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.

Shit week at uniMate turns up from home town and we scrape up just enough money for a 8 pack of some cheap beer which we drink most of and go out for a bit. No pulling luck later, we come back safe in the knowledge that at least there is 1/2 a beer each before bed. As I open the can, fittz, up pops a tube from the ring pull hole. What the Fuck? quickly read the side of the can, and there are prizes of £5000, £10000 etc. RESULT! we plan the weekend in about 10 seconds and then open up the prize tube. A fiver, a fucking full five hundred pence.
Not a terrible prize, but it is when all of the off licenses are closed until morning and all you are left with is a specially packed beer can to avoid weight detection, i.e. no beer and an impotent five pound note.
Fuck the length, it's the girth that counts
