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?

A couple of years backI was out drinking with a bunch of guys who were all various ex-militairy types from South Africa; Hard as fucking nails and good fun to go out with. Apparently there is some emnity between special forces across the world and whilst hanging out in a bar in herts we encountered some local militairy types. Words were exchanged after a few too many drinks and the next thing I know people are shouting, hurling chairs and striking fighting poses. I, for one, have got pritty much fuck all to do with the militairy and tried to disappear into the background as blood was spilled and bones were broken.
Scared? Fucking too right.
