Things you dont see anymore

In high school my mate broke his arm on one of those vaulting horses. A few weeks later he was stood on a bench and fainted during a class that was showing the insides of a rabbit. I think it was the blood when the teacher first cut into the rabbit. Kids today don't know they're born.

I could suggest the fainting might have been caused by PTSD due to being high up on a piece of wooden furniture again but ...
... splitting hares.

Good grief....

God, I was useless at that.

Hounds and gyms with climbing ropes are not natural bedfellows. Just a thought like.

School gyms = smelly, sweaty, stifling = feckin’’ dire

Exercise is an outdoor activity

Very much so.

I still get a not entirely welcome Proustian moment when I hear the squeak of a trainer on a shiny floor.

Does that include the brutal cross country run for PE in the dead of winter!??

No that fecker is most definitely excluded

Some of the lads hid in a tunnel not far out of the school and rejoined later as the field returned. I completed in my own good time although I did finish mid field in my last year of competing in this pointless torture.

All that said I recall a post from Spoonz many years ago where he said he was an aficionado and it helped with his fitness

Always found that the cross country run and either a No6 ciggie or B&H ciggie never mixed!

I made the mistake of getting changed early, waiting in the dressing room and decided to head out 10 minutes early. I knew the course and of course I was first in. I was picked for the following weekends cross country team. Then I had to fess up to what I had done!

Hmmmmm. Definitely preferred to be indoors in winter than freezing and getting white fingers holding a hockey stick or playing rugby *shivers*

We took a football with us on cross country. A saunter down to Wonford playing fields. An enjoyable kick about. Then a saunter back when it was time. A current Trust Board member was also a participant.
