Agony aunt columns

    So the fella got me The Sun newspaper. My first mistake was opening the first page obviously but alas I didn't stop there. I hadn't held a newspaper in my hands in so long that I couldn't help turning page after page. Trashy story after trashy story my senses were truly assaulted. I felt so guilty even indulging in the monstrosity that is juvenile red top journalism at its most dire. Then my eyes were scarred at the disastrous agony aunt column.

    Surely in 2015 people are not still writing in to these so called agony aunts. I wouldn't write into them anyway. The only saving grace about newspapers like that is the puzzle pages where they try get the brain cells you've lost going again after reading their poor attempt at news stories. If you have any thoughts discuss below.

    Don't get me started on the god awful picture stories showing a problem someone is meant to have sent in. People half naked while they're doing mundane things chatting to friends about their so called problem.

    He could get her the moon and stars and she still wouldn't be happy...

    He likes to create the problem and solve it. Double jobbing at its finest.

    But alas I would be. Wouldn't write into a rag of a newspaper to give out about it though.

    Is it possible your fella has written a letter to the Sun agony aunt and wants to admit to something ?

    An itching in the scrotal area.

    The Sunday Sport agony aunts are priceless! Read it in my Gran uncles house once- he loved the boobies. If only he lived to see the Internet... (He'd had died v soon after no doubt)
