A lovely set of two Beolink Wireless 1's was received yesterday! They will match my white BS 6500 perfectly!

Very much looking forward to setting them up, although it will take quite a while as they will not be put to use until we move to a bigger home - beobaby on the way and all

A big thank you to Lee and everyone who keeps this site going

Congrats to the winners and let's keep fingers crossed right now til December 31st.
Then you'll have missed it
I believe December's draw actually takes place before Christmas on the evening of the 23rd (I can't check at the moment as the main site seems to be down)
Sorry, I'm a newbie. Thanks for the information Puncher and Lee. So the Prize Draw Count Down has to be corrected...

Anytime

Can't quite believe it myself. I will be having a flutter on the lottery this week that's for sure.
Congrats to the other prize winners & best of luck to everyone else for the next prize draw.

You really should try the lottery, Steve! But don't forget to try it three times!

What a wonderfull day you had, Andy! Hope those are few and far between!

Never mind, I'll solder two bits of wire to the board then to a spare watch battery which was also 1.5 volts. Mistake!
The battery blew up in my face!

Good thing you asked first, so we could tell you to never heat up a lithium battery!

Glad you're OK and had a great night as well

Definately! If you knew what kind of a day I had today, you'd know why I put that!
Started off this morning, I had a driving test that was likely to be cancelled due to frost, the lass was in a terrible state.
Just half an hour before I left the house to pick her up, my son Jimmy came round with his fiance. He had been up all night feeling ill and informed me that his faeces was black! I straight away thought blood and sent him straight to the doctors. They sent him in an ambulance to the A and E. I still had the girl's driving test to do, but shot off to the hospital straight after. It turns out that his hemaglobin (sp) levels were fine, so it was unlikely to have internal bleeding, and more likely a viral infection. Waiting for an Xray at the mo.
On Saturday, I had spent the whole day up the ladder in Arctic conditions, putting Christmas lights all around the outside of my house, all ready for switching on today, 1st Dec.
When I got home from the hospital I went up in the loft to switch on, but the timer had no display so I couldn't. Instead, I pulled the timer to bits to locate the lithium battery. Bearing in mind that it was not user-fixable and had no screws, I did a good job of pulling it apart but sadly snapped the battery off the circuit board.
Never mind, I'll solder two bits of wire to the board then to a spare watch battery which was also 1.5 volts. Mistake!
The battery blew up in my face!
Luckily I wear glasses, but got black slimy stuff all over my face, the floor, the microwave etc. I later found some solder had welded itself round a clump of my hair! I eventually managed to solder the two bits of wire to some bits of brass out of an old torch and wrapped an elastic band round the original battery, holding the two brass bits to it.. Hey Presto! It worked. My lights look great, but not sure if they'll switch themselves off at 11.30 tonight!
Sorry, I've no idea why I have spilled my guts out on a Prize Draw thread. Must be to make up for my lack of input yesterday!

Mr Jandyt of the National Date Correction Association Ltd checking in here.

WHAT! I didn't win anything! Obviously not being present at the draw makes no difference then.
I had a great time yesterday meeting a girl I haven't spoken to for 34 years. We got on really well and, although we had a couple of hugs, I'm not sure whether it will blossom into romance, I'll keep you informed if anything develops

Congratulations to all of you who won something, and especially to Luka. Something to take his mind of tennis, girls and cars (or Tennis girls in cars) Well done mate.

Thanks to all the regular faeces who kept Botty company in my absence, your input is so important.
Thanks again to Lee for giving all these lovely prezzies away.
See you all again on the 23rd of December.

Andy T.

It will take place on the 23rd, yes. I doubt we would have much of an audience on New Years Eve !!

Wireless is the new Black – so here is 2nd Prize!

Now you can connect any Active Loudspeaker from the Bang & Olufsen range remotely to an audio master system with BeoLink Wireless 1. You no longer need cables to enjoy CD quality stereo sound anywhere in the house. Every bit of information is transmitted in uncompressed form via a very robust wireless technology, whether the source is computer, CD, radio or TV sound.
There are no audible delays, no fall-outs, and no crackling. Just the familiar Bang & Olufsen sound quality in a previously unfamiliar location. The physical BeoLink Wireless 1 will act as either a transmitter or a receiver. You will need at least one of each, so here we have a PAIR of units finished in classic White for you! A truly fantastic Prize that we all want!

The lucky wireless winner is…

Mr B. Kappel Schmidt (benkap) of Oslo, Norway

Very well done to you – enjoy!!

I WON SOMETHING!!!!!!

Holy macaroni! I couldn't believe it when I saw the email a few minutes ago! My hands are literally shaking and I am so happy and greatful for this

Thank you so much and thanks for this excellent website! Congratulations to all the other prize winners and thanks again.

Ben
