Get your John Joe talking keyring – not available to buy in shops
By
UPDATE : Friday 26th March 2010 –
I have received many enquiries about the keyring this evening following John Joe’s appearance on the Late Late Show. They aren’t for sale. I just made one up for myself and (as you can see below) for 3 visitors to this site back in December. Thank you.
————————————————————–
The Late Late Toy Show this year will always be remembered for the appearance of JohnJoe. An 8 year old kid with a great head on his shoulders. He’s developing quite the following on the Facebook group “I want JohnJoe from the Late Late Toy Show to fix my clocks”. As of writing he has over 12,000 members.
I’m a big fan too and finally found a use for a big bag of talking keyrings I had gathering dust in the corner. Now I’ve got a portable John Joe to carry with me everywhere. I’ll have his photo on it come Monday when I get a chance to print it out.
I’ll make a couple of extras as well. Like one? Leave a comment and I’ll pick 3 randomers and stick one in the post to you.
Update : Sunday 6th December
Put out a call on Twitter for 3 random numbers between 1 and 24. 3,7 and 23 were the first set back.
Comment number 3 was from Anthony. Comment 7 from Colm Flynn and comment 23 from Rachel. Keyrings a go go for ye… Will email you for address to send them out.

Dear god … I won’t even begin to tell you how I stumbled upon this page at this hour of the morning, (I certainly wasn’t stalking bespectacled tweed-wearing seven-year-old boys) but I’m so glad I did.

John Joe is half French….
I’d nearly forgive Theirry Henri for “the incident” considering they half gave us this little Irish ledgend
Love John Joe and the keyrings are AMAZING!
