I remember her sending a letter into a newspaper in which she lamented the demise of the nuclear family, blaming society's ills on gay couples, single parents, divorced parents etc.

    In her world sex before marriage makes you irresponsible, and choking the old chicken is selfish because the love is turned back towards yourself. Indeed.

    She's probably paid for her picture and endorsement. Some poor bastard on work experience probably writes the articles.

    I once wrote some of the daily horoscopes for a well know Irish daily tabloid when on work experience.
