Brilliant! LOL! What do you do for an encore?!

"Bob's Your Uncle" is an expression which sort of means nothing really
and is a typical throw-away remark. The idea behind it is that Bob is an
extremely common name so anyone can have an uncle called Bob (so happens
I haven't) therefore the value of telling someone that they have an
uncle called Bob is zero.

So, Bob's your uncle, there you have it!

Now someone tell me what the fuck "Stone the Crows" is all about please!
