            …was it Trump that coined that soubriquet…very accurate by the looks of it…talking about long, dull speeches, he still couldn’t out-snooze our own Eamonn Ryan…

            I prefer ‘Creepy Joe’ which was a pre Trump nickname Joe earned as a result of his penchant for groping young kids and smelling young girl’s and women’s hair as he inappropriately touched them. Loves the smell of hair or hair products apparently.

            Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

            Even Biden couldn’t stand hearing so much about the Global Warming Hoax, the 7th biggest Hoax in America, followed closely behind by the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2 and, of course, the “No Collusion” finding of the Mueller Report. Biden went to Europe saying Global Warming is his highest priority, and then promptly fell asleep (https://t.me/georgenews/2907), for all the world to see, at the Conference itself. Nobody that has true enthusiasm and belief in a subject will ever fall asleep!

        What Bodger wants to say is that his orange icon would not have fallen asleep or turned up for that matter. Bodge counting the days to the return of Orangeman in 2024.

      Eh – try again.
      the speeches were 3 minutes each, unless you were a closet American exceptionalist granting yourself 11 minutes

        The Americans do take the mick alright. Do you remember how trump would speak for hours without a break.

        1. Baz

          jungleman, as I write this post you have posted twice here – where we are discussing sleeping Joe Biden – both your posts reference Trump. Everything okay hun?

          1. E'Matty

            They’re still obsessed with Trump. Weird they need to be reminded he’s no longer President. I think they kind of miss him tbh.

    it is what it is…a big fat talkshop

    and these boyz already know the plan so why wouldn’t he grab a sly bit of kip like?

    nice example of “in-a-nutshell”

      he probably knackered himself out laughing at bolsonaro’s claims that brazil is an ecological powerhouse, as another couple of thousand acres of rainforest go up in smoke.

    1. E'Matty

      Yeah, though to be fair I doubt your meetings are presented as the “last chance to avoid global catastrophe”. That being said, it’s kind of to be expected that regular naps are needed for someone of his age with his condition. He’s actually a real trooper.

      why we have auld fellas ” working ” in politics at thus age beats me

      1. SOQ

        Unlike Hillary? She’s in something Queens University Belfast now.

        It’s not homophobia love- nobody likes you- yup.

          1. Lilly

            I disagree, Janet. That’s ageism. People should be allowed to work for as long as they have something to contribute.

          4. Janet, dreams of an alternate universe

            there’s work and then there’s run the US,
            I think less responsibility and hours should come with age,
            they make you do a driving test as you get on again don’t they ? If they don’t they should, just because you feel you can contribute it does not follow you are up to it.

            David Attenborough, now, there is interesting anomaly – everybody’s favourite grandfather. The man who played with baby gorillas in the jungle. What on earth could his agenda be if not the preservation of life on this planet – and what greater ambassador for the climate change agenda than he?

            It perplexes me.

            Perhaps, he is not as one-dimensional as we all believe him to be.

            He is, however, the climate change proponents greatest media asset.

            Speaking of which I recently discovered that Ridley Scott is a member of the Royal Society. I thought he was warning us of the dangers ahead, not bloody signposting them.

          9. Lilly

            Oh dear. Let’s pick someone closer to home so, the recently departed Paddy Moloney. Backtrack a year: are you really going to say, put away those bagpipes Paddy, and put your hands together for this fine, dextrous 22-year-old who is going to give us a nice slow air.

          10. benblack

            Both subjective examples, Lilly, is all I’m saying.

            There is no obligation on anyone of any age to contribute to the wider society.

            It’s called being free.

          11. Lilly

            Who said anything about obligation? ‘Want to work’ is not too difficult to understand. Believe it or not, some people enjoy their work and wish to keep doing it – until they don’t.

          13. benblack

            Wanting to work and having one’s work evaluated for its’ contributory benefits are two different concepts, Lilly.

          15. Lilly

            Hang on a second, I wasn’t arguing for special treatment of older people in the workplace. Everyone’s contribution is evaluated no matter what age they are, that’s a given. What I am saying is they should get the same respect as any other cohort irrespective of the colour of their hair. Dismissing them as ‘auld fellas’ or ‘auld wans’ is not on.

            As for repeat driving tests, AFAIK anyone who gets a medical diagnosis that suggests cognitive impairment has to redo their driving test, whether they are 40 or 80.

          16. Janet, dreams of an alternate universe

            ah look I know I was being flippant but I believe a younger generation in politics would be more appropriate

          17. Lilly

            Fair enough. I believe all age groups bring something valuable to the table, and we should strive to make that possible.

          18. Janet, dreams of an alternate universe

            I agree actually, I just think a majority of older men are not necessarily the best people to be making the decisions for the rest of the world

          19. Lilly

            Yes, and any policy that seeks to exclude the elders would see the few remaining women get pushed out first.

    1. hmmm

      You’re “evidence” is bunk as per usual.

      No sign of the little ice age, the medieval warm period, the roman warm period…

      It’s like your cult just makes things up, calls them “Science” and then bullies people into accepting the fake as true.

      How was the 0.0 decided? i makes it look like there was a -5 to +5 change…. but if you take an average over the full 2000 years it would be much,much lower and the graph would feel very different.

      This shows the last 202000 years:

    I have fallen asleep at some events, including nights out, but never at one I regarded as of historical importance.

    In fairness though, when the messaging is constant, utterly uniform, simple, and devoid of alternative viewpoints of any kind, it’s hard not to tune out.
