Todd & Rick, to be honest ....

[WET 24/7]

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how often Toddler and Rick say "to be honest" ?

To be honest, its quite funny once you become aware of it !!!!

To be honest, id like to see the Walky boys continue on their merry way today at the Valley, but to be honest they prolly will ... to be honest of course !!!!

[Nick Short]

They'll grow out of it! Malcolm Wilson (now Ford rally manager) used to say "I mean..." everywhere there was a verbal comma during interviews. "I mean, the car was performing very well, I mean, but we had trouble with the gear ratios, I mean..." etc. There's quite a few sports stars who say "Look..." at the start of every reply to an interviewer. I think it must be a hard habit to break when it's done unconsciously.

[HSVGTS]

Honest ,, ARE YOU BEEING HONEST,

[Andrew]

Or footballers (AFL) who say, "Yeah, nah, the boys pulled together today..." when answering something. Well either it is a "yes", or a "no".

[Oh Five]

another one is "at the end of the day........":)

[brchi17]

we're just taking it one day/race/game at a time :D !!!

[HSVGTS]

or if a football team has a win like carl,mel,rich,adel, the commentators always say their back in town :laugh4:

[BB]

Yeah, but like, you know, its like they are like really honest, coz like if you say so, you must be, like right yeah?

[sad]

to be honest rick's a crybaby talentless idiot who only gets wins and so on because of one thing $$$

SUBconsciously it would be a hard habit to break. UNconsciously it would be almost impossible.:D

Yeah no worries. :rolleyes:

[sad]

Yeah no worries. :rolleyes:

BTW I am a holden fan, I just don't think rick is as good as he thinks he is.

[wayno]

I wish I was talentless and could have two Bathurst victories and a touring car championship under my belt.
Fair enough if you think he has an ego problem. That's your opinion and I have no problems with that. But saying he's talentless is a bit much in my opinion.

:eek::eek::eek: how did you come up with that ?

reads to me like someone is fishing :D

[HDTHSVHRT]

TO SAD: How can you say Rick has no talent and has an ego problem? :rolleyes: I think its his character you dont like, thats why you dont like him and youre saying all this crap! which sais a lot about your username! :p

to be honest i think its sad that sad is sad to be honest :D:p

[moxo]

to be honest i think its sad that sad is sad to be honest :D:p

I mean, at the end of the day, you can only take it one post at a time. Everyone pulled together and it was the whole team. To be honest, Rick's where he is because he's very fast and consistent.

If he's not the most exciting bloke in the world, so what?

Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake both say "I mean" a lot. Glenn Seton got the nickname 'Sunset' for saying "at the end of the day" too much.

Michael Schumacher is another who says "to be honest" a great deal. I just say "um" far too much. Phrases or noises like that give you a chance to think - at the end of the day, to be honest, it's better to stop and think, but that's, um, hard to do.

[wayno]

Michael would have said "to be honest" a lot because it was something he wanted to be but never quite achieved. :p

well i just don't appreciate a comment he made a while ago insinuating he was better than someone i consider a legend.BTW he gives me the impression he'd be the president of his own fan club.If you ask me he'll never be a Brock type

[sad]

I am really sorry I don't worship prince rick I thought this was a democracy where everyone is entitled to their opinion.BTW Depression is not a laughing matter!.

[wayno]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you come in with confronting language like you used mate then you have to expect a reaction from others that don't have the same views as you. ;)

[sad]

all i said was i think he's SERIOUSLY overrated.His comment about brock being not as good as everyone thinks is what really peed me off.I'll leave then if it will please everyone.

[wayno]

to be honest ????'s a crybaby talentless idiot who only gets wins and so on because of one thing $$$

Fine. Leave it there if you want. Re-read your post and think how you would react if this was said by a third party about someone you followed and respected.

[sad]

ok i'm sorry i see you point i just really get annoyed when people carry on as if he's the messiah.

[Dingo]

ok i'm sorry i see you point i just really get annoyed when people carry on as if he's the messiah.
Nah he's just a very naughty boy :D

[sad]

Nah he's just a very naughty boy :D

thanks for the laugh dingo i needed that LOL!:D

[Holden2003]

I think most of the forum have dissed you enough sad. However, how does a driver with no talent finish 15 of 17 races this year on the podium and finshes the remaining 2 races 4th? Remember he earned seats in HYL & Kmart long before his parents took over Kmart.

