School Sports Day
At 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.

Sports.....
Softball.
Darren bought in a Yank Aluminium baseball bat.
Gavin (tallest spotty 'erbert in class) steps up all testosterone and confidence.
ball is tossed
Gavin swings...connects...slightly
Ball cannons off bat....
and smashes Gavins nose all over his face...
Makes a cool Ka-Chock! noise
Gavin starts to cry...and leaves pitch
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....
In a weird twist of fate, Darren is now my brother-in-law...
