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.

Frisbee-eee-ee-eeeeee-e-ee-e-eeeeeee-e-e-e-eeeeeeeeAbout 6 or 7 years ago a few mates and I used to frequent a pub quiz - the free beer often made it worthwhile. We won a rather poor frisbee once - the DJ who did the quiz had got it with some crappy alco-pop promotion or something.
As rubbish as the frisbee was, it lasted a surprisingly long time, particularly as we were throwing it to each other on the way home down the main road. It eventually got smashed by a mate of mine who slung it full pelt into an iron fence. Never mind...
