is it just my chick that doesnt understand that when it comes to beer, a couple is 5 and a few is 10? i dont know, every time i say "lets got for a couple of pints", she thinks i mean 2! i mean whats all that about? if your only going for 2 whats the point in getting ready and making the journey?? might as well stay home for just 2! do i get a prize for being a modern man then? paul...

happy with that dave, i mean when she's actually with me. i finish the second and then its, "are you having another one??" makes you feel guilty for enjoying yourself! i should put a time on it like you say though, rather than say we'll go for a couple i'll make it lets go for a couple of hours! sorted, cheers! paul...

so does the same apply if we women are only popping to the shops for a couple of things???? 2 NEXT carrier bags = 5? a few carrier bags =10? i quite like this guys, works for me Bev

fair one beverley! i can live with the equality. and perhaps while you go looking for your few bags you could kindly NOT drag me with you and leave me in a pub to enjoy my few pints! paul xx

Paul if we didn't drag you with us how would we know if ours bums looked big in it??? and there is another reason if we go alone and find 2 dresses we like one costing £30 and one costing £60, we will get the cheaper one, cos we feel guilty/cannot justify/haven't got the money but if we drag you round 10 shops in two hours making sure the most expensive dress is in the last shop, by that time you are so sick & tired YOU offer to pay for it Dave Kev/terry & you would get on well, He hasn't reached the 21st century yet either lol Bev

ahaa! beverley i knew there was a trick to it! you lot are definately the cleverer race and god luv you for it! lol! x

works for me lol! in fact it worked so well, he never complains about how much things cost, and in return i never ask him to come shopping! now if i could only suss the remote control thing, i mean what is going on there???? Bev

you dont need to suss it, all you need to know is - ITS NOT YOURS!! ha ha ha! x

oh i don't know there have been times when he has been known to put it down. bev

what when its pub time??

im sorry guys it doesnt only apply for pints, it also applies for glasses of wine, when i say im gonna go for 1 then its 3-4 if its a couple then its 6-7, and going for a few is 'come on lets get slaughtered!!!!'

so the pubs in victoria had best stock up then?!

oh yes, here i come!!!x

dearest paul did you ever learn maths at school?whats a couple to us which is two means 10 pints in pub language.you should tell us this when you enter."darlin i'm going for a couple in the pub.then she will know then!!!!xxxx(:

im with the guys on this one, a couple means how ever many i want in the amount of time i want, no point getting dressed up , going for 2 and back home???, nah, plus what a waste of money, you go home when its closing time or your bored, LOL. :-)

Hi paul try i'm going to the pub to top up, my fluid consumption, or i'm having a few pints see you when i get back. you have as many as you want, last night i had 2 southern comfots and lemonade, he had four pints, it doesn't bother me in the slightes, but then i am an ex publican!! lol sandra

paul what would your poor girlfriend do if the pubs were open 24 hours a day."going to the pub darling"you can drink ten when you and your other half go out for a few hours but double that when they will open for longer.you will be talking braille when you come out.love and hugsxxxx(:

Many years ago in the school kitchen I worked in I asked the kp too get me half a dozen eggs, she turned round and said how manys that then I replied six will do. still chuckle about it now when I ask for half a dozen or a couple

Yes, my husband uses "just one more" to mean "I'll be there till they throw me out. He also uses time in the same way. Our children groan when he replies to "how long" with "soon" . "Soon" means when you have nagged me half the week. nell

Usually it's a case of just going for the 'odd one'. Which can be anything from 1, 3, 5, 7, etc!!! Tracey
