British phrases

I love "Bob's your uncle". I picked that up about 15 years ago on a BBS that had a messaging system with other BBSs around the world. Then, just today I ran across "horses for courses".

Neither of these phrases is very common in the US, but they seem just the thing to use in the right context. We've got a number of folks from across the pond, here. What other Britishisms should I know about?
