    I won skiing goggles and I don't ski. Thought I was entering for sunglasses! They were really smart though and my nephew loves them.

    I won a Frisbee from some shoe company a couple of years ago and the kids went out into the garden to play with it.....first throw and it flew over the fence and clocked the neighbour on his bald head! He wasn't happy as it sliced a chunk out off his scalp and he still has a scar now! My eldest son said 'well mam, if he had hair....' cute-blue-bird-laughing-smiley-emoticon.gif So we lost a sweet neighbour and gained a grumpy git with a chip on his shoulder (and head!)!

    Same here, I've had a few dodgy runners up prizes that I'd never have entered for had they been the "main prize" :rotfl:
