five and five 

In R/T (radio telephone) parlance, a report on signal strength (1 - 5) and quality (1 - 5).

Hence, "I ready you two and four" means "your signal is weak, but I can hear you clearly".

By inference, "five and five" means "really good" ?
"How's the pizza ?"
"Five and five."

"We dropped into <drinking establishment> - the beer was crap, but the scenery was five and five."

then I rolled a five and a two... 

An expression said to someone or about someone who is talking for far too long about a topic that no one around understands or is interested in.

If the long-winded bore hears you, her or she will probably say, "Yes, that’s exactly right," even though rolling a five and a two has nothing to do with that they are talking about.
RIMMER: Anyway, to cut a long story short I threw a five and a four which beat his three and a two, another double six followed by a double four and a double five. After he'd thrown a three and a two I threw a six and a three.

LISTER: Rimmer, can't you tell the story is not gripping me? I'm in a state of non-grippedness, I am completely smegging ungripped. Shut the smeg up.

RIMMER: Don't you want to hear the Risk story?

LISTER: That's what I've been saying for the last fifteen minutes.

RIMMER: But I thought that was because I hadn't got to the really interesting bit...

LISTER: What really interesting bit?

RIMMER: Well! Then I rolled a five and a two...

the five and dime 

The cities of the immediate East San Francisco Bay Area, familiarly known as "the East Bay," which are serviced by the 510 area code. The most notable of these are Oakland and Berkeley, CA however 510 includes every city which touches the San Francisco Bay from Berkeley in the North down to Fremont in the South and includes other inlying cities such as Castro Valley and Piedmont. Some older user of the term (35+ yrs of age) also consider the further inlying cities of Contra Costa County (area code 925) as inclusive, since prior to the 1990's 510 covered that area as well, however it predominant use today is referencing just the Alameda County cities currently serviced by 510. The area code 510 translates as: 5 = five, 10 = dime, hence the name "the five & dime."
"We hail from the five and dime."

"He's one of those bridge and tunnel folk from the five and dime." (something a San Francisco native might say)
