Marriage is a wonderful invention: then again, so is a bicycle repair kit.

Haha classic Billy Connolly quote above – he is my absolute fav comedian and I seriously hope I get to see him live in my lifetime as no matter what show I watch he never fails to crack me up!

My mate Dan brought round the complete 8 Disc World Tour Collection the other night and we watched Scotland which was brilliant as I’ve been there before but want to spend more time there for sure…

I watched one of the England, Ireland & Wales discs last night (England) and saw Newcastle where I’m heading in 22 days! Now I’ve been there before many a time growing up but it was amazing to see it through his eyes and also seeing it as a more mature adult (yes Sarah I referred to myself as a mature adult – get over it!!! haha) as the last time I was there I was a green 22yr old with no clue about the world.

More Billy classics….

“The great thing about Glasgow is that if there’s a nuclear attack it’ll look exactly the same afterwards.”

“There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter.”

“I don’t know why I should have to learn Algebra… I’m never likely to go there.”

“The human race has been set up. Someone, somewhere, is playing a practical joke on us. Apparently, women need to feel loved to have sex. Men need to have sex to feel loved. How do we ever get started?”

“Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosey… Doesn’t try it on.”

“What always staggers me is that when people blow their noses, they always look into their hankies to see what came out. What do they expect to find?”

“I think my securities far outweigh my insecurities. I am not nearly as afraid of myself and my imagination as I used to be.”

“Who discovered we could get milk from cows, and what did he think he was doing at the time?”

“Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I’m a schizophrenic,
and so am I.”

Right before I sign off here’s a wee vid of one of the shows on the DVD :D

hahahaha i dont know what made me laugh more “Amanda” and “Mature” in the same sentence or the Billy Connelly quotes mwahahahahahahaha

I once watched a stupid movie with Billy Connelly in it. They were an old school rock band – it was really stupid and had that annoying singing guy from Love Actually in it….will have to google. But Billy Connelly said in it “If at first you dont succeed – pull your foreskin over your head” still makes me laugh hahaha
