Billy Connelly
 

That Billy Connelly does the parts of Canada less frequently travelled programme (can't think what it's officially called) is on tonight 8pm mountain time on the Knowledge Channel, I remember someone previously mentioning it when it was screened in the UK.

Re: Billy Connelly

Re: Billy Connelly

Re: Billy Connelly
 

OH YEH, how about hiding under the blankets so the monster cant get you:rofl:

I wish he would come here, he is fab:thumbup:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

He's rubbish.

In the past 20 years he's just become increasingly affected and repetitive.

Re: Billy Connelly
 

I agree with the repetitive.............

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Aren't we all, we all have the same stories, we have all visited those people who tell you the same stuff again as they are not really doing anything new as they are too old and ......cripes...think I may top myself!

Re: Billy Connelly
 

How old is too old to do new things?

Re: Billy Connelly
 

One is never too old to do new things imo.

Re: Billy Connelly
 

When my back hurts:rofl:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

I am too old to sleep on someones floor

To have sex in a car

To stay up past 1am

To eat too much hot food, I cannot believe I get indigestion now:frown:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Blimey! how old are you?? :sneaky:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

42 but people still think I am late 20's, my secret is an eighties perm, skinny legs and no children, I also have a snake type skin(inherited from my mother)that does not wrinkle much, even the doctor(who looked at my legs on hols)was like 'ooh, what weird skin you have:rofl:@



My back hurts though, years of horseriding, well falling off at speed!

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Lucky you! the only part of me that is still 20 something is the mind!:lol:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Lucky you!

My mind is about 5...so my husband says:rofl:

Inside though I feel about 100 some days, my old customers laugh when I complain about feeling my age:blink:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

:eek:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Hi I saw a preview(I'm in the UK)of a show,with his wife Pamela interviewing him.I might have missed it but it would of made very interesting viewing!

Re: Billy Connelly
 

I actually watched an interview with them once before - she went into his past where he was abused as a child etc - interesting indeed.

Re: Billy Connelly
 

I didn't know he was abused, what type?

Re: Billy Connelly
 

sexual:(

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Family?

Did anyone get locked up for it?

Friggin paedophiles, they let them out too and they do it again, I remember watching this prog and this guy was due out, he was begging them not to let him out as he knew he would do it again, for christ sakes they need to do something to either help or stop these people.....sorry I am getting wound up about the Bulger thing:frown:too

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Don't quote me but I'm thinking it was his Dad not sure what happened there, I think he's dead now.

Re: Billy Connelly
 

oh no, I didn't know that.:(

Re: Billy Connelly
 

I watched it last night. I enjoyed it.

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Sexual abuse, or the TV thing?

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Yeah I think it was his dad and auntie.

IMO - easily the funniest man in the world :thumbup:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Billy Connolly is still seriously funny "in bursts" and very sincere respectively. However, these days, I enjoy the documentaries more than the comedy routines.

Re: Billy Connelly
 

Same here, he has had his hysterical moments and is still a funny man, but I enjoy his docos these days very much. I watched that one where he went across Canada, was really cool....:thumbup:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

I hear ya Elizabeth!!

Is this the documentary following his travels around the Northern Territories/Inside Passage? .... "Journey to the Edge of the World"

Apart from the stunning scenery and cultures he came across, I just loved his humble approach to everything new and undiscovered.

Didn't fancy sitting in that tent kinda thing, sweating to death!!! :rofl:

All the best.

Re: Billy Connelly
 

I saw him in Edinburgh the night before i landed in NS in 2009 and he was brilliant :thumbup:

Re: Billy Connelly
 

That was it!!! I loved it too.:)

And I agree with you, he is a great presenter.:thumbup: I wouldn't fancy the tent either.:rofl:
