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.

james tiger woodReminds me of a certain rugby match I had once.
In the great county Northamptonshire (Kettering to be precise), we had a game against Towcester. Me being the captain (and a prop the size of 3 houses to boot) thought it would be a walkover. It was, unless we count a tiny little thing called... a referee.
Also known in this game, as cunt.
Sent off a player of ours WITHOUT WARNING for punching (or as I saw it, taking a punch in the face).
Next incident. Me on their 22 running stright through their defense. Never before has anything like this been seen before in the world of rugby. Bouncing through tackles. The try line is in sight and the winning try is within my grasp! Only to be snatched away by referee who blows up for dangerous play! There was an injury (which I was running away from) and it was dangerous apparently (did I mention I was running away from it?) Despite the fact he played on when we had an injury. WTF!
We lost 24-21
Turned out the referee was a local of Towcester but he was qualified... so that's ok isn't it. Wanker
Length? They love it in the showers
