on sunday while workin on this*, word of a RECORD PLAYER popped up on hackney freecycle, and i sed ME ME ME and they sed OK

on monday after work i caught the bus to stoke newington to pick it up -- tortuous journey on an over-full 73 gah bah -- and knocked on the door

"hallo i'm here for the record player"
as dad ran upstairs to bring it down, his winsome kids (boys, 4-6 i'd guess) looked at me
"what's a record player?" asked the one nearer me
"it's an ancient technology of interest to just a handful of historians" i replied (i'm great with kids!) "well you say that," said mum coming out of the kitchen grinning and sipping her tea, "but you've no idea how many responses we got after yours!"

anyway D00D i can has phonograrf again yay

*(update: r0b has cut it by 800 words but i haven't looked at the cut yet as i am workin on helvetica today)
