In return, we had to complete some sort of fitness exercise at the start of each lesson. Whether it was "the bleep test", or the one where you run round a 100m square for ten minutes, I hated it. That's when I started to drop out of P.E lessons more frequently.
What's the 'bleep test'?
P.E. was a subject where I always managed to get others in trouble. My school was notorious for being strict (still is I believe) so once you had your kit on, you had to go and sit quietly on the benches in the sports hall until the teacher came. While I was there, the sports hall had ropes which you could climb. They could also be used as make-shift swings when left unattended. Needless to say, as soon as I had gotten ready for P.E., I used to come running out of changing room and swing on the ropes. I used to encourage others to do they same after I had my go and they used to always get caught and be excluded from the lesson. The same thing used to happen every week - you'd think my encouragement would fall on deaf ears after a while but it never did.
