wisdom Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just seen the news and it states that Billy Connelly has received a knighthood. Well deserved in my opinion, Has made me laugh for a good many years.Made some good doccumentaries.In recent years he has battled with health issues but has remained active and just as funny.

ips Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 For what reason a knighthood Being a comedian (allegedly) ? I don't understand why so called celebs and sports people get such titles awarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me matt Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Love the big yin, I was pleased to hear earlier his contribution to comedy has been recognised, a little feel good factor before Parkinsons robs him of his mind amd body.

Terry2016 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) My favourite comedian, doesn't tell jokes as such talks more about life scenarios ... and I like that humour I once saw a show on tv where many people said that watching videos of him has helped with there conditions of illness/mental health and depression. Good on him and well deserved. others seem to think he deserves it too .. Edited October 31, 2017 by Terry2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 When I saw his name I thought o darn he's dead, glad to see he isn't, never gone out of my way to watch him but made me laugh when I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 To be fair a very mediocore comedian,the odd time i watched him i struggled to understand him.i thought he had little time for the royals anyway. If that last bit is true he'll be in the same category as "Sir" Tony Robinson, a card-carrying leftie anti-royal who gratefully lapped up a knighthood. Still, it's a neat trick when you look at it, if someone criticises your exclusive club, what better way to silence them then invite them in?

Gordon R Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Good luck to him, but I am unaware of all his charity work. Never rated him at all - never found him funny. I don't like comedians who laugh at their own jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
