"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
William Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part 2, Act 4
Get the kettle on, crack open a beer, pour a glass of wine, wear a BeoSound 2 on your head like a drunken student with a traffic cone, tell next door's cat it could model for the new Spring/Summer BeoPlay 'Tabby' Range, then win the EuroMillions Lottery, buy 'The Farm' HQ from Bang & Olufsen and turn it into a Budgie Sanctuary. Whatever.. the draw is imminent - Hurry up !!.
I’ve just drawn the names and matched them up to the Prizes – so could YOU be one of our lucky winners tonight?? Chances are, you are..
I am curious who's going to win...Good luck to all
Anyone fancy a lovely BeoWorld Prize? Botty is here in your very own BeoWorld Headquarters and is ready to launch prizes worldwide. It's that time again when you all think to yourselves 'How do they manage to do it?' whilst you look at the fantastic prizes being given away. Well, i've no idea - really.
For £2.50 a Month, less than the price of a cup of coffee, YOU can win any of these - every quarter. You'll also be supporting your favourite site on the internet, too !!
Back in a few moments - I'm just going to lay down and breathe slowly, totally bemused in every way, shape and form at the generosity here on BeoWorld!

10th Prize - 100 Years of Danish Loudspeakers Book
Thursday December 10th, 2015 is the exact day of the 100th year anniversary of the electrodynamic loudspeaker. 100 years earlier, on December 10th, 1915, the Dane Peter Laurits Jensen and his partner Edwin Pridham presented their groundbreaking invention to the public in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. The next day The San Francisco Bulletin published an enthusiastic article about the event: “Great invention made of Californians solves many problems. The slender tone of a single violin heard about a mile away. The sound operatic Luisa Tetrazzini’s voice reverberating throughout the stadium, and a piano solo resembling the chimes of Westminster Abbey played by Colossus of Rhodes”. The loudspeaker was born.
To mark the historical day Danish Sound Innovation Network publishes a coffee table book entitled Danish Loudspeakers - 100 years. The book has been edited by DELTA and made with generous contributions from the Danish loudspeaker industry. What a read!
Tonight's first Winner is...
Mr S. McGrory (Stevemac) from Goole, UK
A lovely prize - well done… and Happy Reading!
I have that book, an excellent read. Congrats, Stevemac
Seems to be a rather quiet draw tonight...
Congrats Stevemac... a great pirze
Enjoy the reading

In Third we have a super-stylish 'Box of Boom' in the form of a BeoLit 15 Bluetooth Speaker!

All this with up to 24 hours play on a single charge it's pretty impressive, too! It has a USB socket, external 3.5mm input and of course a solid Bluetooth 4.2 connection. If you've never heard one of these in action - prepare to be impressed.. they really do sound five times larger than they actually are, and the awards it received upon launch were truly well deserved.
