OK cool if you had a gramophone that's fine. I was one year old in 1963 so I would not have seen any such thing except as I say on the label of the His Master's Voice records my so-called father collected.

Ah, separates! When you could be the state-of-the-art guy, eschew all those three-in-ones where if one part (record player/radio/tape) broke you had no way to replace it, and go for the components of your choice, having endless fun linking them all up with RCA cables and then figuring out how the damn speakers fit into the whole setup! The freedom to "upgrade" your tape deck, or turntable - heaven. Good days.

Hi-fi's actually came out in the 1950's. That's when you began to see albums that would advertise themselves as "Stereophonic" and "High Fidelity". I think they dropped the hi-fi tag by the late sixties and simply began to call them stereos.

1. Do you prefer wired or wireless keyboard/mouse?

2. How many times a day do you have tea or coffee?

3. What talent do you have, if any, which you feel is being wasted, or not used to its fullest potential?

4. What, if anything, would you consider acceptable or understandable as an excuse for murder/manslaughter?

5. Do you, generally, spend more time looking back or forward, i.e., do you keep going over or looking to the past, or are you a person more concerned with the future?

6. Will apes be our masters?

But seriously...

6. Given the opportunity, would you rather be a bird or a fish?

Wireless mouse, more maneuverability

2. How many times a day do you have tea or coffee?

Neither. I gave up caffeine years ago

3. What talent do you have, if any, which you feel is being wasted, or not used to its fullest potential?

I used to be a great kazoo player

4. What, if anything, would you consider acceptable or understandable as an excuse for murder/manslaughter?

Better question. If you could go back in time and had a chance at popping off Hitler, would you take it?

5. Do you, generally, spend more time looking back or forward, i.e., do you keep going over or looking to the past, or are you a person more concerned with the future?

I guess I'm guilty of going into the past wondering what I could have done different. No real hope for the future, sad to say.

6. Will apes be our masters?

I thought we were the apes.

But seriously...

6. Given the opportunity, would you rather be a bird or a fish?

Why would I want to be a fish? I mean who wants to get chased by bigger fish all the time and get their mouths stuck on hooks because you have an appetite for worms?

Mind control.

Just one cup in the am to jolt me into reality.

Finding the natural acoustically percussive sweet spots of every day objects.

Snoring.

Learn from the past, live in the now, hope for the future.

It's my new 52 minute scat metal reggae math rock anthem.

An excuse for manslaughter? Like I accidentally ran over Hitler but it's cool?

1. Do you prefer wired or wireless keyboard/mouse?

Wireless, but it's not a big deal. Cables draping all over the place are a nuisance, but so is having to replace batteries.

2. How many times a day do you have tea or coffee?

Zero or one (coffee), but I drink a lot of iced coffee flavoured milk, two or three 600ml cartons a day.

3. What talent do you have, if any, which you feel is being wasted, or not used to its fullest potential?

Playing the piano

4. What, if anything, would you consider acceptable or understandable as an excuse for murder/manslaughter?

If it was to prevent other people's deaths, and if there were no legitimate police force to deal with the perpetrator(s), then perhaps I could justify it.

5. Do you, generally, spend more time looking back or forward, i.e., do you keep going over or looking to the past, or are you a person more concerned with the future?

I try to balance it, but I suppose I spend more time thinking about the past.

6. Will apes be our masters?

I don't answer to any ape.

But seriously...

6. Given the opportunity, would you rather be a bird or a fish?

Hey that's seven questions!

A bird. I think the views would be better.

wireless I guess?

If I work from home or have the opportunity I drink a pot of tea (~1.6L) 3 times a day. So that's almost 5 litres a day lol

none of my talents are used to their full potential, but mainly drawing and music
4. What, if anything, would you consider acceptable or understandable as an excuse for murder/manslaughter?
self defence in direct threat of life, or severe assault like rape I think

hell idk. Both

I mean America had Donald Trump for president for four years so...

6. Given the opportunity, would you rather be a bird or a fish?

No. If The Twilight Zone has taught us anything, it's that you can't change history. Kill Hitler and perhaps outrage over his death would tip the world into war anyway? Or, if you're talking about before he got famous/infamous, again no, because surely someone else would have taken his place: he wasn't the only rabid anti-Semite in Germany, and remember, he was being used initially so I expect they could have found someone else.

Ur mom
Is this just a general term of abuse? If not, do you mean my mother, in which case you cannot kill what does not live, or do you mean me, in which case I agree. Nobody should have to suffer my presence, especially me. **** me.

Nah the sixth is a joke question, so still only six really.
