So last night I was at this gamer convention thing, and my friend asked if I could help out on the door, so i grabbed a staff shirt and started taking names and stamping hands. After the crowd slowed down I noticed this collection box for Children in Need sitting in a corner with no money in it, and nobody asking anyone for donations, so I decided to work the crowd a bit. I went round every single person there and collected well over £100 in about half an hour.

So I go back to the door and put the collection box down, feeling pretty good, and literally 2 minutes later the raffle gets drawn, and guess what? I win! A couple of games consoles, some games, a big box of lego, all this geeky stuff. So I head up to the stage to a round of applause and when I get there I realize I am still wearing a staff shirt... doh! I had to give all that shit back. Even though I wasn't really part of the club running the thing. Karma owes me some toys.

damn, what kind of game consoles? We talking about 360 and PS3?

If so, sounds like you lost out on over a $1000 worth of stuff.

A DS definately, and I think a 360, but I only had my hands on it for ten seconds. It was a big pile of boxes.
