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.

SudokuHas anyone driven down the motorway from Bristol recently? There's a feck-off HUGE Sudoku engraved into a hillside.
I'm (sadly) addicted to them, and didn't have time to copy it down, so looked it up on the internet later. Found it on the Sky TV website, as part of a postal compo. So when I finished it I sent it in (the first competition I've ever been arsed to buy a stamp for).
A few days ago I got a letter from them - I've won the prize - five grand.
Ahahahaha!
Not exactly a crappy prize - but I thought I'd rub it in for all you poor suckers who have won boxes of biscuits. So far I've bought this and this, and I'm going skiing. Suckers!!!
