Many a true word spoken in jest.
Sunday, January 7th, 2007As I was driving Chris back to Londinium between Christmas and New Year we were listening to his very cool cube keyring mp3 player. It was attached to the car stereo with the DooHickey. Chris commented that the sound quality was not at it’s best and that I needed a new DooHickey.
Rubbish, says I, it just needs the cassette heads cleaning….
Driving back to the Land-That-Civilisation-Forgot later that day, I was still listening to mp3 music via the DooHickey. Until some point along the A509 when it all went quiet. I suspected the tape had snapped and planned to repair it (not whilst driving) with a bit of sticky tape.
When I opened the cassette DooHickey up to take a look I discovered that sticky tape just wasn’t going to be enough. There is no longer any tape left in the thing!! It’s gone! The radio must’ve eaten it!
So, Chris, I apologise. You were right. I do need a new DooHickey!
