Winning
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.

Simon Mayo
A long long time ago Simon Mayo had the breakfast show on Radio 1. He had this sound-charades type quiz thing where you had to guess the name of a song. Lying in bed with my girlfriend I thought I knew the answer, but I had to go to work and would be in the car at the time to phone in. So I told my girlfriend and she rang.
When I got to work someone there had heard the breakfast show and asked if the winner of the quiz was my girlfriend, and sure enough it was! The prizes were crap though - a CD of christmas songs, some stickers, a Thunderbirds album for some reason, nothing memorable, other than a signed photo of Simon and his posse of Rod McKenzie and Dianne Oxberry. She had a great radio voice but when I saw the photo I realised why she was on the radio. Big thighs. I think she now does the weather on BBC North or something. Wish I could find that photo again.

With you on the Diane Oxberry thing.
She was pretty from the waist up. Not sure she does the weather up here though.

Aye, she does
She's on the BBC, 'North-West Tonight' or summat. She looks a bit raddled now.

She looked a bit raddled in my photo 20 years ago too
I've not been able to get the picture of her thighs out of mind though, since this QOTW reminded me
