For quite a while now, I have been hearing this phrase : "Bob's your Uncle." Since you've brought it up, would you please enlighten the rest of us over on the other side of the pond..those of us who don't know.. what the heck it actually means? It drives me nuts everytime I hear it. Ah ha, or maybe it should. Is that why you attached it to some gears here? A sort of "nut, bolt and gears" comment on the saying?
As to your composition, I like the colors and the positioning of your subjects. The whole presentation is a good representation of contrasts to me, with the soft colorations and the "hard" metal of the gears gently reflected..only please shed some light on this whole phrase thingy....
Signed, a poor pathetic American who hasn't a clue..lol.. :)PJ
It’s used to show how simple it is to do something: “You put the plug in here, press that switch, and Bob’s your uncle!”
As the story goes, the consensus among the irreverent in Britain was that to have Bob as your uncle was a guarantee of success, hence the expression (and a "bobby" is another name for a policeman over here)
