Yes, you heard right.
For the first time in human history, in fact, since the conception of the universe, I won't be there to share the fun with you on November the 30th.......

 

....but I've got a good excuse!

I'm going on a date!

Way-Hayy!!!

I hope your excuse is B&O related? 

Jandyt:

I'm going on a date!

Way-Hayy!!!

 

OK, well that's a good excuse as well. 

Jandyt:

I'm going on a date!

Way-Hayy!!!

Are you sure she understood the question??

She's obviously not an avid reader of the forum or else she would know that you are a compulsive sock-weigher and give you a very wide berth

Well, that's great news Andy - best of luck - you'll have to keep us all posted on your progress!!!!

Does she like B&O??!!

Cheers

Nigel

Whatever you do, If she comes back with you for a coffee, dont tell her to wait for you to check if you've won anything :)

And dont start fiddling around with the b&o stereo, showing her how things work :) well, not for too long :)

And I nearly forgot! Good luck!!!!!

It won't be your B&O she'll want to fire up!!

 

Good Luck!

You can do it little longer but with great music on yours BLab's not loud with few ambient lights..... you now what I mean....

good luck!

and beo4 is coming on the end

 

i hope it will go with a BANG

all the best

congrats andy! hope you both have fun...

-at least until she realizes you are never available on wednesdays?!?!?!

Can't wait for the photo thread on this one!

Good luck, my friend! Don't start off by showing her your keyring.

Have a good time Andy. You must both be good at planning ahead, November prize draw isn't for another 12 days!

Let's hope it's not a first date - it's an awful long time to think through all the things to say/do and not to say/do

well eebygum eckythump is the comment Good Luck pertinent?

 

another couple of thoughts -

1 hide the remote

2 service the old sh**ging wagon before the event  -don't want the neighbours to know what you are at althought it'd give 'em something to think about!

Been wondering when the big day was. Hope it all goes well mate.

Hang on, we're all assuming it's a she........

It could be a HE with a passion for B&O!!!!!!!

Wow!
I didn't expect such a big response. Thank you all for your kind wishes.

I used to know "M" when I was a youth, and she was a child. She is most definately a 'she' , and has blossomed into a fine looking woman ten years my junior. I haven't seen her for 34 years, when I was 16 and she was 6, so we have a lot of catching up to do!
My sister had added her as a friend on Facebook, so I did too. It took me weeks to pluck up the courage to ask if we could meet up, and my heart skipped a beat when she replied in the affirmative, I felt like a teenager again!
For our first rendezvous, she would like to have her older sister, "T", (who was briefly married to my older brother!) with her but we haven't decided whether to meet at T's house and go out for Sunday lunch, or meet at my home and then I take them both out to lunch. Either way, I will make sure I have my A9 keyring with me

We may find that we are totally incompatible, and remain 'just friends' but, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
How aware she is of B&O, I'm not sure,but she is sure to know a lot more by the end of that Sunday!
I have been given loads of advice from friends, family; coleagues and pupils, as I have never dated before. My late, lovely wife, Mavis and I got together when I was just 16 and she has been my one and only lover so I am totally clueless when it comes to courting!
I have been told
"Don't overdo the aftershave"
"Don't mention the words 'bed, bedroom or upstairs'!"
"Don't have your shirt tucked in" and "Don't wear a vest"
"Don't talk about Mavis"
"Don't have classical music on"
"Don't drown her in B&O"
My son, Jimmy summed all this up by saying "So basically Dad, you haven't got to be yourself"  Out of the mouths of babes, eh?

Thanks again for your comments, and I will of course let you know how we get on.

Andy.

Hey Andy! Good new! I'm happy you finally got that date. I'm sure you will have a much better evening than we...

... and anyway, you won't win. Over here we say "Luck in love, bad luck in the game" (something like that)

Lots of good advice there Andy - apart from one bit - Don't talk about Mavis - What a load of old twaddle - just don't spend the whole meeting talking about her

Cheers

Nigel

Cheers Nigel and Tom.
I'm just going to be myself. if she likes me, she likes me, eh?
