Bob Geldof Turned Down Irish President (Too Busy) 🤔

Bob Geldof was asked if he'd run to be President of Ireland and said no—not because he's unqualified, but because he's too busy. Which is either brutally honest or a polite way of saying "I'd rather not, thanks." Fair play to him for not pretending he's got time to run a country while doing whatever else he's up to.

But here's the thing: if someone admits they don't have time to lead a nation, what does that say about the people who do take the job and still squeeze in Arsenal matches and charity dinners? Maybe Geldof's the only honest one here.

If you were offered your dream job but knew you'd be rubbish at it because you're too busy, would you take it anyway or be honest like Geldof?
