A bloke is just another word for a man. So in a pub, you don't meet men in a pub. You probably meet a bloke called Dave. Do you fancy another pint? Right then you get him in and I'll find us a table sorted. Next item is bloody, bloody hell. This is one of the most common swear words in English.

And we say sorted when something has been well organized.
