Derby (i/ˈdɑːrbi/ DAR-bi, locally /ˈdɑːrbɛ/ DAR-beh) is a city and unitary authority area in the East Midlands region of England. It lies on the banks of the River Derwent in the south of the county of Derbyshire, of which it is the county town. In the 2011 census, the city had a population of 248,700 and 1,543,000 in the wider metro area.
As home to Lombe's Mill, an early British factory, Derby is considered a birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. With the arrival of the railways in the 19th century, and because of its strategic central location, the city grew to become a centre of the British rail industry.
Today, Derby is an internationally renowned centre for advanced transport manufacturing, home to the world’s second largest aero-engine manufacturer, Rolls-Royce, and Derby Litchurch Lane Works—the UK's only remaining train manufacturer. The Toyota Manufacturing UK's automobile headquarters is south west of the city at Burnaston.
History
Origins
The Roman camp of 'Derventio' was probably at Little Chester/Chester Green (grid reference SK353375), the site of the old Roman fort. Later the town was one of the 'Five Boroughs' (fortified towns) of the Danelaw, until it was captured by Lady Aethelflaed of Mercia in July 917, subsequent to which the town was annexed into the Kingdom of Mercia.
A sports rivalry is intense competition between athletic teams or athletes. This pressure of competition is felt by players, coaches, and management, but is perhaps felt strongest by the fans. The intensity of the rivalry varies from a friendly competition on one end to serious violence on the other that, in one case (the Football War), was suggested to have led to military conflicts. Owners typically encourage rivalries as they tend to improve game attendance and television ratings for rivalry matches, but a rivalry that gets out of control can lead to fighting, hooliganism, rioting and some, with career-ending or even fatal consequences. Often the topic of sports rivalries is as heated and controversial as politics and religion.
Derby is a former United Kingdom Parliamentary constituency. It was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of England, then of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1950.

Work For You
by: DearbornOn your porch
There’s nothing better than the heat from this morning sun
Daylight creeps on
Waking up shadows
On your back… you told me
Things you swore you’d never tell
Every word your lips release
You know you turn me on
There’s so much I wanna do with you
You know you make me wanna stay
(Can I come inside with you)
There’s so much I wanna do with you
Does that work for you
Taste your lips
There’s nothing better that a kiss from the one you love
Can’t resist…
I give myself to you
I give myself to you
Tie you up
Pull out the diamonds
Pull out the snakes
Whatever you want
You know you turn me on
There’s so much I wanna do with you
You know you make me wanna stay
(Can I come inside with you)
There’s so much I wanna do with you
Does that work for you
Just get comfortable
And close your eyes
As they disappear inside your head
And you arch your back
And you start to scream
There’s so much I wanna do with you
You know you make me wanna stay
(Can I come inside with you)
There’s so much I wanna do with you
Does that work for you
