English term
do hours
Depending on where your line up was in the routine of the club, you could do two hours, three hours, or if you went on very early in the afternoon you would find yourself doing a very early morning spot as well, so you could do four hours in a night there.
John and I were the ones who, you know, we propped the bars up and we'd talk about, you know, home and all the other bits and pieces.
Normally you'd be walking home in daylight, early hours of the morning, and you'd either go down to Seaman's Mission by the port and get your chips and egg or your steak, and then you'd go home to bed, sleep most of the afternoon.
Please, could someone explain the frase "do two hours, three hours"?
Thank you in advance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
