Billy Connolly

[Graham]

Tonight Billy Connolly was interviewed on the Parkinson show.
Billy spoke at length about the wonders of wearing a kilt and about how he introduced Parkinson to kilting.

It was an unexpected promotion of the kilt, a nice surprise.

Hi Blu

'Parky' is arguably the UK's best chat show host. He is in his senior years (about 70) now but still has a wonderful laid back style and charisma.

I agree with you 110%; Billy can be a right flaming idjit.

I've always regarded Billy Connolly as an embarrassment to Scotland and I've never found him either interesting or funny, so I'm in the Hamish camp on this thread. However its re-assuring to read here that some of you actually do manage to find him entertaining.

[Iolaus]

I hear his bits a lot, on Celtic Pub Radio, It's on the Live365 network.

Billy Connelly is the Harry Lauder of our times.
