- It’s only a quick spin down the road – It’s about 50kms away!
- I am nearly there – I haven’t even started the car
- I’m only going for half-an-hour – I’m going to be the last to leave
- Grand – not okay at all
- I will, of course – Definitely not!
- That’s grand – it will do!
- I’ll get back to you – You won’t be hearing from me again! It will do – it’s very unsuitable

- We will have one pint – Make that five or six?
- Sure, that’s that – End of conversation
- I won’t hold you up any longer – I want to end the conversation
