I'm English and proud of it but this guy is a gem from Scotland, he made me laugh the first time on Parky, remember the bike joke, and he still makes me laugh. Scotland, if you want independence then so be it, but I think it will be a mistake, but you must decide.
My dad was his manager, Frank Lynch. Just for the record the story about my father wanting him to play it safe with that joke is not accurate. The exchange was quite the opposite, my father told him to do the joke. When my dad met Billy he was playing folk music with his banjo and peppering his performances with jokes through song. My dad was the one who said forget the folk music, you need to just do comedy. His career took off under the management of my father.
I love this clip, it pretty much profiles all of Billy within the space of a few minutes. Billy is the only comedian I know who can swear like crazy, and yet be hilarious and lovable at the same time. He's got better over the years too, not worse as some comedians do. But one of the funniest things he's ever done is An Audience with Billy Connolly, and yes it featured lots of swearing. If you've not seen it, go watch it right now!
Billy you're a legend and so is your beautiful New Zealand/Australian wife (loved her book on her Stevenson forefathers). I've followed you for years, stage, tv, dvds etc., and you have filled me with love & laughter - a reminder of my own Scottish relatives - from a New Zealand/Australian wife!

When he talks about always needing to make people laugh and going through the airport, I can really relate to that.
