Loads.

Quite a lot of it comes from Cockney rhyming slang (or Monty Python)

Bring 'em up!

It's like beating a dead cow, it's fun, but it doens't really get you anywhere.

Maaaaaaaaaaaate...........
To put the phrase 'Bob's your uncle' in context, in my part of the planet (south eastern Australia), it is used as a euphimism for'it will be ok' or 'it will work'. It has the same meaning as 'she'll be right'.
'Job's done' is pretty close too.
'No wuckers' is a common one as well around here. A contraction of 'no wucking furries', witch is aussie rhyming slang for 'no worries'. mate.

one of my favorite Southern expressions is one that allows the speaker to objectively criticize the most painfully obvious and embarrassing characteristic of another person out loud and in public without incurring any negative karma on him or herself - or without falling into the trap of being merely mean-spirited or spiteful, and it is this:

"...bless his heart."  just fire away at someone and as long as you tack this phrase on the end you are above any criticism or reprisal. this is a favorite of my grandmother, and what a cranky old boozer she is, bless her heart...

My pommie favorite is "Gordon Bennett", who drew crazy pictures, but another Gordon Bennett was a motorcycle racer in the U.K. I think??...I think the Cockney rhyming slang thing is Gordon equls God In (heaven) so instead of saying God In Heaven out of exasperation the Cockney says..Gordon Bennett...Correct me if I'm wrong, please...TC

Don't know where this came from, but I've heard it said of someone who's had too much to drink:

"He's so drunk he couldn't find his butt with both hands and a flashlight."
