Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

Best Competion everWas when I was about 10 and me and my mate were at the local rugby club summer fair. There was a locked cabinet and a box of sawdust with a load of keys at the bottom. You paid 50p, scrabbled round in the sawdust, grabbed a key and then tried the key in the lock. My mate picked the lucky key first time and won a bottle of "pomagne" (rank fizzy cider champagne shite). He told me which key it was to look out for...and, surpise surprise, I won on my go as well! Two bottles of cheap fizzy plonk and lots of stolen lager from the bar later we were ready to take on the world.
Those were the days!
