This is a new regular segment I’m doing called ‘Stoner Loner or Future World Leader?’ Round one, who’s this cheery fellow?

“Shut the fuck up, Donny! V.I. Lenin. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!” As Walter Sobchak would put it.

Paul, I’ve removed your post temporarily. Because you have flagrantly breached the rules of ‘Stoner Loner or Future World Leader’ by, er, being right on the first go.
Oh and the 136 people who viewed this page for the hour minutes or so his correct answer was up (I was in Newstalk talking Michael Jackson with Tom Dunne) are also barred from entering.
Meanwhile, step up idiots… now is your time to shine!

Oh, and Pat Donnelly, for making an apparently serious stab at it and still getting it wrong I’m giving you….. 20 points.
So Pat and Matt in poll position.

Okay, time is up. Congratulations to Paul, Adrian and Sean for correctly identifying…… Councillor Luke Ming Flanagan from Castlerea!!
Or V.I. Lenin… whatever.
The next round of ‘Stoner Loner or Future World Leader’ will take place next time I stumble across a funny picture of a future world leader on Wikipedia.
