Congratulations!!! ...and wife that likes B&O... could be an expensive marraige! hahaha!

hehe yep, although she's not too 'Beobrite'. We'll go in to the B&O store and she'll ask me everytime which products we have...

Marriage = big $$, but divorce would mean losing half the B&O!!! I think I'll stay married....

I think i pass on getting married! What's that saying again? "what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine".

You can avoid loosing half of your equipment and money very easy - it just has to look like an accident

33........soon 34......feeling like a 23 years old! My wife which is also B&O addicted is 37!

32 (recently)... no wife, no kids

I often feel like a 23 year old ........................ unfortunately persuading them is extremely difficult

Old enough to remember Plato as a classmate.

Brilliant!

75.  My wife is not overwhelmed by B&O's prices (she is a Yorkshire lass), so I am having to approach changing my BV7-40 MkII for a MkIV with great care! 

I knew i was getting old when i realised this..

When i was in my 20's we had a big gang of us that used to go out, and we used to go for a meal before going to the bars/clubs.  This was seen as 'lining your stomach' for the pending alcohol assault, and was done as quickly as possible as we had nothing too important to talk about except how much we wanted to get amongst the action in the clubs and bars.

In my 30's - i now see the meal as a great place to have a laugh, talk, order drinks at my leisure and generally relax and enjoy good company and conversation.  I then go on to bars/clubs dreading queuing half an hour for an overpriced drink, dodging drunkards with pints splashing all over my shoes and music that's not only loud but immensely poor quality (well, i listen to B&O all day..). The meal is now the highlight of the evening!

I also hate getting drunk (don't get me wrong, i still do it - i'll never learn..) as hangovers are a curse that last 2-3 days as i get older. 

Don't get me wrong though - i'm young in mind, i like modern music and follow fashion (exceot in running gear before puncher starts again..), but your values change as you get older.  I also work 6 days a week, 12 hours a day - so Sundays i spend totally with my family, and a hangover ruins that day.  Age and responsibility.. it comes to us all.

Moral of the story - enjoy yourself whilst you're young free and single.  It doesn't last forever!!

That's  a really good point i need to remember that. I relate to the 30's paragraph

23 ;)

I'm 20.

Interesting age distribution; I would have guessed the average age being somewhere in the forties. Maybe the younger beoworlders are just more prone to adding to this thread!

Hi Lee

Could not have said it better myself.In my age(65) if you had to choose between an excellent meal or a night with a beautiful women you probaly would choose the meal

Not quite..

Given the choice between a meal and a nightclub - i'd choose the meal.  Given the choice between a night with a beautiful woman and a meal, my table reservation would be rather cancelled.

However, i feel obliged to say that the offer of a night with a beautiful woman wouldn't happen as i'm both married and ugly.  Thankfully, that takes the choice away, and with it goes the dilemma.

- welcome to Togdom!

If we go out in town now to celebrate a birthday with friends, we are more likely to go at lunchtime, spend all afternoon int' pubs etc. and then head home, to end the evening at someone's house, just as all of the bright young things start to arrive! It's much better - you can enjoy each others company and conversation without being drowned out by a loud, horrendous, repetitive dirge, there are no queues and  there are no (other) drunkards to bother you!

btw - I hope it was only pints splashing your shoes! (I think you are becoming a little overly sensitive about that shirt - it was very................ shapely)

36 , ive just had to ask as i can never remember ,  have been together with my lovely Tara for nearly 14 years now , we decided to not get married or have kids of our own but instead plan to foster .

What most people are surprised to hear is that is was Tara who got me into B+O and not the other way around

So............... having already admitted Tara does all of the work at Iconic-AV, you now tell us she is the real fan! You may as well have just said at the outset that you are just a hanger-on!

Yes well Tara did get into B+O first, but its me that got obsessed
