You’re right. Members came from The Sparrows (Canadian) and I thought they were formed in Toronto but John Kay is American.

John Kay was born in Germany

he has an eye condition called achromatopsia that makes him totally colorblind and sensitive to light, ergo the shades and B&W album art

The only people that know of that have fake white Christmas trees are either Italians, Chinese or Jews.

Which one are you @Sir Napsalot?

I'm of Norman heritage

My family emigrated from Normandy in the 1700s to what was then called Acadia where they were deported by the British, only to return and settle in northern New Brunswick where they were one of 32 families ceded land by the British in 1767 as reparations for having been expelled

Getting disbarred is the least of her worries, getting sued out of existence and perhaps ending up in jail might soon rate higher.

Maritime roots, there has been a revival of Acadian French culture in NB and NS in recent decades, French school systems etc. The usual things that go with respect and inclusion, they have political power too! The only place I believe the Acadians were expelled from was Grand Pre.

After the French revolution and especially after the American revolution, the British cut many "deals" with French Canadians and Quebec. It wasn't just we conquered you, they wanted genuine loyalty too, freedom of language, religion and elected legislatures and their own system of law were granted as the Brits played it smart.

Phase integrity must be maintained for proper imaging as well as frequency response

Have you ever had or spent time with D'Appolito-configured speakers? Phase coherence is supposed to be their forte.

So we have the Brits in common.
They also kicked my ancestors out of the North of Ireland in the 16th century (I forget the exact date ) and sent them packing,
without reperations for them though, just a lot of rocks to move in the West of Ireland so they could grow some fucking potatoes
And I mean a lot of rock
It's the truth.

Sounds very nice of the British.
Who'd they steal the land from before they gave it away?
They were very good at that sort of thing

They tried to civilize the Irish and what thanks did they get?

 

[Jimdamick]

They tried to civilize the Irish

Never wanted to be civilized
Yes, there were a few that attempted that, usually thru the Arts & Literature, such as James Joyce & WB Yeats, but I think most though aligned with Brendan Behan, an author & poet who was noted for his drinking & hate of the English
Nah, we pretend to be civilized, but deep down inside we just love to fight, drink & fuck.
It's not that bad a way to spend your time on this Planet actually.
Think about it

The mi'kmaq

What the fuck is that, some poor Indian tribe?

Happy to see this little devil yesterday - scared the hell out of me, nearly stepped on it. But after we both calmed down a bit, I snapped a picture of it (garter snake) and moved on.
