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.

Hang the D.J.When I was about 16 growing up in Hull I entered local radios "Beard Game" competition (I think I was looking for excuses not to revise or something).
After being given a couple of clues I had to guess the place he was talking about (it ended up being the fishing heratage centre in grimsby, a high-class local land-mark at the time).
After all of this the D.J. promised to send me my prize in the post, its now 7 years on and no prize:( I can't even remember what my prize was supposed to be.
Viking FM and Cameron the D.J. are still on my hate list
