Out of my depthAs 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?

Just because your out of your depth don't mean you have to let them knowBit of a long one, Football has always been a bit of a bugbear no matter how much i practice i still end being crap at it. One day on the way back into school after a crafty reefer break was called over by my form group because they were one kid down for some inter form football thing rather than concede they tell me to stand there and kick the ball to touch if it comes near me! So I stand there like a stoned cold teenager for 80min till my first touch the ball flies @ me I kick it in one direction it flies off my foot in a random direction and then straight into the goal (so random the keeper didn't see it coming!) might have been well out of my depth but still came out looking like David Beckham. Was a hero for weeks but SSHH don't tell any one what really happened!