Ricks problem, as the commentators stated it today is that he hasn't won races and poles. No one remembers they guy who comes second, therefore Rick is often overlooked. Its only a matter of a few tenths that separates Rick from Pole and a few more race wins.

Back to the thread. Another phrase that used to annoy me was Mark Skaife who often says 'happy hunting ground'. He doesn't say it as much now as he used to.

[toddy05]

at the end of the day, with all due respect, to be completely honest, now I have forgotten my point.

[sad]

OK maybe no talent was a overreaction maybe just not as much as some he seems to believe he's better than.

[HDTHSVHRT]

I agree with your view on what Rick said about Brock, he probably ate soap after he realised what he said.

[HDTHSVHRT]

LOL!

[HDTHSVHRT]

ok i'm sorry i see you point i just really get annoyed when people carry on as if he's the messiah.


Well I dont think that, I just marvell at his ability to be consistant at acumalating points and has every chance of winning a second championship, now if he can do that he will shut everyone up! :cool:

[Holden2003]

.If you ask me he'll never be a Brock type

Who cares if he is a Brock type? I want to Remember Rick Kelly for being Rick Kelly, not being like Brock. The same goes for any other sportsman. Everyone is an individual and should be remembered for who they are, not who they were like.

Jeff Fenech saying love ya all:laugh4:

I agree,all i meant was i read a comment somewhere a while ago comparing the two.I don't agree but its just my thoughts

[trustme]

for years Jim Richards would always answer an interviews qustion by starting his sentence with "yes, no" every time.

Then I heard Steven Richards do it. To be honest, it was doing my head in.

He came into our Cafe once and said. "Do we order here or do YOUS come out" I nearly laughed in his face -- Nearly:D

[sad]

Now i forgot to mention sorry if i come across as rude or arrogant but having a brain injury will do that.(NUMEROUS surgeries for a medical condition)

[HSVGTS]

yeah thinking about it your right , cheers

[awawaw]

what about "mr thats special" always ending a sentance with a question, have a listen next time you watch the footy, he does, doesnt he?

[sad]

I'm assuming you mean a certain channel 7 type who was involved in bathurst coverage in the early '90's?

[Nick Short]

SUBconsciously it would be a hard habit to break. UNconsciously it would be almost impossible.:D

Doing something unconsciously is doing it without awareness of it. You don't actually have to be unconscious to do it!

Thats funny. I always thought that if you were unconscious you wounld'nt be thinking about much at all.:rolleyes:

[SWRT]

To be honest...Somethimes I think Todd lets his brother beat him in races of like at the Clipsal this year lets him past, he should be dropped by HRT for such miscounduct!

[Leigh]

To be honest...Somethimes I think Todd lets his brother beat him in races of like at the Clipsal this year lets him past, he should be dropped by HRT for such miscounduct!

Over the years, many drivers have appeared to let another specific driver past when they are behind them...I remember when Tander was younger he'd always fall off the road when Lowndes got behind him, Rick used to do it with Ingall (although Ingall did help sometimes;))...Once these drivers gain confidence in their own abilities, they no longer have that problem...Rick and Garth can now race with anybody!

[AmonFan]

my favs in the 90s were
"you got to take the good with the bad" by a former hard charging sometime Ralt RT4 driver who's luck eludes him @ Bathurst

and "thats the game we play" by Peter Dane's old sparring partner in the Laser days ;)

You mean "Love Youse All" don't you?

Oops - diodn't realise it was already spotted.

The most common thing that most sportspeople, especially over here in NZ seem to always slip into interviews is "you know". It becomes really annoying when you listen out for it and keeps popping up.

Oh, so true. I would love to hear a reporter come back with.
"Well, actually we dont know, thats why I asked you the question."
Rob

[Tumbo]

better than the reports asking the bleeding obvious "so how did that make you feel?"

"well i lost my arm and my entire family were killed; but unlike everyone else I felt loved" :rolleyes:

[mick78]

It must be hard to come up with something fresh every time someone sticks a microphone in front of your face.

My pet hate is journalists or sports people or anyone else being interviewed who never answer a question with a "yes" but answer "absolutely". Or if they are from Malbourne they answer "ebsolutely."
