mít cit pro co

I hope you never take it into your head to commit a murder, sir, said the Inspector. You do seem to have an eye for essentials. And how much of this horticultural poison does it take to kill a human being? asked Henry, ignoring this last. Not a lot, said the inspector quietly.

On the other hand, Stanley Morison, responsible for the typographical identity of The Times in the 1930s, was not an adroit penman - he simply had an unerring eye for good typefaces and strong composition.

Balcon was the sort of producer the British film industry had needed for a long time. He had the eye for detail and concern for quality lacking in Stoll or Samuelson, as well as the sort of business acumen that neither Hepworth nor Pearson had ever displayed.

být dobrý zahradník

He had more or less green fingers, my grandfather. He could grow anything.

Often this type of environment is ideal for a person with green fingers who enjoys growing exotic, subtropical flowering plants.

mít plné ruce práce

My mother had her hands full with housework and caring for four elderly people.

Especially when you’ve already got your hands full running this tidy little ship.

They hardly exchanged a word. Ivy had her hands full with the driving. (BNC-B)

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.

mít v hlavě co

There are readers whom, as Zuckerman is the first (or second) to acknowledge, he can drive to the complaint that he has sex, and family matters, and Jewish matters, on the brain: I want him to take his manuscript and mail it to his mother, as I have heard them cry.

You've got marriage on the brain tonight, darling. Must be this wedding you're going to tomorrow. What time do you want the car?

The latter sounds like a logical slot the top players are all in Europe , there is no major tournament to prepare for immediately after and the watching public in Britain has tennis on the brain.

dát na slova koho

As noted above, Pan American Airways and its chairman, Juan Trippe, had the ear of Congress and president Roosevelt, and fed fears of British dominance in the air.

What and who was behind the new Ali, the wily Washington lobbyist who had the ear of everyone from Strom Thurmond to Orrin Hatch? The wife of Senator Arlen Specter even baked Ali a double chocolate-mousse pie.

It was little things which often had a quite disproportionate impact upon burgh councillors, for such a move would give tangible proof that the party which could arrange it had the ear of government and could thus effect other, and perhaps more far-reaching, changes.

být přístupný jiným názorům

In this respect the press are often one step ahead of the police in making explicit some possible connections: Although police are keeping an open mind, it seems likely the anonymous phone caller and the darkly-clothed assailant are the same man.

Police have recovered a hammer at one of the murder scenes. They're keeping an open mind on why the women were killed.

Det Supt Ron Coutts, depute head of Grampian CID, is leading the investigation. He said police were keeping an open mind as to who was responsible.

pečlivě dohlédnout

Keep your lines straight and taut and your dogs will go faster. Keep one eye on them at all times to avoid problems.

One of the few senior front-benchers with experience of government, he has been keeping one eye on the national campaign, chairing almost all the party 's London campaign press conferences, and another on his marginal Copeland constituency, traveling by hired plane to Cumbria every weekend.

There were a hundred questions still to be asked and answered, but at this speed and in this noise speech was impossible. I hung on, keeping one eye on Neil in case I could help him, and the other on Stormy Petrel.

zlaté srdce

Kitty’s friend, Georgie , a cockney tart with a heart of gold.

She was well known in Aspull and it had been said she had a heart of gold.

He may be an old moaner, but he’s got a heart of gold.

Old Laz is a pretentious son of a gun, but he’s got a heart of gold. (BNC-B)

svévolný/ ě, panovačný/ ě

When one political interest was dominant in a county, the politician could attempt to carry matters with a high hand, as Colonel John Campbell of Mamore did in 1727, when a dispute arose over the collectorship of Dunbartonshire.

Furthermore the law provides no sacrifice for sin with a high hand, i.e. wilful and deliberate sin.

The subjects vowed eternal fealty to the White Tsar, to be loyal and to pay dues on time. In return the monarch undertook to protect those who had come under his high hand. Ostyaks (Khantys) swore in front of a bearskin on which were laid an axe, a knife and some bread.

uhodit hřebíček na hlavičku, strefit se

A less than shattering experience simply won’t pass muster in this of all Shostakovich symphonies. In an unusually perceptive liner note, Robert Layton hits the nail on the head when he says ` It is the exercise of true symphonic discipline that removes the Tenth from the private world to the universal. Quite so.

Moving on, and if I may say so, you have hit the nail on the head with your reference to the registration and its rarely stated function to boost the circulation of the LTA’s own magazine.

I’ve been having some quite intelligent guesses but no one’s hit the nail on the head. This is the number of the site. Because each site has a number and could you have a guess at how many excavations? Yes? More than seven.

mlčet, být zticha, držet jazyk za zuby

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.

vést komu ruku, držet koho za ruku, stát po boku komu

A girl of seventeen should be able to go to the doctor’s without someone to hold her hand.

When she’s crying with pain for something like a migraine headache, I just sit in the dark with her and hold her hand.

However, he continued to hold her hand on the walk back to the main track, where he again drew her close to his side while taking her arm.
