School Sports DayAt some point in the distant past, someone at my school had built a large concrete tank behind the sheds and called it a swimming pool. Proud of this, they had a "Swimming Sports Day" in which everyone had to participate, even those who couldn't swim (they got to walk across the shallow end of the tank).
This would probably have been OK if the pool hadn't turned a deep opaque green the night before due to lack of maintainance. Even the school sports stars didn't want to go near the gloopy mess in the pool. We were practically pushed in. I'm sure some of the younger kids never surfaced again and the non-swimmers looked petrified.
Tell us your sports day horrors.

One sports dayI was watching my friend (who shall remain nameless as she doesn't talk to me any more - she had red hair and big barnies) run the 1500 - Well, when I say run - a spas* could have run better. I caught her at the end of her run and gave her a big congratulation hug - Well, her chest pressed against me was nice at any rate. Cue a bollocking from the evil maths teacher.
Bitch (the maths teacher)
* Yes, I'm that old that spas is still regarded as an insult - no apologies.
PS - Wish I hadn't upset the nameless friend - rearrange these letters to spell her name "Renate"
Oh. Wait......
