Hedgecutter Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I came second place in a Spanish holiday resort talent show contest when I was young with a decent joke. Can't remember the act exactly, but I know it was better than my 5yo brother who won it with the following joke: Why did the man cross the road? He fell down the drain. It still makes f*** all sense, and after 30 years I'm not over this miscarriage of justice. Having the 'awww factor' to sway the judges isn't talent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eindhovendee Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Probably should have checked the amount before messaging the boss and telling him that I had an email saying I had won the lottery so he could ram the job up his arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 "No idle talk" (the only Hearts fanzine worth reading ..) organised a Scottish fanzine 5 a side competition. I edited an unsuccessful Juniors fanzine and got an invite. So a team consisting of me, three pals and a pal's girlfriend went along to the five a side place at Sighthill expecting to play a game, get knocked out, and enjoy a few pints. No other cnuts turned up All Scotland fanzine 5 a side tournament final No Idle Talk 22 One Man and his Dog 0.

Craig fae the Vale Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I won tickets to Peter Frampton at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on a Planet Rock radio competition in 2011. Took my dad and had a great time, he put on a great show. Also in 2011 won tickets to Tinie Tempah at the SECC on some website or another. Wasn't really my kind of music bt it was an enjoyable night. Apparantly 2011 was a good year for me winning concert tickets, I hadn't realised they were so close together until I looked the dates up there! Won a few bits and bobs over the years, but nothing overly substantial. Still enter competitions fairly regualrly, someone has to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 When I was 6 i found a bottle top, that had a tiger on it. Looked very impressive. I took it home and was told by my 2 older sisters that I had won the jackpot... That day, I washed, hair cut (oldest sister), put on my best clothes, they even had my out the back garden waving at a helicopter flying over the house. Then sat, and sat... all fucking day. b*****ds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) When I was 14 or 15 I won a competition run by a national newspaper. The prize was £10,000. Unfortunately 32 other people also won so only ended up with £303.03 Edited November 6, 2023 by Swarley Cannae count 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once met the provost of Perth and Sandy Clarke as part of a Tay FM even at the sick kid's ward but not sure if that counts.

RuMoore Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I have experienced varied levels of success from winning the star letter in the esteemed publication The Funday Times for a hilarious whimsical poem about the characters (won some batman toys that I later sold for a decent whack to some incel at a car boot sale) to winning the Scottish regions parliamentary press gallery competition for an essay about climate change (won an invite to 10 downing Street, tour of the gaff and met the PM) Sadly these bursts of creative output are mitigated by the time I flicked onto one of those quiz channels and didn't really get the concept that everybody is meant to get the answer. (I won f**k all other than being grounded for racking up a £30 charge to the landline) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menzel Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I was on Eggheads with a team from my uni as one of the women in our department was big into TV quizzes. Took them to two tiebreakers in the final before they whacked out the "in which English county is this country house" question to a team of Scots. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that about now is the right time to sell it. Twenty years from now, nobody will care. Just like Liverpool league winners one wouldn't have fetched much ten years ago. 2 hours ago, philpy said: I won a £20 Virgin megastore Loved that place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
