our school was a rugby school, and if you didn't
want to play rugby you were, erm, one of the
outsiders.  Or hockey if you were a girl (isn't
thatright caz? if you're still on the list...).
Naturally, i was an outsider.  We had to do
x-country in PE though and i hated it because i
always was frail and fey.  Then when i was around
14 i started cycling a lot, and i actually got
pretty fit.  Anyway, I used to have PE with all
the rugby team, and then  we'd be doing sprints
and stuff and i was beating them easily, and doing
high jump, again beating them easily, or
hurdles... anything really.  They were all a bit
put out i think.  Anyway, when it came to getting
our school reports, all the other kids who played
rugby got 'excellent' for their PE report and i
only ever got 'satisfactory', even though i was
faster and fitter than most of them.  I kinda
laughed but it still made me mad.

erm, you didn't really want to know all that did
you?
