Billy Connolly knighted ?


Recommended Posts

believe it or not Billys done far more for british entertainment than people seem to know or care for. Far more than "being foul mouthed"

With you on that! Billy's been having people in stitches for donkeys years and fully deserves the honour. Tough if people don't understand his humour, their loss.

Certainly more worthy than Sir Bradley Lycrabottom who managed to pedal bits off metal tube round a course a little less slowly than anybody else.

 

Having said that, these honours mean very little now anyway.

I will bet Nuffields millions that Ken Bagley's family do not get his humour.

 

As to peddling bikes and getting the honour perhaps winning the hardest sporting event on Earth for the U.K. is a non starter.

Seen Billy 3 times live and he is one of the funniest people ever.If you are offended by this type of humour don't watch it then you will have nothing to complain about.

Making jokes about people being held captive by jihadist s and then having their heads cut off is humour :help:

He got a knighthood for selling push bikes? :huh:

Just shows how meaningless these awards are then.

Totally agree.

 

Some people " get offended " on behalf of others . I liken it to watching something on TV ,then moaning that its offensive . Yet they sit and watch it rather than turn the channel over.

Are you being offended on their behalf or are you offended?

You could say that about every comedian whether its Manning sect.
