Title: You must answer Post by: RED-DOG on March 26, 2015, 01:37:59 PM within 30 seconds of reading the question. No timebank, no peeking at other answers. (If there are any) There will be a long blank space below the question to prevent accidental cheating.
Prepare to time yourself. Look at your watch or the clock on your computer and be strict. 30 seconds. Now for the question. Nominate a celebrity to rule the world. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: RED-DOG on March 26, 2015, 01:38:44 PM lol.

Title: Re: You must answer Post by: AndrewT on March 26, 2015, 01:59:40 PM Yer man that's the head clever guy at Google.
He can keep the chair warm until an artificial intelligence can take over. This is a serious answer - I really don't think a human is the best person for the job. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: DungBeetle on March 26, 2015, 02:01:30 PM Dermot O'Leary.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-suvkwNYSQo Only recently become a Fry fanboy, but don't think he'd do a bad job. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: DaveShoelace on March 26, 2015, 02:32:33 PM I would also have said Fry if I'd have thought about it. Currently reading Arnie's biography which is why he was top of mind.
Title: Re: You must answer Post by: Tal on March 26, 2015, 02:34:13 PM Why would we want someone who was famous for doing something else to rule the world?
I wouldn't think Barack Obama was an ideal candidate for Chelsea goalkeeper any more than I would think Gary Barlow would make a good head of the International Monetary Fund. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: titaniumbean on March 26, 2015, 02:37:45 PM Ian Hislop

I'd love to see Obama in goal for Chelsea. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: kinboshi on March 26, 2015, 04:48:19 PM Immediate thoughts:
Stephen Fry, David Attenborough, Bill Gates.... With Carragher and Neville in charge of Defence. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: Ironside on March 26, 2015, 04:50:47 PM Dave swallow would make budget day intresting

Title: Re: You must answer Post by: edgascoigne on March 26, 2015, 08:56:06 PM Stephen Fry Just read through and don't know what I make of picking the 'sheep' answer. Quite something for a chap to achieve such 'unanimous' (not literal, obviously) recognition as being a good egg - I think he would probably be quite touched to see this, small world that we are. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: BorntoBubble on March 26, 2015, 09:03:56 PM I thought clarkson first but I think it was because I was reading about clarkson before reading this thread
I agree with the fry answer. I love his interview about God Title: Re: You must answer Post by: tikay on March 26, 2015, 09:20:48 PM Hector. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: Kmac84 on March 26, 2015, 10:04:07 PM Pope Frank

When does he take over? Seems like a popular choice.

I know he isn't a celeb and it took more than 30 seconds, but equally sure that wouldn't bother our new leader. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: celtic on March 27, 2015, 04:32:04 PM Would he be a popular leader across the world? Title: Re: You must answer Post by: Woodsey on March 27, 2015, 04:37:32 PM Would he be a popular leader across the world? A good number of places he would not be just because he is gay. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: celtic on March 27, 2015, 04:59:11 PM Would he be a popular leader across the world? A good number of places he would not be just because he is gay. Well, it was rhetorical question, but you're right, I couldn't imagine North Korea and Russia best pleased. Could see them get the nukes out for this one. Title: Re: You must answer Post by: kinboshi on March 27, 2015, 05:25:59 PM Would he be a popular leader across the world? A good number of places he would not be just because he is gay. Well, it was rhetorical question, but you're right, I couldn't imagine North Korea and Russia best pleased. Could see them get the nukes out for this one. Russia has a gay leader at the moment. Not sure North Koreans have a great deal of say about their leader at the moment, so can't see why they'd be too upset with Fry?
