Howard the Halifax man is nothing to do with Birmingham, I suspect he's more of a Dudley boy.

Gosh that so clashes with my cliche idea of England - pubs and football and all that punk stuff.

it's an honest to goodness turn of the century living museum K! it oozes Victorion pomp and grime, you can change your money into shillings and thruppeny bits, there are olde style houses and people in costumes and a fair to go on, and the narrow boats under the tunnell where you have to push it along yourself using your legs and the tunnel walls and olde sweet shops, there's trams and big ole horses, it's ten kinds of cool.

That sounds intriguing. Would your feelings be hurt if I asked to go to a pub instead, and maybe see some skinny guys with guitars or, I dunno, football hooligans, isn't that what you guys call them? Can I have punk instead of Victoriana? I wouldn't fit in with the olde village people, what with my combat boots and too much eyeliner.

reminds me of Bill Hicks 
"So I'm over there in England, you know, trying to get news about the riots... and all these Brit people are trying to sympathize with me... 'Oh Bill, crime is horrible. Bill, if it's any conselation crime is horrible here, too.' ...Shutup. This is Hobbitown and I am Bilbo Hicks, Okay? This is a land of fairies and elves. You do not have crime like we have crime, but I appreciate you trying to be you know, Diplomatic. You gotta see English crime. It's hilarious, you don't know if you're reading the front page or the comic section over there. I swear to God. I read an article front page of the paper one day, in England, 'Yesterday, some Hooligans knocked over a dustbin in Shafsbry.' ...Wooooo. 'The hooligans are loose! The hooligans are loose! ...What if they become roughians? I would hate to be a dustbin in Shafsbry tonight. (to the tune of "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who) No one knows what it's like... to be a dustbin... in Shafsbry... with hooligans...' What the HELL are you talkin' about? Hooligans? Roughians? Speak English! It's Crypt, Blood. I mean, I'm sure it's a serious thing, Hooligans, but it just sounds stupid, doesn't it? I picture a bunch of pale guys with pennyloafers and no socks. (to a tune) 'We're the hooligans!' (Sound of knocking dustbin over) 'Come here, you fuckers, come here.' 'Nope! Got-to catch us! If you corner me I might become a scalliwag!' ...It doesn't sound scary at all, does it? They have proper crime there. I'd love to put the hooligans up against the Bloods in LA... that would be a short gang battle. (To a tune, again) 'We're the hooligans!' (sound of dustbin knocking over)-- (boom boom boom *gunshots*). '...huh? Hoola-somethin', I didn't catch it all. Mothafucka danced up to me and patted me on the head. Pale mothafucka, look at that thing.' It wouldn't be a long gang battle. I'm bettin' on the Bloods."

There is that thing isn't there where if you say 'Kipper Tie' then you sound like a brummie asking someone if they want a cup of tea.
At least Brummies don't refer to people as 'duck.' I remember nearly chinning a guy in a news agency in Nottingham. When he handed me back my change he said 'Thanks Duck.' I was young, a student at the Uni and had a temper at the time. I actually asked the guy if he was taking the piss... and then felt well embarrased when he told me that it was just a term that Nottingham folk use. I felt like a right prick!

Ha! I love Bill Hicks! I still mourn the loss. You know he's so much more popular in the UK than he is here in the states. |

My guess would be that people hate New Jersey because they listen too much to the New Yorkers. The ironic thing about that is that no one seems to like New Yorkers either, so why they're listening to their opinion of Jersey is beyond me.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |
