For some they may have been the highlight of the school week, but all we remember is a never-ending series of punishments involving inappropriate nudity and climbing up ropes until you wet yourself.
Tell us about your PE lessons and the psychotics who taught them.

During my first few years of 'big' school we had a PE teacher called Mr Olgilvy (I think that's how you spell it). Anyway, he was a legendary bullshitter, much along the lines of;
"Well boys, when I was your age I used to run 5 miles and swim 100 lengths before breakfast..."
In our first ever PE lesson he gave us the customary tour of the changing rooms, insisting on aquainting us with the shower facilities. He encouraged us to bring in speedoes to wear in the shower because he didn't want to see our 'dirty tackle'. Get it? Hmm..
Whilst demonstrating a forwards roll during a gymnastics lesson (accompanied by his "When I were a lad..." crap) several packets of cigarettes fell out of his pocket, much to our amusement and his embarassment.
He had a heart attack a few years back and quit teaching. Not sure if he's still about. Shame. I kind of liked him.
