Not so mega
When i was but a nipper, i entered one of those quiz lines they used to have on the old ceefax system on itv (the one they had before tv-am finished and it changed). you know the type, pay approx £80 a minute and answer 5 questions about cartoons and football and you can win a glorious prize - which in this case was a state of the art games console ( sega megadrive to be precise). awesome.

so i entered, got all my questions correct, left my details and waited in hope...

2 weeks late i'm over at my weekly badminton club (i was a cool kid) and my mum comes over saying she has some good news - some guy just called saying i'd won a megadrive! holy jebus! now, this is where the problems started. my mum had taken the phone call, and she was a bit sketchy about the details. it was on its way to me apparently. but she didn't know when.

so i waited.

and waited.

puberty came and went.

i waited some more. still no megadrive.

then one day i received an envelope in the post. which was weird in itself, cos i only ever got mail at christmas and birthday times. what was in the envelope? well, only the receipt for one megadrive console from a dixons in birmingham. and nothing else. no letter of explanation, no details, nothing! gah!

it was bad enough i didn't get it, but for some bastard to taunt me was just too much. the cunt.
