"Bobs your Uncle"
That always confused me because I have an Uncle Bob but didnt know why everyone else new.

Another one was Bob's your aunty's husband. And I too have an Uncle Bob, the old mans twin brother.

I remember when I was little and my uncle got REALLY mad he'd rub his head and mutter "oh my beads & tweeds" over and over again ... to this day I'm still like WTF!?!

Yet he's the first to say the "other" naughty words in general conversation LOL

I remember when I was a boy:

My Mum would have the radio on in the morning usually around 8 O'clock.
Birthdates would be announced. If you were 18 and your date came up, you were conscripted for National Service.
Chances were that you may end up in the war in Vietnam.

RIP to those who lost their lives. not forgotten

On a lighter note:
I remember most nights the tv news would report on the war.
They would talk about Guerrilla Warfare in the jungle, and the Vietcong.

Now being that I was probably about 7 or 8 years of age, I had this mental picture of real Gorrillas running through the jungle carrying machine guns and attacking us humans.

I don't remember these hand post drills but I have to take my hat off to the older metal workers. I clamped a piece of 8mm steel with a 10mm hole
in it my intention was to quickly drill it out to 12mm. OMG This drill even has auto fed, you'll need shoulders like basketballs to work this tool.
after 10 min all I did was counter sink the hole, they were right men were men back then, will use it though as have the anvil, furnace ,etc.
Plus I have an even older one but missing a few bits, we're only talking 1920ish . Take my hat off to all of them
