there are 2 more dialogues.

🧔🏽‍♂️ right, that's me finished. i think i might go down the bar for a pint.
👩🏻‍🦰 i'm up for that!

to me, the phrase "that's me finished" is quite awkward. so i asked about that to CGPT, and it told me that,

"that's me finished" is grammatically correct in certain dialects of english, particularly in scottish and northern irish english. so, while "that's me finished" may be acceptable in certain dialects, it is not considered grammatically correct in standard english.

 

🧔🏽‍♂️ do you fancy going for a pint?
👩🏻‍🦰 ooh, i'd love to. what time?

the phrase "fancy going for a pint?" or "feel like going for a pint?" features a gerund "going".

so the followed answer would be "would love to" 

 

 

okay. it's 10pm. and i fancy a can of beer.
are you up for that?
