The PA Happy Birthday Thread

On 16 October 2011, Orianoskin joined our happy gathering, and stayed with us for all of two months without troubling the admin censors hereabouts or even attempting to send us a Latin verse. The chappy who registered celebrates his 34th birthday today, and hails from Catasauqua in Pennsylvania. Let us first consider this wonderfully named metropolis, in true PABT fashion. It is known locally as Catty, so plenty of pussy no doubt to be found in town. It’s mayor is the altogether wonderful Barbara A. Schlegel who is responsible for keeping the good citizens safe and well. On its website, I really would heartily recommend that you take a wee gander at The Iron Works, which thankfully is not a smelting plant thingy, but a wonderful shopping and dining destination, or at least will be when it is complete. Catasauqua – Welcome to the Borough of Catasauqua

Our dear departed brother did not, in fact, come here to wax lyrical about whether Rush are prog, and not even to annoy Ivan, regrettably. Nope, he is simply the latest in a long and proud line of capitalists attempting to flog the prog masses his wares, but what a service he purports to provide. For his homepage is a link to The British Food Depot where you can order all your favorite English and British foods online right here in the USA! Yes, be still your beating hearts! Ditch the Bog Mac! Don’t transition to The Burger Queen! On this site, you can buy Oxo cubes! Oh yes, that crucial component of all stock right over there in Brave Land. Here it is British Food Depot - Shop For British Foods In The USA And don’t just take it from them, oh no, because  250,000+ Orders, 35,000+ Reviewers and 170,000+ Customers Can't Be Wrong!

Well, just how true is this bold statement? Well, before you rush out to order your Walkers Crisps (go for the beef and onion - delicious) or Aero bar (an orgasmic experience, believe me), you might want to pay a visit to one of those public rating site thingies. I have, and I really would be in two minds if I were a freeborn American housewife/husband. Take a look at this site, where 60% of reviews are “bad”, although with only 10 reviews we really should take it with a pinch of Saxo Salt The British Food Depot Reviews | Read Customer Service Reviews of britishfooddepot.com

The Key Principal of the business, or owner to you and I, is a certain John O’Reilly, and I believe that this is our dear departed brother. And in a service unparalleled anywhere else in Prog Forums, you can actually ogle our extraordinarily handsome Blighty brother here British Food Depot - Prepress Services - Catasauqua, PA I would certainly buy a used pork chop from this chap! He used to run a Proper Little Pub in Allentown, but regrettably this closed after no more than a year’s trading. Quite predictable, really, given that 98% of our American cousins prefer the piss water of Bud to good old fashioned English ale. Staggering! I have also found a hit for our friend on a deaf personages site, namely this Orianoskin | Deaf Community but it would appear that he hasn’t posted there, believing instead that the prog masses are more amenable to buying Blighty gravy than those who are hard of hearing. But he has spread his seed on other sites, including one for hairy bikers in The Philippines, of all things Orianoskin | Motorcycle Philippines 

His adventures in Proggerland did not even finish there. He also registered as Walkcotte about the same time, trying to tempt the masses with those aforementioned Walkers Crisps. The ready salted are also quite good by the way. I had some with lunch today.

So! We wish a very happy birthday to our spammy brother! Actually, he flogs spam as well! But I don’t like spam!

Elsewhere, we have no current collabs to report, but if we did, they would almost certainly have expressed their opinion that the position of those three gods from Canada, Rushland, are safe and secure on the site, as they are, indeed, prog, but probably properly situated in Canterbury Scene rather than Heavy Prog on account of the fact they played there live in 1977.

Pip pip!
