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.

Last day of work......in the pharmaceutical industry where they take on and let go graduates with regularity. Our 1 year contract was up so we all went down to the Hare in Harlow and sank some pints and talked about our future endeavours.
We were having a jolly time when the landlady strolled over and asked if we wanted to take part in the raffle - at 20p a pop, we all chipped in. The prize could have been 'anything'.
The bastard Steve only went and won. See how pleased he is with a selection of meats!
