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.

PE Teachers are twats and deserve everything they get. Fact.Most PE teachers are sadicious bastards who victimize the fat kids and love the sporty ones. Ours was a bit different.
He regarded anyone that could put one foot in front of the other with suspicion and hatred, and would dole out arbitrary punishments to anyone who was better at sport than he was. He only really liked the kind of people that seems to inhabit this board (no offence intended).
I was quite good at sport, and thus the subject of much of his pettiness. I even got a detention for tripping over my laces, another for getting a basketball in the face, and my personal favourite, kicking a ball too hard at the fat goalie.
It was quite a posh and strict school, so I ignored his petulance. Until the day when the Masters played the 1st XV at rugby. He ended up at the bottom of a ruck (like a scrum but more informal), and I was stood up in the middle of it looking down as I drove forward.
He had a beard.
I stamped on it.
It felt so good, I kind of lost it a little and did a Michael Flatley number on the rest of him. Didn't get told off or anything. He left me alone after that.
Length? I imagine you'll find that that was his problem.
