I can’t even see a road going left, and there’s certainly no sign of any bungee jumping, but you insist, the idea has taken you, you’re crazy about it, you’ve always wanted to do bungee jumping. I know, you think I’m boring because I don’t want to go.  ‘Go on!’ you insist. ‘We don’t even have to do the bungee jumping, we can just go there and see what’s happening.
