I would have washed all the tea towels in the Domestic Science Room.....cleaned all the cookers.......stoked the boilers.......cleaned the toilets......... ANYTHING.

I was another that would have preferred almost anything rather than sports until one week after myself & a friend had 'forgotten' our P.E. kit for the third week running as well as the usual punishment of a jim shoe applied to a sensitive area of the body the P.E. teacher hit on a new idea to try to get us to remember our equipment, it was called
humilliation!
He arranged with the P.E. Mistress that we should be forced to play netball with the girls, well it didn't work after all we were thirteen/fourteen year old boys we thought we'd died and gone to heaven! all those girls running around in their short skirts.
Wow! thank YOU Sir!
Over the next few weeks more and more hormonally enhanced male teenagers developed bad memories just so we could play netball!
