Financial Times may have removed captcha

I've had some special help with the developers there but think they've finally removed the captcha. Does someone want to try a test recipe?

1) this uses social referrers - Kovid do you object to checking in this in mainline code?

2) there are some failures intermittently. Kovid, is there a way to override the fetch mechanism to retry if exception is thrown the first time? It seems to work if retried (subsequent runs have different missing articles)

3) for whatever reason it seems to work best single threaded
