bob the tank Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Connolly - funny in the seventies, then the adulation "made" him leave his prefame life behind for showbiz and actual royalty.Gervais - never funny in anything, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Gervais - never funny in anything, ever. In fairness he was quite funny in the live aid [8] 2005 concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONTROOPER Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 12 hours ago, The OP said: Billy Connolly is one of my boyhood heroes but I’m deeply disappointed he never told them to ram their knighthood right up their arses. Sure he’ll cope with my disappointment. My thoughts exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he went from being vehemently opposed to being neutral come the referendum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I had no idea that Connolly was anti-Independence as the views of ‘celebrities’ on such matters is completely irrelevant and I usually pay no attention to them. I’ll admit the exception to that rule being pissed off with Eddie Izzard, a guy I always enjoyed watching, when he supported the useless c**t Jim Murphy.

Nah, it was him dressing like a woman that got on my tits, folks can do as they please but personally I think he was just trying to get a rise out of YES voters so him and the other celebs could fire it all over twitter.

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 He's been dressing as a woman for years, so that's a load of shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 He doesn’t dress as a woman, he’s a cross dresser. It’s an expression of his cross gender identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me rephrase, he’s not trying to pass himself of as a woman or dress/act like a drag queen. He’s wearing clothes that reflect one side of his gender identity as wearing men’s clothes reflects a different side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 might be totally imagining this but was there not a poster on here who claimed that (either as a student or more specifically for his student paper, forget which) he'd managed to get an interview with Billy Connolly and was waiting in a trailer for the interview to start; the PA or whatever went in to grab Billy who asked who the interview was with, was informed it was with a student/for a student paper prompting Billy to throw a bitchfit, screaming that he fucking hates students and that he wasn't going to do the interview? The PA then had to come out and meekly apologise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Eddie Izzard dressing as a woman purely to get a rise out of bigoted Scottish nationalists is a new one to me. [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The Office (UK) is magnificent. Anybody who disagrees is a little slug with no personality. Comments about Eddie Izzard on the previous page, dressing 'as a woman' purely to get a rise from bigoted Scottish nationalists, are very embarrassing - and say more about the person making them than they do about Izzard; who, incidentally, I don't find particularly funny.

Colkitto Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Always remember Connolly stripping off naked for Comic Relief at Trafalgar Square. He ran about naked in front of a bemused public. There was a man with his little boy standing there. If i'd have been the boys father I would have booted Connolly in the bawz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
