re Bob's your uncle.. (and coming from the english speaking - not american - part of the world i grew up with this statement)  I found this interesting and it seems valid. 

"Bob's your uncle" means that everything is taken care of for you—you're all set, you've got it made. The expression apparently dates back to 1887 when the original "Uncle Bob"—British Prime Minister Lord Salisbury—made his nephew (Arthur Balfour) Irish Secretary in a move that reeked of nepotism.
