Billy Connolly, Coming to the End.

I saw him on the Telly the other night and I thought he had aged an awful lot and didn't look too well....Then this in the News this Morning.

Re: Billy Connolly, Coming to the End.

I met him before he was really famous, I was working in a Pub near the Train n Bus Stations. He came in to wait as he'd missed his train, it was some night I can tell you, once he got a couple of pints in him there was no stopping him, the place was in an uproar. Best night I ever had at work..

I like him, Roxy. It is very sad news.

I met him on our beach talking a walk, he is a lovely man, very witty.

I saw him on TV too (had me in stitches) but I think that programme was a few years old.

The programme I was referring to LD was called "Made in Scotland", on BBC2. I don't think it's all that old.

Ah, I see, I was watching the Bafta presentation with Parky.

Re: Billy Connolly, Coming to the End.

Billy has always been one of my comedy heroes. A very funny man if a little naughty with his language. Some of his deep and meaningful anecdotes on life have left me in tears of laughter and with a great admiration for a comedy genius.

Very nicely said, and my sentiments exactly. I wished we talked more about death so people didn't feel like they had to face it with such aloneness.
