Nassau Coliseum question about concert seating? -

For my girlfriend s birthday, since she is a hugggggge Jay-Z fan, I m buying her tickets to the Jay-Z Concert. Since I work for the airlines, I fly for the freesky, and she flies discounted. SO i figure, hey rather than buy tickets to the Jay-Z concert in Atlanta, why not buy tickets to the one in Long Island, New York...I imagine it will be a much better concert since Jay-Z is from New York.Question: I waited long to buy the tickets, so the better seats are gone. They have section 228 available for $288(two tickets)---but is side stage seating, and they have section 304($226 for two tickets) which is full stage seating, but its higher up obviously.So, which one should I buy soley on the basis of view? I d appreciate anyone who has been to the Nassau Coliseum before s opinion as well.Thankkkkksseat map:http://www.upfronttickets.com/images/NassauColiseum.jpgsection 304:http://nassaucoliseum.com/seating/hockey/hockey_images/304.jpgsection 228:http://nassaucoliseum.com/seating/hockey/hockey_images/228.jpgwith section 228, i am concerned that the concert equiptment will be in the way

Moved back to so cal . . . what words are different e.g rubbish is trash ? -

rubbish = trashdustbin = trash cansea = ocean boat = duffychips = french frieswhat else!?

The one word difference that may get you into the most trouble is the word FAG . In the United Kingdom it is a slang term for a cigarette, but in the United States it is a racist slur aimed at homosexuals, and considered very insulting.

flat= apartmenthire car=rental carlift=elevatorelevator=escalatorfootball=soccer (not that anyone cares about that here... I doubt you ll find more than a couple Americans who can name a single English football team. They think Manchester United is the name of an airline flight to the UK)Many words that end in se in UK are spelled with ze here... realize, analyze, etc.I think you re missing a point here. Most Americans like the English accents. So don t worry about it, no need to be too Americanized just yet.

No one says duffy. This is the first Ive heard of the word. Lived in the US all my life.I think you call them crisps..and we call them potato chips.I got in trouble once for this one, with an English friendSpunk means to be peppy and full of energy. You know what it means there.On the car The front window ( where the wipers are) is called the windshield. You call it something else, I forget. Windscreen ?The storage place in the back of the carYou - Boot Us - Trunk

In fact many LOVE it. I personally find it amazing and refreshing from the usual American slang.My friend s neighbor is British and it s quite interesting hearing him use his slang. It s also quite funny hearing him shout, YOU BLOODY BASTARD! if his little Dachshund does something naughty! HAHA!Oh, no US resident says bloody. We prefer fu@kin freakin stupid to replace bloody.

Since you lived here before, wouldn t you be able to answer this question better than anyone else?

FAIL. You live in England, stop pretending to be American.

Where do you get a copy of birth certificates from children born at St. Annes in Chicago, IL.? -

You need to get in touch with the Cook County Clerk s Office. The main office is downtown, butthey have branch offices in some of the suburbs.

If that s in Cook County, info is at http://www.cookctyclerk.com/sub/birth_ce��Various official records (including marriage certificates, etc) are held by centralized offices, so you would need to find that. The hospital is not the place to ask.If that s not the right county, try a google search for [whatever the county is] and birth certificate .
