IVE BEEN FRAMED

I remember it now....over the weekend I had the joy of finding out that I am still the laughing stock of high school, even though I left there 15 years ago.
I cant remeber who it was but on Saturday night someone said they saw me on telly. I thought they were referring to the local news or my Big Breakfast appearance but no.

Do you remember the milk cup? It was a school athletic competition that was regional then national. A school entered a team and each team member did a track and a field event and cored points. It was quite a big deal. We made it to the final and I got to meet Linford Christie and not Fatima Whitbread...the other one, Tessa something. It was filmed and shown on Channel 4.

I was the second best at discus at our school. Kathryn Quinn was the best. She was probably the best in England let alone our school and then it was me. I was still good, I threw about 34 metres on a good day, Kathryn did something ridiculous like 38. So I was in the team for that. My second event, the field one was the 100m. I wasnt fast but cos I was good at the discus they had to fit me in somewhere. The girl in our team that ran the 100m for her first event was camera shy and refused to do the A team run so went in the B team one leaving me to do the A team run, in running knickers against English champion Katherine Merry on Channel 4. I came last by about 4 seconds. It was my most embarrasing moment ever.

It seems the PE teacher at school still shows the video for a laugh. This was the tv appearance he was referring to.

That is so unfair.
