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.

Rock on!I once won a Gary Numan record in a competition on the late John Peel's BBC Radio Cambridgeshire show... He even read out my name on air!
Why did I win it? Because nobody else bloody wanted it, of course, so I was the only bloody entrant.
It wasn't very long but it was twelve inches wide.
