The NTAs

[JohnnyDee]

The NTAs strike me as being a bit like asking a load of tabloid-reading drunks in a pub which shows they like the most.

It's difficult to imagine anything less sophisticated. They strike me as being the Poundland to The Oscars Marks & Spencer.

The 'nose' of the Bollinger not quite right tonight?

Touché!

Damn my aristocratic upbringing makes it so hard to integrate with 'normal' people.

I'd rather call you a bloody toff

Pure unaldutarated guff

 

[JohnnyDee]

Blimey!

An award for a proper talent, Billy Connolly.

They've lost the plot, not unless he has some odd connection to Cowell.

However I doubt it.

Is it just not an awards show voted by the public ? :mmm:

 

[Pin-seeker]

Ant n Dec won their annual award yet? zzzzzzzzzz

Sadly. Billy Connolly just got the lifetime achivement and looking very frail and old. So sad to see

 

[chrisd]

Why's anyone watching that instead of Leicester v Spurs?

 

[JohnnyDee]

Yes, I suppose it is but it irritates me that it bypasses a lot of real talent in favour of popular dross as popularised by the tabloid press.

Probably had a glass or two of vino too many and I'm being a tad too grumpy. :mmm:

It's just been on the news and showed a clip of a special award for Billy Connolly.
poor sod does not look well at all. I know originally he was a Scotish comedian but his documentary and humour had me in bits.

 

[JohnnyDee]

Yes, very sad to see him in such poor health. In his heyday he was simply hilarious (if you've not seen it seek out "An Audience with" from the 80s. Just brilliant.

He is still doing live gigs so clearly despite all the years of living elsewhere and the fame, wealth and success he's achieved, still a stubborn Scotsman underneath.

Maybe the same tabloid-reading drunks who insist on reducing everything down to three-letter acronyms just ribbing

I'll find out tomorrow at the Hammersmith Odeon…………….

Reckon he'll still be top notch. He was just a little frail and slow in his movements compared to when in his pomp - but his comedy brain seemed as sharp as ever :thup:

Had a friend who went recently and he's still got it.

Let us know how you go on.👍

I emerged a far more educated man; for example I now know why you shouldn't eat brown bread, I now know that there are such things as penile rehabilitation classes and I also know that the correct answer when offered a sled ride behind a 12 dog team is "No, thank you.", to name but three. I'd have learnt a lot more if I could have stopped laughing at some jokes in time to hear the next ones. I'd love to explain some of the above, or some of the other stuff, but it would cost me the mother of all infractions.

He certainly has. :thup:

Spot on Johnny, and once he got into it the physical impediments seemed to fade a little bit; he was never going to charge around like he used to, but he seemed to get into his stride and become more like the old Billy than the Billy we saw almost shuffle on, and if anything he was even more politically incorrect than he used to be. :thup:

He's announced some more dates at Hammersmith, if you are a fan I would thoroughly recommend a visit.
