Have you ever won anything?

[Rich1878]

I won an England shirt signed by Gary Neville, from Nickelodeon, back in 1996 along with a crate of Coca-Cola

I wore it whilst helping my mate paint his mums shed. Got gloss all over it

Have you ever won anything Dan? I hear no one ask.

Once on new year's eve I won the ingredients for a cooked breakfast.

In a pub and they bring it out. A big hamper with meat and all kinds in it that needed lashing in a fridge. At like half 10 at night.

Yorkshire folk for you.

Did you eat it?

A video game competition in the early 90s.

Like you were the best at playing a video game? Or you won a video game in an otherwise unrelated competition?

Don’t swan in here with your ACTUAL achievements and not bother dropping the context.

Hopefully it didn’t spoil the taste

Mate?

This is what you get in your wholesome threads when you close down The Arena. Crying shame.

It was for a Nintendo game called StarWing (it was called Star Fox outside the UK) , I got the most points in the Liverpool region, name was mentioned on the list with others around the country on Teletext and I got some free stuff from Nintendo, the game, certificate, posters, cap etc

Bloody hell, that’s a genuine achievement. Well done, mate!

You still handy at the auld games, or was that your peak?

I won a raffle years ago in The Lamb, Picton High Street. 24 cans of Carling. Not sure if that counts as a win

 

[Kurt.]

Not really a win exactly… but I got a boobie prize of a free 20 years subscription to an Everton fan forum … few years to go

I was well into them as a kid, used to get them imported from USA/Japan too.

These days I still play them but just for a laugh I like RPGs and third person action games mostly . I play online sometimes but prefer co-op/team based stuff. It’s finding the time to be honest mate.
