20 minutes. I've surprised myself by remembering!
vikinger: 20 minutes. I've surprised myself by remembering!
Yay! I’ll go find my laptop, perhaps it will boot in time for that!

It's only a quarter of an hour until I don my Santa hat and pour myself another large glass of Champagne, signalling the start of the 'BeoWorld Christmas Prize Draw 2018' where we'll be dishing out some seriously good BeoPrizes!
.
So.... put down whatever you're doing, put your best and loudest Christmas jumper on and do your 'lucky twerk'.. You don’t want to miss the draw do you? Yes – YOU !! I'm sitting on my Christmas Throne once more, waiting to leap up like an enthusiastic reindeer at the front of Santa's sleigh and festively plonk my finger on the prize draw button, thus bestowing some Festively Fabulous Prizes upon some Lucky Winners… BeoWorld.. far too generous... and I tell you every single Christmas!!
So – you’ve got 15 minutes to get the jobs done… go, go, GO !!!
I'm here! First time in over 10 years that I have attended a live draw!
Get the kettle on, crack open a Christmas beer, pour a glass of sherry, build a chair out of mince pies and sit on it, fill the bath with mulled wine and do a 'Christmas Cleopatra' then get out, towel yourself down and marry the Christmas Tree in a bizarre yet original festive ceremony.. I don't know why i bother with these gags though - nobody reads them.. 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 Christmas Winners tonight?? Chances are, you are..
Anyone fancy a lovely BeoWorld Christmas Prize? Botty is here in your very own BeoWorld HQ and is ready to launch a big pile of Festive 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 prizes being given away. Well, i've no idea - really. It's Christmas Magic, right here!
For just £2.50 a Month, YOU can win any of these. Not once, but FOUR times a year. You'll also be supporting the best site on the internet too !!
Back in a few moments - i'm just off to grab a mince pie to finish my chair off...
Okay Ladies and Gentlemen.. a Christmas Prize Draw will now start, right here and now! Good to see so many people online tonight, it makes me happy and proud to be so utterly loved by one and all...
What? You're here to see if you've won a prize? At least humour me and say you're here to see your old Botty this Christmas.. I do get lonely you know.
Okay, you're not, I accept that and will move on..
10th Prize - B&O Art of Impossible Book + B&O Mousemat
First up and in 10th we have the latest book from Bang & Olufsen! Yes, it's a brand new sealed copy of 'Art of Impossible'. The Art of Impossible takes you behind the company logo and delves into the stories behind each of the breakthrough, iconic Bang & Olufsen designs from their first ever product through to the BeoLab 90. There's information on both the materials and manufacturing processes used for each Bang & Olufsen model, as well as profiles on the designers behind each innovative creation. The underlying philosophy, though, remains unwavering : that design must always serve a purpose! Plus - a bonus... Because it looked so cool when we put it down on top of the book we'll let you have a brand new, official Bang & Olufsen Mousemat along with it. It's Christmas after all !!
Tonights first Christmas winner is..
Mr G. Stapleton (joeyboygolf) from Little Downham, UK
Very nice too - well done and Happy Christmas Reading!!
Well done Graham
Well done JBG!
I saw a snowman in the carrot section at the supermarket today. He was picking his nose...
Good evening Beoworlders
and good luck !
9th Prize - The official Bang & Olufsen 'Christmas Set'
Only on BeoWorld do you find Prizes with such thought given! We've literally scoured the planet over the last months with compiling this little collection in mind - and we did it! So.. we have some genuine heavy-duty officially branded Bang & Olufsen Nutcrackers to start with. Then we thought about the Christmas wine and champagne, so found one of the rare official B&O Bottle Stops (these are amazing by the way). For when you're pouring the wine you'll need some drip stops - so we found some original B&O branded ones. Job done. Then, we set ourselves the task of finding a bottle opener.. but not one of the common ones. Nope - not for BeoWorld... We wanted the rare, original red-cover version - and we found one!! So there you have it. What a little collection - and it's all yours if you win 9th.
The winner is…
Mr R. Suchanek (Foxtrott) from Vienna, Austria
Jolly well done to you - What a lovely Prize for the Beo-Collector!
What happened to Botty’s avatar ?!?
Well done Mr Foxtrott !
A cracking prize, Foxtrott!
Santa never goes to Hospital when he's ill. He's got Private Elf Care....

well done Foxtrott

Santa loves a bit of R&B. Apparently his favourite female singer is 'Bey-on-sleigh'. He doesn't mind a bit of Spruce Springsteen and Elfis Presley, either ....
Well done valve1 and beold! Nice headsets.

The H3 are superb Earphones
Congratulations also to all other Winners so far
