We also referred to them as noddies or noddy bags. No idea why.Ha ha why did we call them jonnies back in the day.
I absolutely refuse to do bungee jumps. I came into this world on a bust rubber and I’m fucked if I’m leaving on one.The mind boggles. Who would use damaged jonnies?
Not swearing in front of your mam is a respect thing, largely missing from todays society. I remember the first time I heard my old man say fuck, it was in the tap room of his local and I was 18.A true story, when I was about 4 I apparently asked my Dad what holding two fingers up meant. My old fella who looked after us whilst my mum was working evenings said it was a rude word, he wouldn't tell me but I wouldn't stop asking him. Eventually he said, "ok I'll tell you but you mustn't ever say the phrase" explaining it meant "fuck off" stopped my incessant questioning.
So later in the evening my mum arrived home from work, my dad said "it's time for bed son, I replied "fuck off, I'm not tired".
My dad said in later years him and my mum couldn't contain their laughter as I was sent to bed.
Ironic thing was my mum passed 5 years ago and I never once swore in her company and I never heard her swear until the night she died. She was in Hospital and an overweight auxiliary nurse passed her bed, she said "there's some right fat buggers that work here"!
First time I ever heard a female use the "f" word was a cashier in a betting shop I worked at in the very early 80's. It was shocking at the time and was never used anywhere other than in male company.Not swearing in front of your mam is a respect thing, largely missing from todays society. I remember the first time I heard my old man say fuck, it was in the tap room of his local and I was 18.
For those looking for the joke here, you can fuck off :p
