The #BigYin is in full form despite some challenges. Cannae Wait for his new book to be available. #TheAccidentalArtist.
“Jesus Christ, is that the time already?”
Bravo to the #BigYin. #Bravo! Clearly, he's still alive and kicking. #BillyConnolly.
Was watching an episode of Billy Connolly Does..... so paused the TV and did a quick graphite drawing of him on brown ribbed kraft paper

As well as making me laugh through my years, so much common sense from this man. Time to pull on my hat, coat, and boots ...
And I may have to watch a few episodes of Billy's "World Tour of New Zealand" later ... I have "a few" of his DVDs ... 😂
‘Life is supposed to be fun. It's not a job or occupation. We're here only once and we should have a bit of a laugh.’
Happy birthday Big Yin.

In the early 80's I was part of a queue of approx 3000 hairy youths that's stretched down Renfield St waiting to see Iron Maiden or Whitesnake (can't remember which) at the Apollo when Billy Connoly wandered out of the pub next door to the Pavillion only to be greeted by our massed
"Haw, Big Yin!"
To his credit he continued down the road until he could escape into Sauchiehall St.
That's my only "when I met Billy" story...
