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.

Return of the Reveller.I've told this story on a previous question of the week.
I won a weekend away for two at a travel lodge in Bolton. Bolton FFS! And I lived in Wigan (about 4 miles away) at the time. Cheers Bass breweries. The local rag did a piece on me and my prize and called me 'Wigan Reveller', great. I lived that one down in a hurry.
