Out of my depth
As a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

At the opening party of Cardiff's Toucan club
I was introduced to a hairy man in a vest. He mentioned he was in a band, and I basically said "really? Oh, I'm in a band too, we're really good..." and drunkenly banged on for ages about my band.
As I staggered away, I realised it was Griff from the Super Furries and I'd just spent several minutes banging on about my student band.
