I have a couple of gripes...
Knock out:
Once when we were playing basketball, someone, never did find out who, decided to trip me as I was running resulting in me hitting the gym wall head first and being knocked out cold. I came round to find myself lying on a bench in the changing room covered in blood and vomit. The P.E. teacher had carried me out of the gym then got on with the game! Only after the lesson had finished did he take me to the sick room. One of the ladies from the admin office took one look at me and called for an ambulance. I was kept in hospital for a couple of nights for observation as apparently a head injury can be quite serious. Who'd a thunk it? Not Mr P.E. teacher that's for sure.

Cricket:
I love cricket but was never given a chance to play at school. The first P.E. lesson of summer term, us first years were invited to bowl a ball at a gym horse positioned end on to us at the other end of the hall. The teacher stood by taking notes. It transpired that all of the boys that hit the target would get to play cricket for the next 5 years whilst those who missed, like me, got to play rounders or go cross-country running. The school's loss I feel as I've subsequently taught myself to bowl like Shane Warne against my back gate. Well, a bit like him.
