Only one point stands irrespective of the period taken: Japan has shown all the other rich countries a clean pair of heels. Since 1950 America and Britain have been the slowest.

I won both the 60 and 200 metres, but it was in the final event, the relay, that I received my greatest fillip. Over the first three legs the French had shown us a clean pair of heels, especially with superior baton-passing. When I took over, Bruno Marie-Rose, the indoor world-record holder, was already away.

Magnificent though Rasari was, you were left wondering just how much they needed him when newcomer Ratu Sakeasi showed Tim Horan and Jason Little a clean pair of heels in a 60-metre chase for the line.

As Mr Patterson, 22, pointed out his attackers to police Sharpe took to his heels. Sharpe was only about 15 yards away when I moved towards him and he started running,

One of the most arduous of these was in my junior days when I picked up a seaman in the docks attempting to sell cigarettes to a factory worker. He immediately took to his heels with is case of cigarettes and led me a merry dance away from the docks, through a council estate, finally finishing up on the perimeter track of Ipswich Airport where I was rescued.

Can brainpower bolster Berlin’s economy? Kewenig has persuaded the state of Berlin to give him DM 11 million (nearly £3 million) to establish some centres of excellence, and attract more first class researchers.

But with economies in the whole region growing so rapidly, skilled labour is at a premium and countries are doing all they can to hang on to their brainpower.

It is helped, it acknowledges, not only by research and development grants from the Israeli government, but also the current influx of brainpower from the former Soviet Union .

Truman played for time by appointing a brains trust of three to advise him.

One summer I was invited to chair a Brains Trust at the Scottish Lawyers’ annual conference at Aviemore

dar řeči, dar výřečnosti

You may need help over self-discipline, praying for others, using the gift of tongues, suitable reading, dryness, finding your praying is very different from others in your house group.

In the front room she started to hold prayer meetings that were almost like seances. Presently she found that she had the gift of tongues: notions of sacrifice and immolation and of a saviour with hair of sackcloth poured out of her mouth like a river of lava.

There is no doubt among those who have been given the gift of tongues that their prayer life and their ability to praise God in all circumstances has grown dramatically.

But there were times when he had to hold his tongue, if only to ensure that he could keep on using this fool for his own ends. It amused him to see how the gullible idiot deferred to him, even when they were in the midst of a vicious argument.

Once some Mohammedans were at my house, consulting me about their complaints when night came on. In the middle of our talk I began to speak as if to some demon, telling him to hold his tongue and not interrupt my talk, and let me serve these gentlemen for it was already late.

I’ve been permitted to speak at any meeting dealing with this application. The DOE has authorized me to do so, but not to vote. I need hardly say I have found it difficult to hold my tongue on so important a matter over the last eighteen months.

ironicky, poťouchle

The plot is more than faintly ludicrous but the music is Rossini at his most inspired - even when one suspects that he is writing with tongue in cheek.

In fact they did not speak French either, they spoke a sort of fractured German. But this was a great feeling of what we had been used to over the years in watching American movies and, with our tongue in cheek and a bit of a giggle, seeing the adventures of the cavalry arriving.

This way you don’t have to worry about ACUs, licences and doctors’ certificates. It’s tongue in cheek, we don’t take ourselves too seriously yet.

A local woman, Mary Anning, made a living selling fossils from these rocks to collectors, and was immortalized in the tongue-twister She sells sea-shells on the seashore.

Nevertheless, that Kensington Stone is a fake as old and crooked as a left - handed corkscrew with knobs on. Trapped by a tongue twister Caitlin Moran... or why the St Etienne lads may become Spud for a spell while Sarah goes solo.

Pausing only for a brief tongue-twister - she did that very well, Karen, where your tongues circle each other tantalizingly, barely touching - we gave chase along the footpath which runs through the meadows bordering the river.

postarší, už ne nejmladší

The consolation factor if you do end up with something distinctly long in the tooth is that it should give you the gratification of feeling that you have aged rather better yourself.

The country is still run by the old boy network. Most of the old boys are now Conservative placemen, long in the tooth and addled in the brain.

Madame Clicquot is a little long in the tooth now she took over the business when her husband died in 1805 but she still attends all the best events.

podříznout komu krk

How would you feel about imprisonment? I’d rather cut my throat than go into an institution.

And in sickness, say - and wounded, as he was - how if a prisoner hampered their movements too much? They might be forced to discard him - and a stray company working at large would not scruple to cut his throat, though Owen would.

The moneylenders then looked to Sim for the cash and threatened him and his family. On one occasion heavies approached him in the street and cut his throat, near to the jugular vein.

držet koho za krk

Ain’t we going to wait for him? What do you think? Todger practically had him by the throat.

I knew he was all right, he were screaming but I couldn’t - they were both screaming, Cathy and Gary both, and he got me by the throat. He was shaking me calling me a slut and a whore and saying they weren’t his kids - everything, I don’t know, I couldn’t breathe.

He said the English fielders began to chat to him in the last session and he knew then he had us by the throat. I can’t abide that and I have set out to make us more aggressive, but I have not entirely succeeded because we are still not being hard enough on the field.

She’ll be scrawny and down at heel, I bet. A poor relation.

He said he’d noticed that our Mini was getting a bit down at heel, and in the light of Ken’s injuries he thought the least he could do was to give me a better means of transport.

There was an oily cap on the top shelf of the wardrobe and a pair of much worn and down at heel working boots under the bed.

přešlapovat, nečinně a netrpělivě čekat

On the one hand I suspected a trap, but on the other the man was patently honest. I sat in the pie shop kicking my heels and pondering the problem.

And while Clough misses out again, it is understood that Blanc has a contract that will take him to French drama club Marseille in the summer. Clough has been left kicking his heels in his search to replace England defender Des Walker, who left on a £1.5 million cut-price deal to Italian giants Sampdoria in the summer.

While he had been kicking his heels yesterday he had spent an hour in a tiny bookshop in Curzon Street and had come away with a paperback edition of the Parsons Rosenberg and the Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes’s anthology.

být komu v patách

She heard him running down the stairs, problems at his heels. Not asleep. Just having a think.

He watched the last of the brothers slip away still awed and silent through the cloister, and followed with a glance the swirl of Robert Bossu’s crimson skirts as he crossed the court with his two attendants at his heels.

Mr. Henry Hawkes, a farmer residing at Hailing, in Kent, was late one evening at Maidstone market. On returning at night, with his dog, who was usually at his heels, he again stopped at Aylesford, and as is too frequently the case upon such occasions, he drank immoderately, and left the place in a state of intoxication.

In the end, all the Arab states dug their heels in and demanded refugee repatriation as an essential element to peace, thereby joining Israel in linking the refugee issue to an overall peace.
