This wonderful man radiates humanity even from the depths of his health issues. This is how we humans are meant to live out our time. God bless the Big Yin. Love him to bits.
There will never be another Billy in my lifetime, not just to make me laugh but most of all be an absolute pleasure to listen to and watch his passage through life.
Every second of that was SO natural. Billy just makes people feel at ease right enough! Nice words from Eddie Reader at the end, you could tell she genuinely loves him 😊
Brings tears to my eyes to see this man wilt as he goes through his days with what may take him from us...yet he remains a light that flickers with memories and stories.....His existence has meant more than the fame he has, he will always be larger than life. Billy is a Scottish story of who we are, without apology. I am forever reminded of my days in and around Glasgow before I emigrated to Canada, now 43 years ago. I treasure them all, the struggles, the life we all had then, the laughter and reality of an amazing city...Glasgow, second to none....Billy puts meaning to this, but speaks of being a scot
My God! This is how you leave a legacy 🙂. God bless you Billy! You've had one hellovA ride, A comedian, an actor, a documentarian!!!! carry on my wayward son!
what a tremendous organisation the Men's Sheds association is. It is great to see the level of skill and talent here, but most of all, the great sense of camaraderie which these sheds offer.
It's nice that, even as the Parkinson's makes him ever more stiff and slow, his mind is still the fastest, most natural wit we've ever seen. .... and his Humanity is ALWAYS THERE. ... I definitely will NOT handle it well when Billy passes.
Its funny how much more fitter, and energetic older people are today, than in the past. I remember when i was a boy around 30 years ago, people in their sixties would already have walking sticks, going etremely deaf, etc etc.
"What're you making?" "It's a dispatcher. We've got a lot of problems with grey squirrels round here." "You do?" "Aye, but they're good for eating." "The greys?" "Aye, they've got a nutty flavour to them." Imagine you're in your shed and Billy Connolly comes in and YOU get to tell HIM a funny wee story.

I remember not understanding old people but now I'm one of them. This shop is a great idea.
ha ha so relateable😅

Most of us grow old.
Remember that when you have 2 make decissions in how you vote,how you treat old people yourself,
Beautifully spoken, mate...
I know Billy is treated like a deity in Glasgow, but even so. Also Glasgow now is very different to what it was 43 years ago.

I wish this was longer, an absolute Gem. John, Australia.
I wish this sort of crap was banned from TH-cam.
@@bdave2049 What the stuff you posted you mean, they'll just treat you like a spoilt kid whining because he's had his toys taken away. Diddums.
It is, it's part of a documentary Billy made called Made In Scotland.
@@irbennett I couldn't care less whether he made it in Scotland or on Mars. Men's sheds are total crap.
@irbennett Oh, diddums to those pathetic men who go to men's sheds or men's groups because they might get girl germs.
Nice to see Billy still has the banter 😂
Billy, ever the legend!
Awe, You are one of Our National Treasures, Big Yin, Love You Billy Connolly and Stay Safe, Stay Safer Everyone, XX
Thx Deborah, stay safe :o)
@@ukmensshedsassociation Thanks and I Love Billy Connolly and you Stay Safe Too, XX
Billy Connelly is.. and will always be till the end of time..The FUNNIEST.. THE GREATEST MAN TO WALK THE EARTH..BILLY IS A UNIVERSAL TREASURE ..!!!
agreed!
The greatest man to walk the earth till the end of time? Steady on. He's also a universal treasure, that doesn't even make sense.
what a tremendous organisation the Men's Sheds association is. It is great to see the level of skill and talent here, but most of all, the great sense of camaraderie which these sheds offer.
Thanks Stablefairy. We're so looking forward to more Sheds re-opening as lockdown eases. The pandemic has hit people so hard!
Beautiful people
And yes Billy is second to none
Today at coffee shop, heard about Men's Shed, very interesting.
You can learn more about Sheds here menssheds.org.uk/
Wow still looks great at his age
Thanks, Billy. Always great.
Fact!
It's nice that, even as the Parkinson's makes him ever more stiff and slow, his mind is still the fastest, most natural wit we've ever seen. .... and his Humanity is ALWAYS THERE. ... I definitely will NOT handle it well when Billy passes.
Such an irrepressible spirit, wonderful man!
Absolute legend.....
The definition of a Diamond Geezer

@MichaelKingsfordGray Your right, i had to write it down three times. Lulz!
death once said to life: why does everyone love you but hate me? Life’s reply: because you are a painful truth and I a beautiful lie.
Same question asked still in S Wales and the North of the miners…hence voting Labour always and swinging the No 10 vote often and the WAG always.
"What're you making?"
"It's a dispatcher. We've got a lot of problems with grey squirrels round here."
"You do?"
"Aye, but they're good for eating."
"The greys?"
"Aye, they've got a nutty flavour to them."
Imagine you're in your shed and Billy Connolly comes in and YOU get to tell HIM a funny wee story.
Ha ha love it!
The big yin at the men's sheds
He really was one of a kind!
“Behind every miserable old bugger, there is a reason”. Usually a redhead. 😳
ha!
I'm not a fookin Wildabeast.
ha ha classic! There are no mirrors in the serengeti, you can be anything you like!! - words to live by!

Billy's voice and take on things will be sorely missed thank goodness we have all his work to remember him by
