    Yesterday I had a WEM to say I have won a bean..... with my name written on the side..... then varnished
  • Last week I won one probiotic tablet.

    It came in a Jiffy bag with a large letter stamp and a compliments slip saying 'Congratulations you are a lucky winner!' :o

    Compared to that, your bean sounds quite exciting Tubbss!

    these 'worst prizes' stories are too funny:rotfl: (no offense to the 'winners')
    As a newbie i've not experienced any winning prizes yet, good or bad, but also as a newbie i still have hopes of a big win(:j) but will probably get these type of 'worst' wins :D but a wins a win, right????? :wink:

    The 'Poncho' I won from the St Helier comp. It was a black bin liner with a hood.

  • I once won a 'designer poncho'. It was like the ones you buy at Alton Towers but not as cool... ;)

    I once won a day's paintballing ... for one person! Needless to say I didn't ever go along and shoot at myself!
