ustoupit do pozadí, hrát druhé housle

Party members and SA men, who in 1933 had seen themselves as posing a radical, populist alternative to the conservative Reichswehr, now took a back seat and simply provided the setting for the triumphant reception of young officers of the Wehrmacht, heroes home on leave from the Front recounting tales of stirring deeds which had earned them the Ritterkreuz.

Until this improves, it's likely that Russia will take a back seat for Western investment. Instead, countries such as the Czech Republic , Slovakia , Hungary and Poland , where conditions are more conducive to good business strategies, are likely to scoop up the funds.

Once again, community care was to take a back seat while the hospital services received the main attention. There are a few District Health Authorities who are already grasping the nettle and beginning to work closely with their local authority colleagues.

Cambridge can take heart from Goldie’s substantial victory over Isis .

But we can take heart from the fact that, apart from Germany , Britain enjoys the greatest choice and variety of beers in Europe .

My lord, I shall endeavour to take heart from your assurances in regard to Lord Hastings - I derive much comfort from your undertaking in respect of this my younger son.

Their sense of tradition is also very strong and instead of dying out in 1951 when enthusiasm was beginning to wane a little, it was revitalised when Stanley Robshaw took it in hand and set it firmly on its feet again. He had always been involved to some extent.

I conceive many People would be happy with an Art of this kind or at least it would be useful to those who die abroad and are brought back home: I often used to talk of embalming but never seriously took it in hand till the year before last, which to this time is well preserved.

The local policeman took it in hand, and nobody grumbled, if he gave them a good clout.

But don't take it to heart if I don't follow your advice.

Diana took the criticism to heart, avidly read what was being said about her and became depressed and despondent.

So it is also the diet to choose if you have sensibly taken to heart the well-established benefits of reducing fat intake.

Taking precipitously to his heels and hurriedly joining the Coldstream Guards, he eventually settled in East Anglia , where he married and where his literary son George was born in 1803.

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.

spadnout kámen ze srdce komu

I will of course let my client know that Mr. Makaroupides takes full responsibility for this and that will take a weight off his mind.

And Clarke admitted: It's a weight off my mind. I've been waiting for four or five games, so it's a bit of a relief.

You said nothing to offend me, Mr. Cunningham. You mean it? That's a load off my mind, believe me.

Mr. Takeshita flew to Washington for a heart-to-heart chat with President Bush. Each man must struggle to convince the party and the public that he is the right choice to guide Japan in the coming years.

When we lost 5-0 at Liverpool a couple of weeks ago we all got together and had a heart‑to-heart. We sorted a few things out then and now we have turned the corner.

Perhaps, now that Alison was at least going to become an adoptive mother she would be able to have a long heart-to-heart with her on the subject; although Celia knew that she would be reluctant, even ashamed, to reveal her innermost feelings.

rvát si vlasy

The latest development is a drug called clomipramine which has the endearing quality of reducing the desire to pull your hair out when under stress.

A Tory friend of mine who has been trying to write nice things about the Conservative campaign has been tearing his hair out in desperation, not just because they are doing so badly - but because they deserve to.

Look at him, lord of all he surveys, calm, controlled, in total command of himself. Anyone else would be tearing his hair out, confronted by a pack of jabbering foreigners, but does Feargal?

Well, not really, Frank. Miss Whiplash was in fact dressed up in thigh boots and a tightly-laced bodysuit while seeing to the likes of you in her torture chamber.

You had to buy your own stuff, I bought a pair of thigh boots and they were all made with leather and he and I used to put neat's-foot oil on them and I could roll them down just like a b just like a boot.

Fashion was madly exciting: grannies happily wore miniskirts and platform thigh boots, while young girls wore button-up granny boots and Victorian-style, flower-printed dresses.

His actions are never excessive, he can sleep with a good conscience, he has purpose and never throws in his hand in adversity.

The only point the press reports missed was that Jim Prior was so unhappy that he almost threw in his hand and resigned.

His father died and he threw in his hand to set up as a GP in Falmouth . Any idea of the reason? A quirk of temperament apparently. Didn’t like hospital work - couldn’t stand colleagues - any colleagues; he’s a loner.

do sytosti, podle libosti

Windsor and I think Jack will go with the players who have done the job for him before, and once this trial is over and we have qualified he will experiment and experiment and experiment to his hearts content.

Now it was an established custom that we very often used to go out to a strip in the desert away from the camp where we could indulge in circuits and landings to our hearts content without being related to the hour by hour flying that went on at the Base camp.

Yes, I just want to have a look at, yes you can crawl under there to your hearts content! You can unplug that for the moment. I'm not really worried about it.

The English boy pointed to my face, unable to control his mirth. I must have looked like the mad ape that wandered the streets of our village with its gypsy owner. Their laughter so infuriated me that I began to have thoughts of revenge.

Kevin Brown took a private call in the embassy from one of his men. We may have hit paydirt, Chief, said the agent tersely. No more on an open line, boy. Get your ass in here fast. Tell me to my face.

