I actually won that warm can of Heineken, which I gave to Bald Student for winning the bet, after pummeling him in one of those Gladiators styles games.

Or as those of us with a B in leaving cert irish say, "Bual t� an troid ach bhi an gaire n�os deire ag an mac l�inn gan gruaig nuair a buail s� an cogadh!".

Just remembered, in 1978 or 79 I won through to an RTE2 phone-in Status Quo competition. My name wasn't read out in the list of winners but RTE still sent me two in thye post??

Tickets were to a Status Quo competition with a load of support bands - Judas Priest, and a few others.

That time Quo were a nifty real rock heavy boogie band before they jumped on the pop rock bandwagon and even the then Quo slaggers were quite surprised by how good they were.

When In school I won �100 (not punts, real pounds) predicting the score of an upcoming Ireland v Wales eggball match - teacher who sold me the ticket was astonished that a follower of The(only true) WORLD game would be (a) interested in buying a ticket and (b) be any way close to predicting the score. I think it was in 1969 or 70 so 100 quid (linked to sterling) was BIG then.
It was a total quess TBH but eggball then, for a very short while, had a live and let live attitude towards footie and who wouldn't support one's local clubs.

I've won other things in fairground draws, raffles, etc etc.

It's Bhuaigh not Buail. Also the last laugh thing is awful Irish! Sub B standard I would say.

Forgot that I also won a Bangles album on 2FM by accident....I rang in to play a request on the "Hotline" and I said for them to play anything they liked for my mate...but must have been the accent coz the woman taking the call thought I said "The Future's too bright" by the Pyscadellic Furs (?) and that was the song that you had to choose to win the prize! Still have it signed by Tony Fenton!

What stands out from my past is a 'Winners' Rugby plaque in '93 in a team I was only in for half a game... my defo main passion (soccer).. a year later, which I won 'Runners Up' plaque which killed me... lost 1-0 in the final. I felt I was a winner of that too though as I missed an open net in the dyin minutes! Top scorer of the team too... :o
