i is going to see my good friend Chris's (he's a jewish-yank really but doesnt like to talk about it) band play in leeds, so i get to spend the whole weekend in bradford, yorkshire.
interesting things you should know about bradford:
1. Relief of Mafeking (1900)
2. Marmite (1902)
3. Race Riots
4. My mate chris driving home, goes past burning car showroom: his car then breaks down and him and a couple of medicated dudes need to push car through riot.
5. You can get a curry for under £3, normally in the converted room of a terrace house. Menu on blackboard on wall, normally containing non- specific meat
6. The answer to the eternal question "Who ate all the pies?" can generaly be answered with "Most of the women over the age of 17 in bradford"
7. It has the 1 in 12 club
8. I were a member of 1 in 12 when i was 15: i had "mouse" on my card
9. It's where that prossie drama that was on tv a couple of years ago were set
10. Its was the home of truck driver and mis-user of the chisel peter sutcliffe

two lexical questions about british english:
1. prossie: prostitute
"i love my new purple fishnets- do you think i look a bit like a prossie?"
2. rocking riot: mosh pit
"seven people were trampled to death yesterday at a slipnot concert along with the band's lead singer, when he jumped into the mosh pit intending to crowd surf, but instead was knocked unconcious when he collided head on with some guy's bare ass, taking the guy and the six people around him to the ground."
On re-reading this, I am not sure I made it clear what my question was. What I meant to ask is if I had defined the british words correctly in american english. It was a real question, and I'd like an answer if you've goy one. Sorry for being unclear (I think I jusy got a little carried away writing that mosh pit sentence).
your first ones spot on
second way out (however i have slightly amended my appalling punctuation so might make more sense), but did make me snort my coffee outa me nose this morning when i read it
Rocking Rio's= shitty hard rock/goth nightclub in Bradford (just up the road from the prossies). Suprising to know that people travel from all over yorkshire to visit it. This is a where i also confirmed that Goths dont like it when you point and giggle at them
now, let me get this straight...you just changed jobs, and now you are on holiday? how does that work? do you get to transfer vacation? at my job you have to work for nine months before you earn one day of vacation.
