    I have an idea, Glasgow airport should be renamed Billy Connoly airport. After all he has flown all over the world and the whole of Glasgow love him. God Bless you Billy and thank you for all the times you made us cry with laughter.

      I mean, okay. But you know he would haaaaaaate all that ceremonial nonsense, right? If we're gonna name something after the Big Yin, it should be the best, friendliest and most convivial pub in Scotland, where the beer flows freely and banjo players go wild on a Saturday night.

    I can not tell you how much I adore this man. I have never said this before, but he has saved my life again and again. I listen to a piece of his great body of work every single day, whether it’s music, comedy acts, interviews, specials, documentaries. He changed my outlook and philosophy about life, love, forgiveness, and LIVING (and improved my taste in music!) Thank you Billy for sharing with us all these years. The world and I are better for it. ♥️

      @aderynmawr Před 3 lety +2

      Yeah I totally get what you mean. I adore him and believe that I have just about every recorded word he ever said. Unfortunately, it’s spread throughout my collection of DVDs, VHS cassettes, audio cassettes, LPs, CDs, VCDs and four computers. When I win the lottery I’ll pay someone to drag it all together so I can find what I bloody want!
      I was looking for him saying “Sean Connery said to me Billy, you’re a shite... for shore eyesh” so obviously, I searched for those two names. I knew it wasn’t here, I suspect it maybe from one of the “World Tour” clips. If anyone knows, give me a shout please?

    • @NxDoyle
      @NxDoyle Před 7 lety +33

      What utter bollocks. Pamela was already an established actor in Australia before her move to the UK and being part of a landmark sketch comedy in NtNON. Her casting in Hollywood roles after meeting Billy came from that (and her beauty), not him. And her most significant achievements came in the field of of psychology, not entertainment.
      Add to that the fact they have been together nearly 40 years, married nearly 30, and your comment is reduced to the literally ridiculous.

      Stephen Reeds:... wow!!! I can't believe ill-informed idiots like you are allowed to comment!!! Not that I would want to prevent you, because you're such a clutz it's actually entertaining (NOT a compliment, I ASSURE you!!!) Pamela has many talents, another commenter has listed lots so I won't, but sufficed to say, her input on Not The Nine O'clock News ALONE makes you look the knowledgeless cretin you clearly are. Peace.
