You'll all know,,,

One theory regarding the origin of the phrase "bob's yer uncle" is that it refers to Lord Frederick Roberts (1832-1914. 1st Earl Roberts, Roberts of Kandahar). Roberts was an Anglo-Irish soldier, born in India, who fought and commanded in India, Abyssinia, Afghanistan and South Africa. Roberts was one of the most successful commanders of the Victorian era and was cited for numerous acts of gallantry. His finest hour was perhaps the lifting of the siege of Kandahar in 1878 in which he marched a force of 10,000 men over three hundred miles from Kabul, winning a battle and successfully lifting the siege. Well respected amongst his men, Roberts was affectionately referred to as 'Uncle Bobs'. Generally meaning 'all will be well', and often used to indicate a successful outcome, the phrase "Bob's your uncle" was a term originally used by Roberts's men to boost confidence among the ranks and imply that all would be well under his command.

Sad to ponder on Afghanistan wars: Roberts was active in the Second Anglo-Afghanistan war: The 1st A-A war, 1838-1842, resulted in the Afghan's massacaring almost all of a column of 4,500 troops of the British Empire & 12,000 civilians: Only one survived, allowed back to India by the Afghans so the British understood what happened..

Then the Soviet Empire also lost to the Afghans, ignominiously retreating after years of losses... (1979-1989)

Our hearts bleed for the poor s*ds, of all sides, getting killed & maimed - for what ?? (Pause for flames..)

Cheers!

It is a nice wallpaper I'm running the actual ROM. :D

I don't see why it needs root access though.
