I won tickets to the ideal home show on GWR.

It was embarassing as I had to answer the phone and say "Hi I'm Peter's Red Nose Winner" and then the listeners proceeded to hear me telling Peter Heaton Jones that I was driving and not using a hands free.

Oooh, I forgot, I won millions in the Canadian national lottery the same week as some Nigerian wanted to give me millions to help his exiled family out.

Both cheques seem to be lost in the post. Does that make me the luckiest person in the world, or unluckiest?

I won a free night at Blunsdon House.

And back in '93 I won a signed ball and squad list for the Wales squad for the '94 WC qualifiers (it's got the likes of Ryan Giggs, Neville Southall, Dean Saunder, Ian Rush and Paul Bodin). As a six year old I was dead chuffed. Today's it's rotting away in a box somewhere.

I won an all expenses paid trip to the carribean for being a websites millionth vistor. I phoned the US company, because i decided, worth a pop? (This was 1998 by the way!)

Anyway, this stupid patronising cow spent 20 odd minutes explaining how i have a month long curise and loads of other bollocks all for £600. I explained it's not free, some how she disagreed with me, i'd had enough and hung up.

On a more serious note, when i was a kid, we went skiing and one of our lift passes won us an all expenses paid trip back the following year in 5 star accommodation. It was ace.

I have strange memories though, as they had a massive health spar thing in the hotel, which you were only allowed in if nude. So me and my sisters, probably about 10 years old used this health spar for a few hours with loads of adults. It scarred me. Although only because i didn't know a woman's box could be that massive and hairy and tit's that flappy. I think it's an Austrian thing.
