Welcome to Litsy!

Not sure if this has this quote but I just loved the quote so I wanted to share 🥰📖

I absolutely love Billy Connolly! He always makes me laugh and smile. Whenever I‘m feeling flat or low, a good dose of Billy always cheers me up. This book is wonderful. A really great snapshot of his early life and career in Glasgow. Well worth reading. He doesn‘t mention ‘The old lady on a bus‘ but it is still one the funniest stories I‘ve ever heard in my life. I cry with laughter EVERY time I hear it.

#bookreport #hiselderliness is back to talking about books this week - it seems miraculous, even though I‘m not sure about his memory some days.
I‘m surprised he got through Barrow‘s Boys because it seemed quite lengthy and academic. “I read it ALL” he announced proudly “its a bit complicated but there was enough interesting bits to keep me going”
As for Billy “he‘s a mad bugger” Does that mean you enjoyed the book? He just rolled his eyes. ⬇️

Billy Connolly is always #Hilarious - even in adversity. His 2017 Comic Relief video had people laughing and crying in equal measure “"Hello. Billy Connolly here, asking for your cash. No not for me obviously. I've got cancer and Parkinson's, and I need a haircut but no."”

I really enjoyed Billy Connolly's memoir. Great conversations (especially the art one with John Byrne) and reflections on how Scotland shaped him. The photos and their accompanying captions were fun too.

TFW the one book you really want to read right now is the one you apparently left at the office, because you were reading it at lunchtime.

“life is better with swearing”. Word, Billy. Another long driving weekend, this time for a family funeral. Taking my mind off the sad listening to The Big Yin‘s autobiography

This was simply brilliant - Billy's love story to Scotland. Made more poignant by his honesty about Parkinson's Disease and how it affects him.
Gordon Kennedy narrates the audio and is he perfect choice, a couple of times, I almost forgot that it wasn't actually Billy speaking. Glimpses of comedy gold throughout.
A sure fire 5🌟 end to January.

Picked this up as a Christmas present but after reading the blurb, I think I might want to steal it back 😂😂 #ProudToBeScottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
