For a country with such a small population, Scotland has produced more than its share of gems. The accent, the critical mind, the balls of brass. Bravemouth

How anyone can dislike this guy is beyond me. He is, and always has been absolutely hilarious. There will never be another one like Billy!

[@lordlucan7348]

The man is, hands down, the funniest stand up ever to grace the boards. I only wish that he was able to comment on the world now. We desperately need someone to pick the woke world to pieces. Take care Billy, you are sorely missed.......

Love Billy Connolly. I was an usher at the Sydney Opera House and worked on his shows there. He’s so funny and even though I heard the same stories over and over each night, I still laughed at them every night.

[@ssmith278]

@@Pumpherstonsmith Submarines very rarely use active sonar as it gives away their position. Subs mostly use passive sonar and if both subs were running silent, then either one would be hard to hear. Heh, heh...a window on a submarine? What next ? Screen doors? I think cameras mounted externally would not be a bad idea, but you probably wouldn't see far enough to avoid a collision, especially if the sub is at depth and/or it is night time. Light falls off rapidly underwater. Yeah they could use lights...but an ASW airplane or satellite might spot it.

[@KermitFrogThe]

I like Billy, and sketches like this prove why. He comes up wit something seemingly simple and wildy ridiculous at the same time which just makes it hilarious. A window on a weapons grade submarine. Even with the glass technology and sealing we have now this would be insane, as well as rendering a lot of the stealth techcausing the crash to fail. The sheer impracticality is part of what makes the solution so appealing. The pick up the phone is similar to what should happen when you know there are other countries who use those waters for training. Boviously only giving the information to allies and not detailed paths, more general, we'll be playing in this part of the sandpit, you play somwhere else. I do remember the critique of the human element in one of the Iraqi wars. Apaches out on training exercise, too expensive to actually send into active battle, on their way back one of them wasn't recognised by the automated detection system so passed over to the human being. Time to make a decision 3 seconds at most, image too blurred for computer to recognise, maybe some sand kicked up and troop without knowedge of the impending return, erred on the side of paranoid, it being war and all, fired on the helicopter. I remember sayign at the time the issue was he'd not seen anything like that while monitoring the warzone so naturally fired on them, basically taking the mick out of the US making a weapon that cost to much to use as a weapon. In truth of course I felt for all involved, but that's not funny and humour helps cope with tragedy.

[@c5gcd]

Like you, I love the idea of a window on a weapons grade stealth submarine. I mean, imagine what would happen if somebody accidentally switched the light on. You'd definitely need curtains.
