wasnt it horrible at school when the p.e teacher used to pick 2 popular kids to pick teams at school they would always "bagsie! their best mate first and always argued about the last to be picked i.e the fat kid and the one with glasses

Worryingly I played Mary a few times as well ND... 'virgin' on the ridiculous these days I suspect.

I used to hate PE and would generally have an excuse to get out of it although I was pretty good at basketball and netball. I'm just not that interested in team sports unless I'm watching them.

You always got put in defence if you werent good at football or unpopular. Goalkeeper was a priveleged position from what I recall.

I remember the last year of junior school when they did 'Oliver Twist' I was one of about 3 kids in the whole year that wasnt involved and we had to do normal lessons whilst everyone else 'practised' :-(

awwww

I was a hard nut at school but good at sport. I wasnt girly enough for the princesses who used to want to pick their barbie- alike friends but the rest of us used to beat them at sport because they couldnt run or hit a ball without having a diva strop ;)

[steg]

i was always good at haggis bashing and represented the school every year at the games

I was the fat one with glasses.
But even so I don't think I was ever last to be picked. Never in the first dozen though.

I wore glasses and was always the last to be picked. Nobody wanted to dance with me either. Maybe that was just what it was like at all girls schools.
