[Bobbisox1]

Love this man, he always makes his adventures so watchable

[tamaris]

I thought he was ill

[ummmm]

He is ill.

[Bobbisox1]

He did seem to struggle talking and yes he is ill with Parkinson's , I still enjoyed it tho

[Baldric]

Can't stand the man after he said this,

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3611852/Its-the-way-he-tells-them.html

// "I see Ken Bigley every morning, and I'm disappointed that he's not dead yet," he wisecracked just days before the unfortunate British hostage was duly executed. "Aren't you the same as me, don't you wish they would just get on with it?" //

[ummmm]

I went to watch him live. He was very good.

[Bobbisox1]

OMG Balders, I ner knew of that

[Bobbisox1]

*never*

Nobody, not even Baldric can be on the money 100% of the time.

Anyway, there's qualification of the offending quote in that 15 year old article if one cares to read it through.

His life is a lot more fruitful and exciting than viewing AB 24/7 and picking fault with posters. Also a very talented banjo player, along with many other instruments.

I like him, he does not go around in his life correcting people’s spelling/ punctuation. Maybe that’s why he is so popular .

[ummmm]

He might only do it to a select few, Anne :-)

[naomi24]

Can't stand him. Foul mouth.

[anneasquith]

He may ummm. :*)

[jno]

foul mouth? Billy Connolly? I'm shocked...

[237SJ]

I met him once. He said how pleased he was go get away from Glasgow. A nice bloke.

[david small]

Never liked him foul mouth, ego enormous, not my sort of Scotsman.

[ummmm]

I've never noticed him having a foul mouth.

[237SJ]

Have you met him though? When you meet people you tend to see the real person and not the person that is portrayed in the media.

[ummmm]

Many users of this site know people really well from just reading a newspaper!

[teacake44]

Many many people met Jimmy Savile, and thought they knew him. Many many read about JS and thought they knew him. JS talent a big fat zero, a dressed up clown and phoney fundraiser. At least Billy appears to show his true colours. But who knows.
