Huma's record release party was last night, at a club/bar place on Ludlow street in Manhattan. I played trumpet for one of their songs, and the walls of the room were painted like a jungle. Through the window, you could see the roof of the building, on which there was a model giraffe and gorilla.

I actually drove by one earlier today way at the end of George Street near Ryders Lane. Yours maybe? ;-)

[notfromengland]

Hmm, probably not, unless it rolled really far. But who knows?

Around here dodgy characters kick em around the streets. So it could be.

I wish I had a trumpet. Better still, a bugle.

[notfromengland]

you're right; geezers need excitement.
bugles are great - all the passion of a trumpet without the fuss of valves.
p.s. - a woman from England tried to explain to my friends and I what a geezer is, and "dodgy" was the first word she used that we understood. Hence the connection.

I was going to go on about geezers being well lairy, but then I remembered you already listen to the Streets.

[notfromengland]

Yeah, good call. Plus I don't know what "lairy" means. What does "lairy" mean?

[stoneskilled]

Urban dictionary says it better than me.

LAIRY

British slang: Displaying an aggressive attitude in order to provoke a fight, argument or any verbal or physical confrontation.

"Stay away from him - he's well lairy," or "He's a right lairy git."

GIT:
Total and utter tosser who is incapable of doing anything other than annoying people, and not in a way that is funny to others. Best used idly. e.g. "Git."

"You useless git."

TOSSER:
Useless, pathetic, incapable of doing anything right

"Tony Blair is a useless tosser"

and it goes on...

[notfromengland]

What an expressive language we have!

[stoneskilled]

Indeed.
