More from the British movie The Football Factory. In the following dialogue, the main character, a Cockney English speaker played by actor Danny Dyer, waxes philosophical about why he enjoys being a football hooligan and would rather do nothing else on a weekend:
What else are you gonna do on a Saturday? Sit in your fuckin' armchair wankin' off to Pop Idols? Then try and avoid your wife's gaze as you struggle to come to terms with your sexless marriage? Then go and spunk your wages on kebabs, fruit machines and brasses? Fuck that for a laugh! I know what I'd rather do. Tottenham away — love it!
I'm guessing this is slang of some sort, and I'd love to understand what he means by each word.

A kebab is a type of fast food; in the UK it's often associated with post-pub eating.
A fruit machine is a gambling device; in the UK you can often find one in a pub.
"Brass" in this context puzzles me, but Wiktionary suggests (see "Translations") that it can be a slang term for a prostitute. That seems the most likely interpretation of the ones I can find.
