School Sports DayAt some point in the distant past, someone at my school had built a large concrete tank behind the sheds and called it a swimming pool. Proud of this, they had a "Swimming Sports Day" in which everyone had to participate, even those who couldn't swim (they got to walk across the shallow end of the tank).
This would probably have been OK if the pool hadn't turned a deep opaque green the night before due to lack of maintainance. Even the school sports stars didn't want to go near the gloopy mess in the pool. We were practically pushed in. I'm sure some of the younger kids never surfaced again and the non-swimmers looked petrified.
Tell us your sports day horrors.

School sportswere ace. Got you fit, instilled a sense of competition and desire to succeed, gave a chance to experience the high of victory and the low of defeat, and the chance to kick whoever had pissed you off this week. What more could you ask?
There are far too many fat computer geeks on here who need some fresh air and less knowledge or interest in MSN (whatever that may be).
"Oh, I was so fit but I didn't like to compete because it's discriminatory towards fat/lazy/talentless bastards like me who'd rather eat pies and learn to write solely in numbers and abbreviations than get some shorts on" you all say.
Wankers!
