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.

I wona lovely shiny "No Smoking" sign and a packet of scented drawer liners for getting 13th in a walking race when I was 10. Funnily enough I used them both... the No Smoking sign still resides on my bedroom door at the parents place and my clothes in the drawers there still smell like lavander mothballs.
So much for the No Smoking sign though. Ah how naive I was back then, I can feel my former self condemning my new habits to HELL...
