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 am the greatest dancer.While at university in high wycombe, a local dive managed to get the DJs from Morcheeba to hold a night of dancing and merrymaking. There was going to be some top prizes for the best dancers, judged by the Morcheeba guys, including a nice skateboard. I could see some easy ebay money on the horizon, so on the night i danced my little heart out. imagine my excitement when i discovered i had won! over the din of the speakers i was awarded... one of those crappy key-chain things that boarders wear hanging out of their jeans. I didn't understand why my efforts weren't rewarded with the spangley new skateboard until the next day when my housemate got home. She's managed to pull one of the Morcheeba DJs and gone back to his hotel in his ferarri. On the way, he'd told her about the guy SO SHIT at dancing that they'd given him a consolation prize. Twunt. Still, he was shit in bed apparently.
