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.

Now That's Crappy. :o(
(look UP 5 posts)
It was MEANT to be a joke about getting the "coveted first post" as a crappy prize, and having a little bonus-dig at the Infamous-German-sunbed-reservers.... but this just takes the biscuit. :'(
Mod Edit:
Whoah. We're just getting bored of the first n posts being placeholders for when people get around to posting something. Sorry for not seeing your ironic posting :) Delete all this crap.
Humpty Edit:
No probs Mod... though I think I'll leave this chat as a message to others: I too find the Race for first place to be a bore. The best posts are always on page 3 anyway!! ;o)
Apologies for length and for it coming in short bursts!!!
