[quote user="wirralsimon"] [quote user="j0hnbarker"] Northerners - should we do it? We have two northerners (me and Puncher) who have expressed an interest, and a new honorary northerner (nmartin771) onboard. Anyone else? [/quote] Sounds good to me.... Simon [/quote] We got momentum :) But where is 'north' for such a meet

I didn't hear about the BL1s, but remember the MX as it was sent to his dad in Bradford (about 7 miles or so from me). Seriously though, I had the Pentas sent from Sweden, and an Avant sent from Cambridge (not as far) in the original shipping crates and they arrived completely unscathed. Hope you have some luck soon though - I've hankered after

Dave Take heart - I had a twenty year old pair of Beovox Pentas shipped from Sweden to the UK by surface mail in their original B&O crates and they arrived in 100% A1 condition. Get those boxes and you'll be fine. Good luck :)

[quote user="nmartin771"] It will be great but it is 2500 km for me [/quote] Don't worry - us Brits find a 25km distance off putting, so it's unlikely to happen anyway! Shame though....

Perhaps the northern UK Beoworlders could have a get together? There are quite a few lurking out there.....

[quote user="britops"] I'm listening to the CD now, I always been a big fan from The Smiths days. (still refusing to buy digital downloads) [/quote] I got the album on vinyl as a birthday present last week. What do you think of it?

De-clawing is illegal here in the UK - though I can see why you might want to do it for a house cat if the laws in your area permit it. We have two ragdolls that are thankfully very pliant by nature, and I cut their claws back because as they are house cats, they don't go outside and expereince the wearing effect of rough surfaces. They're strange

Well done! Not worth a new tube though. Think they run to approx £700 in the UK. More than you'd get back for a minter BV3 I'm afraid.

Keep going Martin :) I really like the way you're so committed to making your changes reversible, should the appropriate parts turn up somehow. Best of luck with it!
