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.

Up the Scrunge!Our local pub has a quiz every Sunday, hosted by an old, weird local legend called Stoney.
Every week my mates and I participate as 'Team Scrunge' (Bristolian word for a ladies special part). After a good couple of years of losing and generally taking the piss, one night we finally clicked! (The fact that the 'Name That Song' round was basicly playing bits of a free CD given with the News Of The World that same day was a factor!) We were like drunken University Challenge, every question was answered and low and behold WE WON! We had beat our arch nemesis 'Here for the Beer' (bunch of old twunts who work at the swimming pool! Chlorine smelling bastards!) and were invited to collect out fantastic prize! On going to the bar we received 'Toy Soldiers' on VHS and a certificate with 'Team Scrunch' written on it.
Arse.
