Rob:
"Bully" was used in the US about 100 years ago, and is often associated with 
President Teddy Roosevelt. A free translation would be, "Good for you". Based 
on my recollection of the classic BBC comedy Fawlty Towers, the term may 
still be used by retired British military officers. FWIW, it is sometimes 
used as an expression of enthusiasm, but it may also be used in a sarcastic 
manner.
