As January draws to a close and ahead of pay-day tomorrow, thousands are cashing in pledges of support after an alcohol-free month of being On The Dry in aid of the Irish Heart Foundation.
Peopl around the country ditched the booze and took part in the On The Dry campaign – a revolution in New Year’s resolutions. Now with the final days in sight, the push is on to flex those fundraising muscles and call in support promises to raise vital funds to prevent heart disease and stroke…

Jeans and boots : Model’s own.
Fred’s outfit : Clothing bank, Tesco, Artane.
Ha.
And I thought women were bad for slagging each other’s outfits!
By the looks of him, Fred has not had one dry day in January.

Thread of the year so far! HA
Is Fred Cooke the new Georgia Salpa?
He looks like he enjoys a drink. Could do with giving those jeans a bang of an iron.
I think they’re the shoes Simon bought from the tramp in The Inbetweeners.
that month on the dry looks court-ordered in his case.
You iron your jeans?
How else would you get a crease down the middle?
Mammy’s Bhoy!
Better believe it Frilly!
Remember he was nicking the crackers from the tree in the Spar ad?! Wow like … pffff.
Fred Cooke – he just smiles and he thinks hes a comdian….has he any talent at all apart from doing a great impression of Lotney ‘Sloth’ Fratelli………well done.
Can’t Cooke Won’t Cooke
Can cook, cooks too much!
Anyone know what Fred’s USP is?
He’s the straight man in a comedy single act.
Former Posh Bhoy Schools Rugbee Goy
Now he’s *Paddy Spencer
* For Frank. Just in case yere too young
I wonder how many people will get to this weekend and say “that’ll do”.
We need a man and a pretty girl, STAT.
When does hiring some random pretty girl ‘coz she’s pretty to launch stuff become sexist and annoying?
It’s so ridiculously ubiquitous for absolutely every launch of anything.
” ahead of pay-day tomorrow, thousands are cashing in pledges of support” – why would you go asking for money the day before most people get paid?
Also making the assumption that everyone is paid monthly and at the end of the month. Which is incorrect.
the two randommers look embarrassed to be there
Jaysus looks like Freddie has been keeping the festivities going since New Years, no wonder he’s going on the dry.
Those shoes, Inbetweeners anyone?
it looks like a TV movie based on that Monaghan county councillor taking the bribes off the Polish one
Excellent comment.
Cooke also has a certain serial killer je ne sais quoi quality to his smlle.
they make me want to drink
me too :( :)
Cillian would ‘get it.’ the ride.
I’m the not sure if the camera lense’s iris was overly open, or some-such, but the guy standing next to the model in the last pic has the most amazing red hair/beard. I’m guessing he’s Irish. Well done to anyone who stayed the course for the full month. I lasted two days in a row – the crying myself to sleep, instead of drinking in bed to achieve black-out convinced me to relapse. (I’ll donate in “LOO” of my sacrifice).
Typically lame sexist Irish ad -of course the woman in it has to be a model, yet the guy can stand there looking like a woefully dressed fat slob!
I’m a bit taken aback at the comments here, they’re particularly vicious and personal today, I am sure you all look like models and dress to match. What did Fred Cooke ever do yo you! He’s not a bad comedian and being from Kells in Meath he is far from being a “Former Posh Bhoy Schools Rugbee Goy”.
“yet the guy can stand there looking like a woefully dressed fat slob!” im sure “Grace” you are the first person to comment on here if there is a piece on bullying, body shaming, etc. Pretty shoddy comments section this lads.
At least one’ve might be getting a ride
‘Not all bad now

Just sorry to see on here a comments section you’d usually see on The Journal, keyboard comedians being hypocritical about personal comments about someone they dont know. Sad really.
Well
Two of the above are professionally engaged in the public eye and are therefore obliged to collect critical remark. It’s called feedback to the rest of us.
For one, its is clearly part of the gag he’s selling.
The other, and there’s no way of putting this nicely, is an Irish model.
Irish models are to modelling, what Daniel O’Donnell is to Country Music.
The two members of the public above were treated very differently by contributors.
Whatever way you can justify it, work away. I find it hard to see how nasty comments on someones appearance is relevant to anything you could call a critique of a public figure.
But you know different strokes for different folks, have a good weekend
Is it true that Cooke studied medicine in UCD?
Always seems like people who go ‘dry’ in January are desperate to make up for their drinking the rest of the year.
