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.

Ahh rugby againRememebered another one....
Our "House" (I went to private school - well, it was a forces school so not posh in the slightest)....... Aaaaaanyhoooo - we were top at rugby that year - and I was a hooker at the time (progressed to the wing later) and my mate kept holding me in the scrum - ref wasn't interested as he was in the same house as my mate. Anyway I got fed up of this and ripped myself out of the scrum and unfortunately flailed round and punched my other mate in the knackers.... And I got carded for it too.....
Bitch
