Cet accord, parrainé par les Premiers ministres britannique et irlandais, et finalement approuvé par le Sinn Féin et par la plupart des partis unionistes, a mis en place la "Northern Ireland Assembly", un parlement quasi autonome avec un partage démocratique du pouvoir entre les communautés protestante et catholique. Cet accord est une étape vers la fin de trente ans de guerre civile en Ulster.ⓘ You've never had it so good Ce slogan a été utilisé pour la première fois aux États-Unis en 1952 par les Démocrates. Il signifie "vous êtes aujourd'hui plus prospères que jamais". En Grande-Bretagne, ce slogan est associé au Premier ministre conservateur Harold Macmillan qui l'utilisa dans un discours en 1957. Aujourd'hui, on utilise cette formule sur le mode ironique lorsqu'une situation n'encourage pas du tout à l'optimisme. -

ПО МНЕ1 highly coll PrepP Invar sent adv (parenth)) from my point of viewif you ask meto me as far as I'm concerned the way I see it (in limited contexts) for all I care.Осетины шумно обступили меня и требовали на водку но штабс-капитан так грозно на них прикрикнул, что они вмиг разбежались. «Ведь этакой народ, - сказал он: - и хлеба по-русски назвать не умеет, а выучил: „офицер, дай на водку!" Уж татары, по мне, лучше: те хоть непьющие...» (Лермонтов 1). The Ossetians vociferously besieged me, demanding money for vodka, but the captain shouted at them so fiercely that they dispersed in a moment. "You see what they are like!" he grumbled. "They don't know enough Russian to ask for a piece of bread, but they've learned to beg for tips: 'Officer, give me money for vodka!' To me the Tatars are better-they're tee-totalers at least..." (1b).«По мне, хоть вы все живите в пятикомнатных квартирах» (Войнович 3). "As far as I'm concerned, you can all live in five-room apartments" (3a)....По мне, его кобыла и с матерью - да будь они прокляты! - а я жеребца не дам обскакать!»(Шолохов 2). ".. His mare and its mother can go to bloody hell for all I care, but I won't let him beat the stallion!" (2a). -
