The Big Yin

Scotland's greatest source of wisdom, or a sweary, angry, middle-aged man with a beard. Well, both versions are pretty funny...

Billy Connelly does it for me every time! I just can't stop crying when he's in full flow, and if I'm watching him on video or DVD, I have to rewind whole routines to catch something he said because I'm laughing so hard at the previous sentence. He's so observant of human nature and everyday, but has a certain knack of putting the point across in the most humorous way. No subject is sacred, yet I haven't found anything he's done offensive.

Whether it's a country song with all the miseries of humanity piled one after another, a story about two Irish tourists in Rome drinking pints of the 'green stuff the Pope favours', or his theory of the madman who sneaks around following drunks and throwing diced carrots into their vomit, he's a unique visionary. And, like many comedians, he's also proven himself as a solid actor in films such as The Big Man and Mrs Brown.

Ah. Great to find another follower of Mr. Connolly's words of wisdom.

D.I.V.O.R.C.E. is one of my favourite songs of all time You know if you can get recordings of his others?

A fine fellow indeed

aha! thanks for the extra info... i am sure The Librarian will link Billy Connelly, The Big Yin, in

for those of you making a list of contributions of your muses for the Private Collections Room... here is how you do it:

1. in notepad or textedit save your links and text as such:
( no links with ampersands )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loony_Toons Classic Looney Tunes !!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyxPxpSvXQ8 Kill the Wabbit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B6TqlUgyHw Beep Beep

use this code for 2. ( no air between " " and > < )

2. finished code to post here with your collection name and your Unumber:

fluffykerfuffle collection U8401460

Classic Looney Tunes !!
Kill the Wabbit
Beep Beep

actually, since THIS one is going to be one line in my collection, looking like this:

<./>Classic Looney Tunes</.> - <./>Kill the Wabbit</.> - <./>Beep Beep</.>

i would post it like this:

Classic Looney Tunes !! - Kill the Wabbit - Beep Beep


if you substitute test for A in the Private Collections Entry you can see how the coding goes
hope this isn't too confusing
