Billy Connolly - Winning Freedom of Glasgow

[Pointyears]

His personal politics and statements are rife with hypocrisies and he has a chequered history when it comes to autograph hunters - but I don't know anyone he hasn't made laug hat some point in his career. I think he's no actor so should stay away from that, but he deserved his Freedom of the City - and if no banana-boot wearing statue is erected in George Square after the Big Yin's death then Glaswegians should protest.
Anyway - sorry for rambling - Radio Scotland reported that Connolly received the freedom of the City of Glasgow and said that one of his new found priviledges was to "graze cattle on Glasgow Green" - but surely, according to ancient laws, anyone can graze cattle on the common area of Glasgow Green?

He is also entitlted to a cell on his own if he is ever arrested in glasgow. lucky him eh!

[Celyn]

So if you take your cattle to Glasgow Green, do you have to chase after them picking up their doings and put it in those dog-jobbie bags? I could *probably* think of worse ways to spend a day, but it might take some thought.

Is it just me, or has The Big Yin had a wee touch of the cosmetic surgery? His cheekbones look gey shiny.

I think he looks good (I take it it's not a wig)
Hate the way he keeps scratching his head. Always wondered if it was a calulated move to look down to earth or just nervousness.
Met him on three occasions over the years, last two times he was friendly, the first time he was a pain bit then so was I.......... probably
