Situation report from Mexico City: The streets are empty, no traffic, no pedestrians, the air is like electrified, even Popocatepetl is quiet. no smoke no sounds from old grand dad, there is increasing traffic on the internet servers, people checking their wireless connections. ITS PRICEDRAW TIME
Or maybe people just went to church for Easter sermon.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Hi Botty!

uuuups, double post.... sorry!
It's only a quarter of an hour until we all throw our Easter Eggs in the air and shout "Hooray for BeoWorld!", signalling the start of the 'BeoWorld March Prize Draw 2013' - so put down whatever you're doing, fashion a bar of chocolate into a Beo4 and put the kids on Standby. You don’t want to miss the draw do you? Yes – YOU !!
I'm sitting in my Easter Eames Chair just waiting to lean over to the keyboard and lazily strike the winners button, thus bestowing stunningly brilliant goodies upon some lucky winners… BeoWorld.. far too generous, etc etc..
So – you’ve got 15 minutes to get the jobs done… go, go, GO !!!
Get the kettle on, crack open a beer, pour a glass of wine, pop a Christmas Card through next door's letterbox with "Happy July" written on the front, knit yourself a jumper made of twigs and tell everyone your 'branching' out into the fashion industry, then finally apply for the CEO position at Bang & Olufsen telling them you can run a Marathon in 25 minutes whilst designing three pairs of best-selling speakers. That ought to do it..
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..
Anyone fancy a lovely BeoWorld Prize? Botty is here in your very own BeoWorld HQ 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 prizes being given away. Well, i've no idea - really.
For £2.50 a Month, YOU can win any of these - every month. You'll also be supporting the best site on the internet too !!
Back in a few moments - i'm just off to top up my glass of Pinot Grigio…
Beer poured, good luck all.
RL60's & BL6000's skipped to make space, bottle of Port cracked open - bring it on..........................
Ban boring signatures!
Okay Ladies and Gentlemen.. a draw will now start, right here and now! Good to see so many people online tonight. Blimey, you all look lovely too!
I know you're only here, like a flock of vultures to see if you've won. Old Botty counts for nothing these days… Sob, sniff……
Okay, have it your way - here we go !!!!!

9th Prize - Crowood Collectors Book
Here we have THE reference book for B&O. Written (and specially hand signed) by BeoWorld's friends Nick and Tim Jarman (owners of the brilliant Beocentral website) this book introduces the world of Bang & Olufsen, from the futuristic audio and hi-fi systems to the elegant television sets and attractive portable models which have captivated enthusiasts for the best part of four decades. As we all know, Bang & Olufsen have striven to design items that stand the test of time, being both technologically innovative and stylish - so find out 'the ones to have' and 'the ones to avoid' as far as collecting goes in this very book!

8th Prize - Cool Brands Book 2011/12 - B&O

7th Prize - a Bang & Olufsen Spark to Icon Book
Seventh Prize this month is the definitive Bang & Olufsen reference book charting the history and progress of the company from the 1920's up to present day. Great reading, and extremely interesting - the ultimate coffee table accessory (as long as you have a very strong coffee table - these are huge!) for Bang & Olufsen lovers. Comes in its original box, sealed and unopened! These will be collectors items in the future.. A great prize for any Bang & Olufsen lover, but not such a great prize for the postman who has the unenviable task of having it in his postbag..
The winner is...
Mr G. Owen (guyowen) from Little Horwood, UK
Get the sports-support ready for the postman - there's a BIG book coming !!
Rich: Puncher: Hello??????????? Ban boring signatures! Goodbye??????
Puncher: Hello??????????? Ban boring signatures!

Congrats to Guyowen and iPoditiv!

Enjoy reading this book.
... but I pitty your postman, theese books are really heavy!
6th Prize - Rare A5 Glass CD Rack with Maple A6 Ends
Sixth this month is an item we're seeing less and less of as time goes on. With that rarity comes value though, so this is certainly something of an investment piece! It's a beautiful CD Rack in the form of a glass A5 short shelf (acid etched with the Bang & Olufsen logo) and some solid Maple Wood triangular 'A6' Ends which complete the stylish look. A fabulous accessory which would look superb just about anywhere! We also have the rubber, MDF and laminate ends here - so you're welcome to choose an alternative should you win this gorgeous little prize.
Mr S. Pearce (Stonk) from Marlow, UK
Congratulations from all at BeoWorld. Nice Prize!
