I once won a gas boiler from The Guardian. Tell us about times you've won, and the excellent and/or crappy prizes you've lifted.

...I met a couple of her church buddies for lunch. One of whom spent the whole hour berating me, including the immortal line (delivered complete with Wagging Finger of Truth) "You haven't done all you could to save your marriage, therefore God isn't going to bless your current situation!"
A couple of days later I got a phone call from a chap at Guitarist magazine, who said "Do you remember entering a competition for an ESP guitar? Well you've won! Where would you like it delivered?"
A couple more days later and I was the proud owner of one of these :)

Last time I entered a Total Guitar comp, I got a phone call a week or two later and almost wet my pants but all they wanted was a subscription renewal :( pissflaps.

*has no idea, but it's not a banjo . . . ergo . . . SHITE!

I strongly dislike Les Pauls and am thus dubious about anything the same shape

So nice in fact, that I bought another one - in purple.
I don't usually name my guitars, but this one is Jess

It's thinner and lighter than a Les Paul, with a slightly smaller neck and 24 frets. Generally more user-friendly on stage; easier top-fret access, less back-ache at the end of the gig :)

No idea whether this is like any of Prince's guitars or not, as I know nowt about guitars, but it looks like a lovely bit of instrument.
