All roads lead home.

‘After my knighthood was announced, a woman from the BBC came to Glasgow to interview me. We sat down in a lovely hotel in a nice part of town, and she hit me with her first question: “This must mean a lot to you, with you coming from nothing?” I looked at her, and I laughed.

“I did’nae come from nothing,” I told her. “I come from something.”

I grew up in the tenements of post-war Glasgow. I am very proud to be working class, and especially a working-class Glaswegian who has worked in the shipyards. I come from the working class. And, most of all, I come from Scotland.

Scotland is a unique and wonderful place. Its national motto says a lot about it: Nemo me impune lacessit. A decent translation might be: ‘By all means punch me in the nose but prepare yourself for a kick in the arse.’

I did’nae come from nothing: I come from Scotland. And this book is about why I will always be happy and proud that I do.’

Poignant Yet Hilarious

7 January 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Billy Connelly writes with characteristically frankness about his early life in Scotland and the people who influenced him. His love of Scotland and her people is apparent on every page yet he pulls no punches and the result is a brilliantly entertaining book. Just what we expect from BC and, oh yes, he always leaves us wanting more. Would have preferred this publication to have been double the size.

I have Parkinson’s and your attitude is fabulous. You have been through so much and given more. I enjoyed the humour, the positive attitude and the love in this book. Keep going strong Sir Billy.

It was just Billy as i want to remember him-funny, irreverent, and always seeking to know mire about life and the world-so he could help us see the funny side of it.

Not funny

A rather boring read, partly filled with supposed conversations with people and books that Billy liked to read. Should have stopped after the delightful tome written by his wife.
