Have you ever won a competition?

I came second in a Lego buidling competition in Eason's back when I was a kiddywinky...

I'm concentrating more on Duplo these days though...

In Primary School, we (myself and three other girls) won the All Ireland Cadburys table quiz. The prize for that was a three day trip to England, where we went shopping, to Stratford Upon Avon and then a VIP tour around the Cadbury Factory in Bournville, Birmingham. We also got some funky trophies and goody bags with lots of Cadburys merchandise. Oh, and we each won 200 bars of chocolate.

I came third in the Cadbury's Primary School Table Quiz when I was twelve. We got a thirty quid voucher for Golden Discs and a big box full of chocolate bards.

Also when I was twelve I won a Discman on Scratch Saturday on Network 2. This was 1991 so it was a pretty big prize for the time.

Won a weekend in Milan from some pasta company about four years ago.

Oh yeah! I won a spellathon too when I was in 6th class! I got a trophy and £20 (a lot in those days).

I was awful at spelling in primary school because I never bothered paying much attention to it but the day we were having the team trials it all clicked and I started to remeber the spellings of words I didn't even know I knew!

Wow, such heady days.

I won an Oxford English Dictionary on RTÉ TV Quizshow Talkabout. But actually that was the prize you got when you lost... the whole show was rigged though... the people who did win were actors.

I got the host of the Show, Alan Hughes, to sign the dictionary for me... wow...

I won a Goldstar 3DO with Fifa Soccer and Need for Speed. Ah, the original Need for Speed, best game ever, if you're into em (which I was when I was fourteen)

When I was about 8/9 there was a competition outside St Stephen's Green to taste the difference between pepsi and coke, everyone who got it right got a scratchcard and on most of the scratchcards you'd win a bottle of Coke but on mine it said I'd won a sony walkman! *Le Gasp*

:D:D

£50 on a scratchcard
£50 on Prize Bonds
Exciting, eh?

I try and enter every free contest I can.

DEmeant0r · 27-11-2004 03:45AM

I won a colouring competition when I was 6 or so... I think I won a big colouring set, heh...

Won a sports bag on Radio Nova many, many years ago. Even the mention of Radio Nova should give some indication of how long a decent win is overdue. I'll settle for the lotto by way of compensation

I recently won a national poetry competition... a silver plate with my name engraved on it, the poem printed and €30s worth of book vouchers... wooo!!! Lol... well it got me a few issues of PCFormat in Easons anyways...

a few years ago I worked in a travel agents and won a competition for highest sales of 'sandals' holidays in Ireland and I 'won' a 4 day trip to Jamaica!!

I worked bloody hard though over there and it sounds more impressive than it actually was!!

Oh and I won a few years later 2 free flights to America with Continental airlines. Since leaving the travel business I have won nothing....ever...

the moral of the story is????

Canis Lupus · 27-11-2004 11:26AM
