I owe you a couple of very good corrections and a couple / pair of drinks next time you came to Madrid.
Cheers!
Yes, I meant what you thought!

Ten cuidado con la palabra pair. Pair esclusivamente refiere a cosas que van juntas como zapatos, pantalones, gemelos, etc. Usas couple correctamente. Couple tiene varios significados. En la forma de adjective couple significa dos o algunos. En la forma de nombre, significa una pareja y nunca un par.

  • Referirse a algo o a alguien: mencionar, señalar, querer decir... to mean, to refer, to relate, to report...
  • Referir una historia o un suceso: contar, narrar, etc.
