I'm old enough to remember when people mostly did such things for their own amusement, parachute jumping would be a good example. Nowadays it's just assumed that it's in aid of something.

Edit: This was before tandem jumps - back then the only way to experience parachuting was solo.

Term of endearment maybe , but have you any idea how “ under the thumb” it sounds ??
It's a quote from the Rumpole books by John Mortimer. It's not to be taken literally, any more than "'er indoors".Term of endearment maybe , but have you any idea how “ under the thumb” it sounds ??

Well, I didn’t know that.Every day's a school day as they say.
It still sounds pretty awful, though.

People who start every other sentence with 'To be honest', 'If I'm honest', and 'I must be honest'.
Do you normally lie? Are we to take it that on the odd occasion you don't start a sentence with this you aren't telling the truth?
Isn't it a way of saying, "you're not going to necessarily like what I'm about to say and I'm not prepared to conjure up up a white lie, therefore I'm going to be up front and honest"Do you normally lie? Are we to take it that on the odd occasion you don't start a sentence with this you aren't telling the truth?
Thats a bit of a mouthful, far easier to say "I must be honest"

What I am pointing out is that people (for some unknown reason) are like putting 'If i'm honest' at the start of every like sentence for no particular reason.
They're like not being honest, they're just talking like dicks and adding words where they are not needed like.
Ken what ah mean?
Here`s something that f**ks me off. People who talk in riddles.
I have a few fannies at my work that when it comes to any sort of conversation it inevitably results in some sort of guessing f
king game as to what they`re getting at. These wks think they`re clever but the reality is they`re showing themselves to be the fkheads that they really are. By their way of it, they`re having a laugh and always on the `wind up`.
Wandering away winking thinking they have one up on whoever`s time they have wasted as they haven`t fully grasped the inane drivel they just spouted.
Pricks. Going nowhere fast pricks that most people think are basically that.
