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.

well when i was 8 years old...i sent a picture into the thomas the tank engine magazine. it was a picture of the little blue engine along side james the red engine and the fat bas.. i mean controller. anyway they posted my picture and it was the best out of the other two and all the entrants were given two thomas the tank engine books. now for an 8 year old, with not alot of sense, that was a fucking gold mine but after waiting 4 weeks the things never came and cue me being very upset.
the next week went i was in school a package came. when i got home i opened the package with a letter of apology saying that the books were lost in the mail and that they have sent something else instead. and that something else was...... a wind back thomas the tank engine model. i thought that it was the best thing of my life.
but i just check on ebay and i found the exact same thing going for..... 99p
