[quote user="9 LEE"] Our legendary moderator Chris 'medogsfat' is currently concocting thirteen of his trickiest questions to excercise your grey matter. The BeoWorld Team BeoWorld - Everything Bang & Olufsen [/quote] The thirteen worst shirts seen on Beoworld perhaps?? Bring it on!!!

Did anyone ever try THIS ?? I posted on it HERE , last April. It enabled me to play ALAC using WMP11 which (I assume) is the basis of the BM5. Can't try BM5 as I don't have one! All attempts (and subsequent results) are of course entirely at your own risk! Perhaps a dealer would be willing to give it a shot ??????????

[quote user="9 LEE"] [quote user="vikinger"] All a bit off-topic but interesting!.... [/quote] A bit off topic?!! What started as an announcement for a Bang & Olufsen collectors guide, signed by the authors has now morphed into a full scale pre-decimal currency ramble !! Only on BeoWorld.. Lee [/quote] You started it - wittering

[quote user="Peter "] - an old penny was a substantial coin---------------------------[/quote] I remember checking every penny I got in case it was a "legendary" 1933 coin!

[quote user="j0hnbarker"] I love this stuff! WTF is a florin? Some of the names of the old coins and random amounts are comical: florin/tanner/bob :D [/quote] Not that random really - just that there were 12 pennies to the shilling (240 to the pound), so that you had halfpenny, penny, threepenny, sixpenny, shilling, two shilling and half crown

[quote user="Peter "] I used to get a half crown a week pocket money until decimalisation when I got a rise to 15p (three shillings). I kept my last half crown - here it is along with a full crown (never really used as currency though I do remember converting all my notes to crowns one year just to annoy shop keepers), a florin and a new 10p

[quote user="j0hnbarker"] [quote user="Puncher"] Put it this way - if you were to sponsor me Thruppence a yard, you'd get change from a Ten bob note! [/quote] ? Can anyone born before 1676 convert this into metric? [/quote] If you have to ask, you can't afford it!

[quote user="Medogsfat"] Will your swim to Mauritius be sponsored Puncher? Chris. [/quote] Put it this way - if you were to sponsor me Thruppence a yard, you'd get change from a Ten bob note!

[quote user="tournedos"] Soundproof, where do you get these stories? There has been no "DOS core" in Windows since NT 3.1... I'm sure that story of yours is a great bar joke at the Apple evangelists' convention, but let's try to stay with the facts here. Or just bury this crappy thread. [/quote] This thread is a prime

[quote user="9 LEE"] [quote user="Puncher"] I'm sorry but that's just plain daft! - why didn't you just post it from Mauritius .................. simple! [/quote] Great, i've cancelled the postage and i'm sending it to you. Have a good flight to Mauritius and thanks for offering Lee [/quote] I don't know
