pap Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Who is your favourite world leader? The (Russian-owned) Indy poses this very question on a poll. Farage is partial to a bit of Putin. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/iv-drip/poll-nigel-farages-favourite-world-leader-is-putin-whos-yours-9226480.html Mods: can you set up a poll with the same options as the Indy one please? I think a local take might be rather fun.
buctootim Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Most leaders of big countries go through the same kind of back scratching deal making, climbing party hierachy trees in order to get elected - which makes them too self serving and dishonest for my taste. Smaller countries tend not to have that problem so much. Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark for me.

Smaller countries tend not to have that problem so much. Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark for me. Had to Google her, tbh. Seems a very political animal. Professional politician and married to Neil Kinnock's nipper ( candidate for Aberavon in 2015 ).
Bearsy Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Here is the ones i know off the top of my head: Tony Blair Boris Johnson Obamas Merkels (sp?) - she is queen of germany Kim Jong Ill Prince Naseem Hamed Sepp Blatter I don't know any others so i will be vote for one of these.
Verbal Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Here is the ones i know off the top of my head: Tony Blair Boris Johnson Obamas Merkels (sp?) - she is queen of germany Kim Jong Ill Prince Naseem Hamed Sepp Blatter I don't know any others so i will be vote for one of these. All excellent choices. Are you sure you mean Kim Jong Ill, who is now (a) dead and (b) a waxwork? Or do you mean Kim Jong-un - the one who puts people out of their misery with a flamethrower, and therefore something of a risk around waxworked dead relatives?
buctootim Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 toss up between Dalai Lama or JOhn Terry He's a princess, not a politician

Professional politician and married to Neil Kinnock's nipper ( candidate for Aberavon in 2015 ). Her policies are good but more than anything I like the way she gives it to people straight. When there was all that media gnashing about the selfie with Cameron and Obama at Mandela's memorial party her response was "so what? everybody was up dancing in the stands and we were having a laugh"
pap Posted 10 April, 2014 Author Posted 10 April, 2014 Mods; where's the poll? PS. Please add Bearsy's choices. Shocking that the Indy didn't include them, really.

Or do you mean Kim Jong-un - the one who puts people out of their misery with a flamethrower, and therefore something of a risk around waxworked dead relatives? not really sure tbh, i just heard her name & assumed she was in charge of stuff
Halo Stickman Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 All excellent choices. Are you sure you mean Kim Jong Ill, who is now (a) dead and (b) a waxwork? Or do you mean Kim Jong-un - the one who puts people out of their misery with a flamethrower, and therefore something of a risk around waxworked dead relatives? Either of those two or Tony Blair for me.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 John Connor for me. Anyone who has the nerve to send his own father back in time to a era before he was even born just in order to protect Humanity from the evil machinations of the Cyberdyne Corporation has to have balls bigger that Bill Clinton's.
JN9 Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 I liked that American one, the fighter pilot. You know the one... The guy who lead the world in a fight against those bleeding aliens (they were well annoying). No one does a speech like that guy... His name escapes me though I'm afraid.

I'd argue there is quite a bit of self-interest in that, Charlie.

You forgot :- o Dwarf Ecclestone o Donald Trump o Robert Maxwell o Vince McMahon

Or the wacky old guy who's son flew the crop duster?
pap Posted 10 April, 2014 Author Posted 10 April, 2014 Will Smith?? Bill Pullman?? Or the wacky old guy who's son flew the crop duster? Bill Pullman. One of the most generic actors ever. Good in Spaceballs.
JN9 Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Will Smith?? Bill Pullman?? Or the wacky old guy who's son flew the crop duster? Hmn... I was thinking of Pulman but now you mention it, the way that Big Willie ****ed up that one alien was quite impressive. More impressive was his one liner... Pulman may have speeches but our Willie has one liners... i'm not sure which impresses me most though...
Big Bad Bob Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Bill Pullman. One of the most generic actors ever. Good in Spaceballs. He's that generic the only film that I remember him being in is Independence Day despite IMDB claiming that he's been 80 other films or TV shows

He's also got an annoying son that seems to be part and parcel of his roles these days....
Bearsy Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 if aliens did come to visit who would they think is world leader? I reckon they would assume it was KFC colonel
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 What about The Almighty Lizard Overlord?
Big Bad Bob Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 if aliens did come to visit who would they think is world leader? I reckon they would assume it was KFC colonel Flying Spaghetti Monster
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 I'd do the job for a modest salary and a weekly supply of freshly-washed virgins.
The Cat Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 A mention here for Jose Mujica of Uruguay. He's my choice too. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/13/uruguay-president-jose-mujica
pap Posted 10 April, 2014 Author Posted 10 April, 2014 He's my choice too. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/13/uruguay-president-jose-mujica Seems like a top bloke. If only Western politicians had as much concern about the basic needs of their people.
Bearsy Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Amazed & disgust that no-one is mention baby jesus
hypochondriac Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Amazed & disgust that no-one is mention baby jesus Baby Cambridge?
pap Posted 10 April, 2014 Author Posted 10 April, 2014 Amazed & disgust that no-one is mention baby jesus Can you tell me what great things baby Jesus did, apart from becoming adult Jesus?
Bearsy Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Oh yeah but he is not world leader just yet baby cambridge is next in line tho! Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. #babycambridge
Bearsy Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Can you tell me what great things baby Jesus did, apart from becoming adult Jesus? I can never tell when ur serious! BJ is done great many things! The first thing he done is move a star so that it would be over his manger so wise mens would no where to come. Do you have any conception of what it would take to move a star? A star is a massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity. Even a small star is weigh billions & billions of tonnes! I would like to see boris Johnson or any of ur favourite world leaders move a star!

Saint in Paradise Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Surprised some of the ardent capitalists haven't gone for George Soras. Whitey, would you even live a week ? "I'd do the job for a modest salary and a weekly supply of freshly-washed virgins." On a personal level I dislike so called world leaders so wouldn't vote for any of them.

Wade Garrett Posted 10 April, 2014 Posted 10 April, 2014 Seb Coe Funny, I was thinking that as well, then I read your post. Imagine if FIFA was as honest and transparent as the IOC is now.

All well and good but it was just happy happenstance that Haley's Comet, before it was Haley's Comet, happened to be flying over the manger at the time
Kingsland Codger Posted 11 April, 2014 Posted 11 April, 2014 Maybe He didn't move the star, maybe He moved the earth! There! You hadn't thought of that, had you? Well, that's the fashionable theory, I grant you and who knows, it might catch on. I've always suspected a complex system of mirrors myself but few (if any) others have reflected in this.

I've always suspected a complex system of mirrors myself but few (if any) others have reflected in this. If they don't show up in mirrors then in my experience zombies or vampires are usually involved somewhere, sometimes both.
