"The boys and I are popping over to the pub to pick up a couple of half-litres" just doesn't sound right. They really ought to reconsider.

we don't actually think in metric, we just buy and sell in it.

Actually, in Italy at least, you drink beer in pints at the pub. Also, bottles are about the same size as bottles here, it's just that they're labled 633cl or whatever it may be. ("Me an' me mates are popping of to get a couple o' 633 centies" doesn't sound that great either, of course.)

How about we just go out for a couple of beers?

I thought I got you all educate to drinking onlies Novarian Vodka!

Not without lots of beer to cushion the blow.

*quickly consults Novarian/English phrase book. Speaks*
What say we gots plenty beers and cushions and Finest Novarieschki Vodka and I cushions mighty head on Butterfly Dream bosom? Crown optional.

Does Babel Fish translate Novarian?

Who need translate? Just spell him the way he look. Means same thing.

Uh, that isn't quite what I said. (The drink part sounds good, though.)

If a cushion is what you want, I bet someone else in here could oblige. KT? Anyone?

Come into these arms again, and lay your body down.

What's the penalty for refusing the use of you bosom as a cushion for the King? If I had a bosom, I'd be more than happy to offer my own.
