Stick with me kid and, Bob's your Uncle, everything will work out just swell.
And let me assure you, Uncle Bob is an American! (Of Irish decent.)

Just a phrase, meaning "if you follow the folling course of action, then
(Bob's your Uncle!) the reaction will be positve and all manner of things 
shall be well."

Uncle Bob gave me a shilling once, twenty-five years ago,
and darn it, I've still got it. Anyone fancy some Wrigley's Spearmint?
