vysoký do pasu

As soon as the water was waist high, she stood and walked to the side near to the female showers.

With grass knee high and crops waist high, like most clubs, our Finds Table has been almost empty this summer.

Hardly any part of it stood more than waist high now, much was covered in grass or blackthorn bushes, and it could never have been more than a chapel anyway.

He went upstairs. There he would remove his jacket, his waistcoat and his tie, roll up his sleeves and wash his hands.

I was in cowboy gloves with real leather fringes, two guns in holsters buckled on and tied around the leg for fast draws, ten gallon hat and waistcoat.

A tweed jacket with a toning waistcoat for casual country elegance.

mýt si ruce (nad čím)

Before you wash your hands of the affair, find out if the lender or adviser is tied or independent.

That is the real failure of the Government's approach. They can not wash their hands of social problems and the incidence of crime.

They told their father that if he did marry her they would wash their hands of them.

zelenáč, nezkušený v práci

It’s bad enough that Timothy’s mooning over her like a schoolboy, wet behind the ears. Surely the marquis hasn’t fallen in love with her as well.

I suppose you looked at the possibility that she went - wherever she did go - not of her own free will? Marks showed his spines. Look here, boy, I wasn’t wet behind the ears then and I’m not now!

I was, to put it mildly, wet behind the ears, politically. In my first year in a London art school my two major preoccupations were whether you really could see William Turner’s late canvases as a precursor to French Impressionism.

když se (kdo) nedívá, za zády koho

Of course, you must make sure you protect the baby from a toddler who pinches or slaps or tries to tip her out of the pram when your back is turned.

He is often so busy that the less powerful males are able to disappear into a corner and copulate with his favourite females while his back is turned.

They are quite happy to question you, though, and are not averse to having a look through your personal items when your back is turned.

Pujols, Mueller win batting crowns by a nose - Albert Pujols won his first NL batting title Sunday, beating Todd Helton in the closest race in league history, and Bill Mueller edged teammate Manny Ramirez and Derek Jeter for the AL crown. (WebCorp)

Mike, who has been given a car and a house by his new employers, has yet to see his new surroundings, and it will certainly be a journey into the unknown. I 'm going there with my eyes open. It's a great adventure for me and a big challenge.

Gray said last night he was not bitter over being sacked after eight months in charge. He said: I went into the job with my eyes open. Everyone knows what happens if a manager is not successful.

Mr. Alexander walks round sniffing with his long distinguished nose in the air. And playing in the mud, kicking a ball.

Nana - we got to help Hyacinth! Martha ran after the old woman, but she did not look round. Hyacinth can get up and walk, she said, her nose in the air in a familiar pose of disdain.

He was followed by Sir Richard Springall and his household. The merchant was flushed with drink; he grinned at Cranston and Athelstan as if they were lifelong friends; Dame Ermengilde, her nose in the air, chose to ignore them.

Cliff Dyer, 32, a salesman at the factory in Swindon , said: You would have invited him into your home with open arms. He was so nice.

The attitude in Britain was all wrong. It seemed as if we had to prove we were not defrauding anybody before we could start. Abroad we were welcomed with open arms.

Why was it that even as the war was ending the Vatican was busy smuggling dozens of high - ranking Nazi mass - murderers out of Europe ? And why was it that they were received with open arms in Paraguay , Argentina and other devoutly Catholic countries? I myself asked these questions of an aged Italian cardinal. He replied: Because they were Catholics.

pracovat až do strhání těla

People like me, who’ve worked their guts out to expand the business while the militant bastards have been working their guts out to destroy it.

If you establish a business and work your guts out to make it a success while taking a low salary, you can become financially rich on untaxed dividend income.

I worked my guts out getting my Doctorate, so that I could be a member of Project Eden and be with you.

She said she’d always wanted a grown-up daughter to be real friends with. Nora Fanshawe wrinkled her nose in distaste.

Seems like the business is going well. Yeah. Alix wrinkled her nose.

And the smell! Susan wrinkled her nose.
