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.

Unbelievable crap...I have won some stuff in my time... the soundtrack to "My Girl", which to be fair had some decent music on it, and some kind of adventure game went with it. I won it from Radio 5, back when they still had a children's programme (1992), and my Dad was producing the AM Alternative... memories. Nepotism? Perhaps, after all he did tell me the answer to the question. Then there was the Pudsie teddy bear I won at a competition from the local library, and then that was it for my childhood and teenage years where I underwent a complete drought of not winning anything. Then last Christmas I won a packet of toffies, which sorted out my munchies. All small stuff, but looking back was probably all a bit naff to be fair.
