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.

Damn Subject!Well i have ammassed quite a few crappy prizes in my time, theres always going to be the classic goldfish in a bag from the circus folk, the pen from the lucky dip at school. But i'll tell ya the crappiest prize i've ever won was......
a key
Yes a key thats right! I couldnt have imagined a more exciting prize when i was 12 at the tombola in the church hall. Except all the wine and money and ooooo I wanted that Game boy so much.........
When i asked the old bat calling the numbers out what the key was for she just said to me like I was a 5 year old,
"Thats the key to happiness dear you should be very glad you've won that!"
I told her to stick her bloody key.........
IT DIDN'T EVEN OPEN ANYTHING!
