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.

dancingwhen i was 7 i was at a school fete and for some unknown reason, there was a square dancing competition. i hate dancing immensely, and i always have, but on the stage at the front was an enormous pile of chocolate, boxes full of it, and i was a chocoholic. so i joined the other dancers and square danced more enthusiastically than i would like to remember, and for much longer than i would have liked to. after an age they called me up to the front to give me a prize. i grabbed for the chocolate, but the lady pulled my hand away and gave me a packet of those horrible bland milk biscuits that are usually only fed to children below the age of one. she said, 'oh no, you can't have the chocolates, they're for the little children.'
i was seven. i shall never dance again.
