Never heard of Billy Connolly? That's some rock you live under. :)
ReplyDeleteYup, It's bigger than I thought! :)
DeleteBilly's hilarious. Not so much when he starts spouting off about politics, but, sadly, that's true of way too many folks.

Yup.
DeleteRabid leftist.
He is the father in "The Boondock Saints" 1&2.
ReplyDeleteCheck him out in Boondock Saints. Fine Irish guy like you I can’t believe you missed that movie.
ReplyDeleteHe's been a big deal since the late 80s/early 90s. Literally at the sunset of his career by now. And funny as hell when he tries a little, and SsTFU about American politics. People who come from countries where politics involves tossing bombs back and forth should probably stay off the topics of politics and religion entirely, as a standard rule.
ReplyDeleteFrom all of here in middle NH to all the rest of you deplorable bastards, have a safe, day of remembrance of the price of our freedoms, and a somber reflection on the state of affairs today. I have an image that is appropriate to the day but don't see any way to insert it here.
ReplyDeleteGad Bless you all. Stay safe and keep your muskets close.
Better catch up on all you've missed. My friend Chris brought some Billy Connolly records home in '82 or '83 after a trip to the auld country. There's lots of him on yewtube.

Agreed - great in Boondock Saints - Best quote (not in Saints) - Growling at the Badger.
ReplyDeleteI'll always remember his line, " The Scots are so white they look blue". My wife can't understand a word out of his mouth and wonders what I am laughing about.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Can't figure out what the brits are saying. shrug
DeleteHe is a funny guy, but in LaLa land when it comes to politics. This is fun clip and Liz is adorable:

He did an excellent job in "Mrs. Brown", a true-ish story about Queen Victoria and her horsekeeper.
