John Howard was Aussie PM.
Fair enough. I donāt follow Australian politics at all and Iām not sure when they got TV. Itās principally a UK/US thing. America hasnāt had a bald President since Ike and he defeated Adlai Stevenson who was also bald. You have to go back to Douglas Home in England and he wasnāt even elected.
Charlie was our last true bald Taoiseach. Reynolds made a pretense of having a full thatch. At least in the early years but weāve been electing hairy taoisigh since then.

I thought Gerald Ford was a bit bald? Not elected either of course.

To go off on a tangent, the other remarkable cohort of hirsute men is aging rockers. It is statitically remarkable how few of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Pink Floyd etc went bald. The only aging rocker who is obviously bald is Angus Young and he wears a cap v
Gorbachev was elected as a bald man (despite that mark) but I guess he wasnāt popularly elected - think he was just appointed by Parliament. TASE will confirm.
The Russians do things differently Rocko. Putin is a baldie in my book.
It would have been the Politburo that appointed him Iād imagine Rocko. The Bolsheviks didnāt really go in for anything as bourgeois as a parliament.
Putin was appointed by Yeltsin I think.
But he was subsequently elected by popular vote
Heās not totally bald.
Far more importantly, his girlfriend is hot, 47 year old Valerie Trierweiler, a journalist.
John Howard was and is a cunt.

Sheās very like someone I wouldnāt ride, off the telly
Thereās a bit of Vorderman about her, but in a dirtier, more knowing way. I definitely would.
Some craic in the Mexican presidential elections. This is the bird they had walking around during the television debate :lol:

Exit polls showing things are pretty much neck and neck in Greece between the main anti-bailout and pro-out parties.
They reckon they will have a clear idea of the way things are heading by midnight.
