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.

Radio Phone InWhen I was about 10, Radio Merseyside used to have a daily phone-in competition called "Ask Yer Mam" where they'd set a question and if your Mum knew the answer you'd win 3 top 40 singles. I quite wanted the Blues Brothers single that was out at the moment.
I got through after trying and trying for days. They didn't ask me what singles I wanted and I got three crap ones. From what I can remember (they must be at my Mum's house somewhere) one was the Blow Monkeys and the other The Hothouse Flowers. I was gutted.
