Terry no mates

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I just caught the end of one of the episodes of 'The Likely Lads' where Thelma and Bob are throwing a surprise party for Terry. As usual he spoils it all and is told 'it is no wonder you have no friends'.
The episode ended,and I switched channels,where Jim Belushi was part way through an episode of 'According to Jim'.
In this episode the sister-in-law is pregnant and speaking to her partner about children. In her panic about the proceedings she referred to a programme she had seen about 'a hermaphrodite child called Terry who had no friends'.
It seems if your name is Terry,you are more likely than not have to do without friendship!
