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.

Not me exactlybut my granny enters absolutely every competitions she can and gives away the prizes she gets.
Here are a few examples:
- the best one she got was a great mountain bike with loads of gears and stuff. She asked my uncle if he wanted it, he said he already had one thank you very much. Then she asked my auntie, she said no thank you, so my granny asked my cousin who said yes thank you very much. The proposal never went down to my Dad (who's the youngest of my granny's kids).
- She gives us GOLD she wins every year, and as she's living in the past a bit, she thinks it's worth a lot, but 5 grams gold is not even worth a tenner...
- Books about bears and where they live and eat and shag: when you're 15, sorry but you don't give the slightest shite
- Book holder for the crappy books
- Hand made dollies that scare the shit out of me (have you seen the eyes on them??? Have you?)
