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.

Short circuitIn 1988, when I was seven, me and my five year-old brother won a competition on Radio Bristol. The question was 'Who was Han Solo's co-pilot'.
We didn't know we had won, as we hardly ever listened to the radio - the tv was broken on that day, until we received a big parcel. I was all ready for some Star Wars stuff, but instead got promotional stuff for the recently released film 'Short Circuit 2'.
We go a t-shirt each and weird mobile (like the things you hang over a child's cot).
I still haven't seen the film...
