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.

Bentleys a touch of class..I recently went on a golf trip sponsored by Bentley who were providing all the prizes etc .
There were three prizes for overrall winning team , longest drive and closest to the pin . They handed out the longest drive first which was the use of a new Bentley continental GT for the weekend . So i was getting quite excited as my team won the overrall day and i had closest to the pin , what did we get overrall winners a Bentley umbrella each !! and closest to the pin ( a test of true skill rather than brute force ) a poxy metal dinky toy style replica about 1 billionth scale.
Just because of that i decided not to order a fleet of new Bentleys and stick with my bashed up truck instead.
