For my sins I was stuck watching the NTA's last night rather than the FA cup. The Mrs' choice of course. I don't watch soaps very often, she does of course and I tend to know the basic story lines.
Anyway, onto my main point, Billy Connolly was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award (or something along those lines) last night. The camera panned to him earlier on in the show and I said the wife that I thought he was looking very well. It wasn;t until he got up to collect his award that it really hit home. Parkinsons is is properly taking a hold of the guy and it's so sad to see. His Comedy has been a huge part of my Teenage years and adult life. I absolutley love this guy. Was so hard to watch last night and admitadly (didn't admit to the wife) that I had a wee tear in my eye.
I've come into work today and the first thing I done was fire on Youtube and listened to him all day. Still makes me laugh even though I know the stories. Lets face it, it's not really jokes he tells, it's really funny stories about things he's been involved in or heard about himself. Absolute legend of a man
What would be your best, Joke/Story/Sketch/Song?

An Audience with Billy Connolly - "The incontinent knickers" story is my all time favourite, I laughed so much I could hardy breathe.
