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.

Sadly I didn't win ...One of our local papers (The Hunts Post, I believe) once ran the shittest competition EVER!
Imagine if you will, the front page headline "WIN A SANDWICH!!!"
Oh, I am also a male artistic roller skating champion, although I've lost the less than impressive trophy. I probably hold the title to this day as no other teenage boy in the last 25 years has had the nerve to wear the necessary black satin trousers/white shirt (not frilly, 'cos that would just have looked stupid) combo. I'm amazed I didn't get beaten up more often.
