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.

Yet another one ive just rememberedPrimary School - we have a week long thing whihc involved doing loads of police type work - you know the sort of thing i mean - or maybe you dont
stuff like learning the alphabet the coppers use, fingerprinting, crime scene reports - was all aces to be honest
Then we get told the last competition thing would win - wait for it - a ride in a police helicopter! - right - im having some of that i think in my 6/7 year old way
Speand AGES writing the greates work of fiction in terms of crime scene reports ever
(other than those messy mistakes with the guildford four and birmingham six)
A shoe-in thinks i - work my arse off for it - lo and behold yours truly wins
