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.

Afternoon at workOne of my colleagues ran a competition to think of a band name this afternoon - I won with my puerile suggestion of "The Cockstraps". The prize? One blackcurrant flavoured anaesthetic throat lozenge. mmmm.
Actually I won because I said I'd "squeeze out the anaesthetic and put it in my eye"...
