JOE’s Mood Swingometer
Today JOE has mostly been feeling… SEXED UP.
What’s going on in the world? We’re all gone sex mad, sexism, sexist…you name it. As males we’ve got it on the mind quite regularly. At JOE we need guidance and nurturing when it comes to sex-related issues and who better to solve our problems and give a helping, ahem, hand than our very own Claire Tully.

Live Like JOE…
BE NICE TO YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW (current or future)
It’s as close to somebody clawing their nails on a blackboard when you hear this, isn’t it?
So you’ve somehow managed to wrangle your way into another woman’s life, presumably the woman you want to be with for the rest of your life – but now here’s the money-maker, how do you get her Mum to warm to you?
JOE has three top tips to live like the angelic son-in-law, whether it’s right now or further down the line.
- Solicit her advice – If there’s one thing a mother-in-law loves, it’s feeling needed. Go to her for advice about issues she’s comfortable with like what to buy your wife or girlfriend for her birthday. Talk to her about your job and make her opinion feel valued. You’ll have her eating of your hand in no time.
- Credit her with your wife’s best traits – She will love this but be very careful. It’s perfectly fine to tell her that your wife’s patience, understanding and principles must come from her side of the family. DO NOT reference any physical attributes whatsoever, you’re just digging a hole for yourself boy.
- Wear the ugly sweater she bought – It’s a simple one to follow. It won’t kill you to pull on the grotesque woollen-knitted lime green jumper she bought you. Just wear it and bear it and you’ll clock up some serious brownie points.
Tonight’s Telly
Pick of the night: The Beach, E4, 9.00pm.
A young backpacker arrives in Bangkok, where a wild-eyed and paranoid veteran traveller tells him of the exact location of a remote paradise island. When he finally makes it to the golden beaches, he discovers there is already a community in residence. All is not as it seems, however, and the happy idyll soon turns sour. Danny Boyle’s drama, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Carlyle, Virginie Ledoyen and Tilda Swinton. You’ll love the ocean scene!
Sporting highlight: Live – UEFA Champions League Football, RTE2 from 7pm and UTV from 7.30pm.
All the action from the semi-final second-leg encounter at the Nou Camp, where the holders entertain Jose Mourinho’s Italian champions, who lead 3-1 from the first leg at the San Siro. Barca won 2-0 when the sides met here in the group stage, and a repeat of that result would be enough to see them progress to the final on the away goals rule. However, Inter’s away wins over Chelsea and CSKA Moscow in the two previous rounds prove they cannot be underestimated on foreign soil.
More TV: Mission Impossible 2, Sky One, 10.30pm.
Secret agent Ethan Hunt is sent to find and destroy the only sample of a deadly man-made virus. However, he faces tough opposition in a former spy-turned-criminal mastermind who has already acquired the cure and now wants the pathogen itself. Director John Woo’s action thriller sequel, starring Tom Cruise, Dougray Scott, Thandie Newton and Anthony Hopkins.
