        <description><![CDATA[<p>True to form Matt's not worried by the death implication of si.Not worried by meat cleavers either.Does nothing phase the man? I think he's showing promise of displaying in this series that same intrepid Aussie spirit as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM7eNxb80M8">this guy</a>,who I saw in a documentary yesterday soldier on despite getting a full electric shock from an eel and was repeatedly pecked by large birds.Hilarious.This i am looking for in Matt.</p>
<p>Do they say "Sam's your uncle" then in the US?</p>
<p>So 3 lessons on a Tuesday? Can't wait for the new video series,but I would suggest spreading the lessons a little,though am I right in thinking this is starting out as once every 2 or 4 weeks? No big deal about 3 on one day though,the important thing is we're lucky enough to get an exciting looking new series.</p>
<p>Bring on Lao Wang.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>@bababardwan Whilst I'm totally pumped by your enthusiasm and Aussie solidarity, I certainly couldn't put myself in the same league as <span class="description">David Ireland. The menu Stealer on the other hand...</span></p>
<p><span class="description">He would eat Mr David 'Wildlife Man' Ireland for brekkie and ask for seconds! </span></p>
<p><span class="description">:D</span></p>
<p>The Menu Stealer Season 1 will be released once every 2 weeks. As for the number of lessons published on the one day, you bring up an interesting point, one I'll consider further.&nbsp; Thanks mate.</p>

<p>"and Bob's your uncle"</p>
<p>is a phrase that I find in my English-German online dictionary (British colloquial,&nbsp; http://dict.leo.org/ende?lang=de&amp;lp=ende&amp;search=Bob%27s%20your%20uncle).</p>
<p>What is the difference if it's "Sam" i.o. "Bob"? ...I know this is a question better suited for EnglishPod...</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Cornelia,</p>
<p>yea, we dont use the phrase in the US. baba's reference to sam refers to this fact and the fact that we call the American govt "Uncle Sam". Army posters used to say "Uncle Sam wants you".&nbsp; I hope that answers your question.</p>]]></description>
