Dudley (i/ˈdʌdli/ DUD-lee) is a large town in the West Midlands county of England, and the administrative centre of the wider Metropolitan Borough of Dudley. At the 2001 census (according to the Office of National Statistics), the Dudley Urban Sub Area had a population of 194,919, making it the one of the largest settlements in England, the second largest town in the United Kingdom behind Reading, and the largest settlement in the UK without its own university.
Dudley is part of the West Midlands conurbation, and is located south of the city of Wolverhampton. It is the largest town in the Black Country region of England, and for many years the town (but not the castle, which was classed as part of Staffordshire) formed part of an exclave of the county of Worcestershire. Despite the more recent changes in county borders, the town still remains part of the Anglican Diocese of Worcester.
Dudley unsuccessfully bid to receive city status in 2012, losing out to Chelmsford, Perth and St. Asaph.
James Dudley (May 12, 1910 – June 1, 2004) was an American baseball player, professional wrestling manager, and professional wrestling executive. He played Negro league baseball for nine years but is best known for his time with World Wide Wrestling Federation. Dudley was the first African-American to run a major United States arena (Turner's Arena in Washington, D.C.). He worked with four generations of wrestling's McMahon family and was particularly close with Vincent J. McMahon. At age 74, he was put back on the company's payroll to show appreciation for his work for the McMahons. He also managed several wrestlers in the WWWF and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1994.
Dudley was considered an "excellent athlete" and ran the 100 yard dash in under ten seconds on multiple occasions. Although he showed up for the trials for the 1924 United States Olympic team, he was not allowed to participate because African Americans were not permitted on the team. After playing semi-professional baseball in Baltimore, Maryland, Dudley signed with the Baltimore Elite Giants at age 27. Nicknamed "Big Train", he played catcher but started out helping pitchers warm up in the bullpen. Playing alongside two other talented catchers, Roy Campanella and Eggie Clarke, Dudley's playing time was limited. He remained with the Elite Giants until leaving professional baseball in 1945. In total, he played about 60 games in the Negro leagues.
Le ciel est blanc blanc
Et d?serte l'immensit? blanche
De neige blanche.
Comme un point noir noir noir,
Seul, erre, minuscule,
Un n?gre v?tu de noir
Et qui titube
Et se lamente.
Jimmy mon ami,
D'o? es-tu, oh oh oh.
Tu es perdu, Jimmy.
Tu es perdu, salaud.
Le grand Jimmy g?mit oh oh.
La poudre blanche t'a br?l? les yeux Jimmy.
T'as peur, maintenant.
Jimmy, tu te sauveras.
Tout n'est que brouillard,
Ah mais l?-bas, tiens, tu vois,
Tu vois pr?s de toi,
Ah ah, s'approchant,
Le soleil, les palmiers,
L'oasis Takana.
Jimmy, mon ami,
Tu chantes oh oh oh.
Tu es heureux, Jimmy.
Tu es dans ton pays.
Soleil oh oh te br?le Jimmy.
Le d?lire est dans ton cerveau.
Le noir est blanc v?tu de blanc
Et la neige met sa robe blanche
Comme la balance.
Dans ce d?sert, d?sert,
Seul, perdu, minuscule,
Le n?gre tout recouvert.
Plus de murmure
Mais l'?cho chante.
Jimmy, mon ami,
O? es-tu oh oh ?
Tu t'es perdu, Jimmy.
Tu t'es perdu, salaud.
Le vent, salaud,
Le vent, oh oh,
La poudre blanche t'a ferm? les yeux, Jimmy.
Tu dors maintenant.
Jimmy, qui te sauvera ?
Tout n'est que brouillard,
Ah mais l?-bas, tiens, tu vois,
Tu vois pr?s de toi,
Ah ah, s'approchant,
Ton soleil, les palmiers,
L'oasis Takana.
Jimmy, mon ami,
Tu n'es plus ooh ooh.
Tout est fini, Jimmy.
Le monde t'a trahi.
Le monde, salaud, te laisse crever.
Tu n'as plus qu'? foutre le camp
