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.

As Nerd From HellI have the great honour of being a previous winner of Northumberlands coveted U-18's Chess Championship.The atmosphere was tense, the crowd was restless, and there was only 2 entrants. I mentally pounded my fearsome(yet only opponent) only to find out that last years winner had 'sold' the huge trophy, and I got a crappy plasticated shield thing instead. Tw@t.
