Which comps make you smile (or have)?

I seem to remember there was a competition to win pack or box of envelopes, which made me laugh at the time.

The current competition to make me smile is VIP parking at a shopping centre in Nottingham (Lace shopping mall I think)
Any that have made you smile then?

    There seems to be a few of them about!

    The one to win a divorce has to be the one for me. It was great that the person who won it really needed it but I couldn't help but think it was a bit of a weird comp. Especially as it was hosted on a website that encouraged cheating!
    Thanks to all posters :A

    It's parking in the Lace Market :) near one of the shopping centres.

    But when you see how much it costs to park in Nottingham city centre every day, winning parking for a week is a great deal. :D

    ooh happy thread :j

    the one that made me smile today is the Many Faces of Potatoes Recipe Book :D
    often dig up spuds when they're ready & some of them are funny shapes/markings & sizes
    so had thoughts of them all :D

    Lol I saw one the other day for a femmecup on the board also I won a competition for a mystery toy a few years back and when it arrived it was just the hoop from a keyring, emailed to ask if it had broke off and they replied that it was a new invisible keychain! the perfect toy for the child with everything ???? lol
    Starting afresh - comping as much as poss!

    Hoping for: some beauty goods, clothes, amazon vouchers, anime, manga, wardrobe, fridge freezer, laptop, an ipad, vouchers for next, exercise goods, a uk break and a wee hol somewhere nice!
    Wishing all a little luck:beer:

    There was a comp a week or two ago to win a box of chocolate bum holes! Now I love chocolate but gave that one a swerve, it did make me laugh though! :rotfl:

    Not wishing to blow my own trumpet (but I did post it and had to do a double take when I found it) but the 'Win a (ahem) paddle' comp made me chuckle - not exactly what I thought it was going to be (plus weeowens had been on the 'pop' that night I think (funny thread)) :beer:
