From BBC learning English. broadcasts. Hi Rob, nice to see you here. I love this coffee shop by the park and because

he's outside I can bring Fyder with me. Oh, oh hello Faye Faye, don't bark so loud Fido. Oh, dear, my head hurts so much.

Oh, I didn't want to say it, but you don't look well Rob I've got a hangover I went to the pub

yesterday to watch the football and you had too much to drink yes let's, I had a beer after the first goal and then two more before Finn

bought a bottle of whiskey and he told us to have just a small glass?

Or half a bottle.

After all this alcohol, there's nothing better than a good strong coffee.

Oh, there's Finn.

Hi Finn.

Hi Finn. Hi Finn. Hi Finn.

Hi Finn. Ha! Fido, good boy!

Oh, hi, Phae, I hope. Great match yesterday, eh?

I'd love a beer. Fancy one. Hair of the dog, you know? Oh, yeah, okay, go on then. The

best thing for this hangover is the hair of the dog? The hair of the dog.

Is it what you use here in Britain to cure a hangover?

It's just what we say, isn't it, Fido?

Well luckily I do have a pair of scissors in my bag.

Come on Fido, I'm just going to cut a little bit of your lovely long hair. Faye, no need to cut Vido's hair.

In English, when we say the hair of the dog, we mean a small alcoholic drink which you have to cure a hangover.
