Are Alan Hansen and Duncan Bannatyne good examples of Scottish gentlemen?

[thedaveformula]

As opposed to Frankie Boyle.

[NazNomad]

A good example of a Scottish gentleman is one that always appears sober and hasn't been a guest on The Jeremy Kyle Show.

lol ... JOKE

[DTCwordfan]

yes to the question. The latter doesn't deserve to be called a Scot.

Are they related as there's a bit of similarity between the two?

[cazzz1975]

well, they sound similar

[girly30]

Alan Hansen = successful sportsman and TV personality. Duncan Bannatyne = successful businessman and TV personality. FB ermmmmmmmmm

[Mick-Talbot]

Very successful comedian ^

[Arksided]

Sir Alex Ferguson and Kenny Dalglish are two other great examples. (I don't know what they're saying mostly) but one has done a great Job and the later has a big Jobby to sort out!

[Mick-Talbot]

How does anyone know?
Hansen, Bannatyne or Fergy could be wife beaters for all we know.

[girly30]

Is mick-talbot a better comedian than Frankie B?

[boxtops]

Any of the many Scotsmen I'm related to are better examples of Scottish manhood than FB.

[cazzz1975]

I think even a petite woman sould snap hansen in half

[Mick-Talbot]

NO, thousands upon thousands , would not buy tickets to watch me.
Whether you like it or not FB is a very successful comedian (millionaire comedian)

[DTCwordfan]

You deride yourself Sir, You have thousands of us in stitches here on AB......just remember our 10%

@DTcrosswordfan LOL

[oscarina]

Do any of them live in Scotland. Another good example is Sean Connery always rabbiting on about Scottish affairs and chooses to live abroad. Watched an interview on some chat show a few years back with Lorraine Kelly who "loves" Scotland but lives in England said at the time when she was leaving England to travel to Scotland she was cheering crossing the border why do they bother all lap up the luxury of living elsewhere while proclaiming to be true Scots.

[thedaveformula]

@oscarina I don't think it matters where Hansen and Bannatyne live cause they're not banging on about Scottish politicans as if they live there - unlike Sean Connery.

And to be fair, if you want to make it big in TV, you *have* to live down in London, that's where all the major studios and business is happening.

[Ankou]

what about tom farmer?

you can't get better than a kwik fit fitter.

Duncan Bannatyne served 18 months in Colchester military detention centre for trying to throw an Officer of a boat landing jetty.He also served 10 days in Glasgow's Barlinnie prison for non payment of a fine that related to a breach of the peace and resisting arrest! He was quite the wildman in his youth then!!
