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.

I stuck it rich with River Island!Wandering around town with the missus, filled in some competition form that was stuck under our nose for some 'River Island' offer... thought nowt of it.
Que 6 months later a letter from their head office "congratulations blah blah blah £500 blah blah" ..HANG ON, i read back, "£500 worth of gift vouchers for River Island" GET IN! never won FUCK ALL in my life.
Get there... spend AGES buying shite we'll never wear, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 denim jackets, tee's, etc, etc... got to the counter, handed over the vouchers "oh - these are no longer valid currency - you'll have to send them to Head Office for replacement... and anyway - where'd u get £500 of vouchers?" looking at us shiftyly
Que them ringing the filth and Head Office to confirm our story - EVEN THOUGHT THE STUPD BITCH SERVING WAS THE ONE WHO HANDED US THE COMPETITION FORM 6 MONTHS EARLIER....
We sent them off - heard nowt from them since. Fuck them. expensive tat for wankers. Not that i'm bitter about the ONLY thing i'd ever won
