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.

bastard awardsMy school gives out awards at the end of each term for those who have a particualr ability in each subject. fair enough. They also give out the most pointless award ever created '100% attendance' (for that term). I haven't been ill for five years and so I haven't been off school since I joined, and I'm bloody sick of these pointless things. they really have no meaning at all when you have 12 of them, or would have except for the fact that I burned them all! when given my 12th I actually told the deputy head, in front of my whole year, to never give me another, I have to many and I just burn them. he laughed.
This year they decided that those who have 100% attendance over the whole year (me included) deserved more than a crappy certificate. i revieved an envelope. in the envelope was a piece of paper. on the paper was written:
"I.O.U one book voucher". ffs
