The hotel is bad.

The gloves are off!

to be on the square

to the same effect

The bigger the children, the bigger the worries

The favor of an early answer is requested.

The dividend has been declared

The elephant is afraid of the mouse.

The Nile is the longest river in the world at 6650 kilometres.

The stakes are high

to be in the driver’s seat

up to the present

The disco doesn't close until five in the morning.

The tail wags the dog

The fish has a salty tang

The good old days are gone

The paper was rejected on account of its length

The agreement has significant ramifications for German politics

At the end of each quarter the intermediary will forward to the authority a statement of the payments made

the very thought

If the worst comes to the worst

The going is though

to be on the stand

in the afternoon