I still get the comments. The only difference is that, now I’m somebody, they don’t say it to my face. But because they don’t say it to my face, it doesn’t mean to say I don’t still get them: now they say things behind my back.

Taylor was down to the bare bones today when only 14 of his England squad took part in his first Bisham training session.

Let Me In, the song for Cobain, is stripped down to the bare bones of voice and abrasive guitar, chilling and unsettling in its raw intensity.

Silhouettes are crisp and clean - cut and fabrics are plush, yet it is the determined way in which designers have stripped down the look to the bare bones which makes it appear quite so elementary. (BNC-B)

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.

While some people become tongue-tied others cannot stop talking.

The schoolteacher realized that his guests were tongue-tied in this strange place and, after a few openings had brought no more than murmurs.

Writing or speaking tasks which do not clearly specify the receiver make even native-speaking students tongue-tied, and not surprisingly, for we simply do not talk or write into vacuums. (BNC-B)

At the Royal Ballet, whose dressing rooms they will be using, mention of the Russians touches a raw nerve. It’s difficult for us to understand why everybody wants to talk about the Russians all the time, says ballerina Fiona Chadwick. Ballet isn’t only Russian.

Rhee issued a press statement raising publicly whether South Korea could rely on American assistance in the event of North Korean aggression. This touched a raw nerve and Muccio was instructed immediately to see Rhee and protest at this grave breach of ordinary diplomatic courtesy.

It’s none of your damned business! she snapped half-heartedly, yet his words struck a raw nerve and she almost winced in pain, because Ryan had only been ardent at first; after that, it had been she who had made the advances.

John had dreams of being a writer and had tried his hand at poetry, including an epic poem on the Battle of Largs.

Vincent went to him for drawing in the mornings, and in the evenings to try his hand at watercolours, as he had done before Christmas.

přivřít oči nad čím

Governments turn a blind eye to the thousands of poverty-stricken families that migrate to the forest every year.

Both his parents indulged him, particularly his mother. Whereas Nicolae preferred to turn a blind eye to his son's misdemeanors, which were so unlike his own abstemious and dedicated youth.

Gentleman is that he has been searching for a way to do nothing about this problem. He would prefer to turn a blind eye to the problem of asylum seekers around the world.

nevyslyšet, ignorovat co

On these occasions the Chairman is wise to turn a deaf ear to the interruption.

At the end, between lengthy visits to Walter Reed Hospital in Washington and crippled with arthritis as a result of a youthful bicycle accident, he turned a deaf ear to opposition calls to resign after losing his majority.

The owners turned a deaf ear to such an expensive demand.

I can assure you that there are very great people at the bottom of the riot. Next day, when the mob was destroying the Catholic chapel in Moorfields, he apparently turned a deaf ear to requests for orders from the soldiers and the fire officers in attendance; and when the rioters’ work was done he uttered the mildest of rebukes.

upoutat velkou pozornost

MacMillan does concede that the alienation of working class people from classical music is one that concerns him. He knows he is more likely to turn heads in Covent Garden than he is popping out for the papers in Jordanhill.

These days, we pamper promising young sportsmen with premature praise, often with the best of intentions, and discover that an unearned reputation can be no less fatal. It can turn heads and destroy careers.

If a dress turned heads in the 1960s, it will still turn heads today.

The models too have a better attitude. They don't turn their nose up at a job for a lesser mag if their last assignment was for Elle or something.

I think we must twist his arm to see if he can repeat the trick in the longer time available in one of our winter talks.

Was it perhaps partly that Mr Mandela, did she get the feeling, was pulling strings, leading the government along? Nelson Mandela is twisting them around his little finger.

Spencer had been spoiled, treated for far too long as a baby and he had grown up knowing how to twist his mother around his little finger.

This situation would be one humdinger of a funny story to tell his city friends over a drink or two - and perhaps to boast to Corosini that he’d wrapped her around his little finger with a few husky phrases and a glimpse of his superlative body.

víc hlav víc ví

The basic assumption is that “two heads are better than one” and that together, in groups, innovative solutions can be found.

The use of experts should become part of the organisational culture - with emphasis on the building of expert teams if possible, (i.e. two heads are better than one).

This dual approach often works, proving that two heads are better than one. Likewise, one's workmate can take awkward calls, e.g. My colleague is not in today, I’m afraid. (BNC-B)

rázný, robustní

My back, my great white back was scored with thirty or forty sharp red welts, regularly patterned as if I’d slept on a bed of nails. Taking a two-fisted grip on my spare tyre, I was able to wrench round some flesh and get a good look at one of these bloodless wounds.

Barnes, moving wide to the left, at last got over a telling cross but Ferdinand completely missed the ball in front of goal. Carlton Palmer drove forward to bring a two-fisted save from Benedettini and the goal-keeper followed up with another save from a Ferdinand header.

Then, quite unexpectedly, he took a clubbing right hand to the head and lost complete co-ordination. He did not react but lay back grasping the top rope. Jones mounted a quick two-fisted assault and the title changed hands in those brief, dramatic seconds. Laing was at pains to stress that at no time did he feel under pressure.
