Bobby Thompson

Bobby Thompson

Bobby Thompson is a pupil at BRGS currently the form captain of 8R, who is working towards the goal of world domination and attaining the title "Merit Hunter Extraordinaire". Also known as the Merit Man and Bob. Famous for becoming the only Y7 pupil in 2006/7 to gain the diamond award without the help of Mrs. Beckett, Bobby has enjoyed his (although short at the moment) school life, and has made quite a lot of friends, the most well-known being Owain Dawson and Joe Holdsworth-Miller. During some unlucky break times, he is frequently asked who he fancies, but has never given up... yet. Bobby recently has been reciting a cake mix, the ingredients of which can be found here: Bobby's Cake Mix

Obsession with Cubes and Cake

Bobby seems to be outright obsessed with his 'Weighted Companion Cube', and has been reported to have been seen hugging a calculator, later claiming it was his "little cube buddy". This totally terrifies nearly everybody in his form, 8R, and leads people to the conclusion that he has serious mental problems. This assumption has remained just that... For the moment. 8R certainly hopes that he finds his cube, as apparently 'she' took it, and 'she' is watching you. Nobody quite knows who or what she is, which is even more worrying. More than this however, Bobby occasionally breaks into tears over how he loves his beautiful cube, and how they would eat cake all day long. 8R is currently trying to find out what exactly this cube is, who 'she' is, and where the cube went, mainly because they all get frequent headaches due to the incessant ramblings that can frequently be heard from the cupboard in S3 about cubes.

The Fantastic 3

Bobby's 2 best friends, Joseph Holdsworth-Miller and Owain Dawson are both in the same form as him. Joseph has gained a reputation of being his 'lacky' but is nonetheless who he claims to be one of the "funniest guys I've ever met" (this being a compliment). Owain is what he calls a "bubbly and downright hilarious person", despite the fact he has a seemingly unstoppable obsession with penguins, which fits quite nicely with Bobby's fanatical behaviour regarding cubes.

Traits

Bobby has a tendency to ask people in his form to pet his belly, then proceeding to shout at them until they either punch him (which sends him into laughing hysterics) or pet him. He also occasionally jumps at people that annoy him, furiously snarling for about 5 seconds and running off, often chased. Bobby takes pride in his unusual talent of hissing as loudly as he can, which many people compare to a pterodactyl. There are other wierd traits that many people in his form are very confused about, such as singing a high pitched song about being still alive and reciting a cake mix in a very drab voice, telling people to include things such as sediment shaped sediment, many fish shaped garnishings, rhubarb (lots of different types) and electric needle injectors. 8R worries for his sanity, and that is all that shall be said.

His "real" best friends...

Not only does Bobby occasionally remark about loving cake and cubes, he loves guinea pigs more than it is sanitary or indeed sane to. In one German lesson, he shouted MEERSCHWEINCHEN (the german for guinea pig) 12 times, nearly resulting in a red card but instead recieving a peculiar look from Mr. Ward. He has 2 guinea pigs:

• Cupcake: A very mysterious pig in that nobody knows anything about her breed. Bobby purchased her pregnant, which later resulted in Callan Lofthouse getting 2 of the babies.
• Pippin: An unbelievably fat and unintelligent pig, that is nigh on impossible for Bobby to get out of her cage due to the fact that when anybody so much as touches her, she wheeps and runs in circles. Very peculiar indeed.

Other Stuff

Bobby greatly enjoys art and science, and his favourite teacher is Mr Bretherton. He most definitely enjoys computer games, but only those that really include more shooting than thinking. "The gorier the better" he says. He is forced to play the guitar by the most evil of institutes on this planet - the music department... It also appears that Mrs Stanley has some kind of instant hatred towards him, but the reasons behind this are unknown. Tends to fall over once a week and not be able to get up due to his massive bag ( has been compared to a turtle.) Once shouted YES at the top of his voice because the class would miss P.E. on the following day. This was generally a bad idea, as his form tutor was present and she is a P.E. teacher...

Oh, and in addition to all of this - don't make Bobby mad. He doesnt like it, and he knows people. Or in his case cubes.

Bobby's well educated and somewhat cube-based take on life

After such a long title, you may be wondering what this page is going to follow up with. This is how Bobby sees people through his 'robotic scanner' eyes.

• Joseph: I think it's a puppy...
• Owain: Ah, the Owain hamster, a wonderful product of nature, storing food in it's pockets for later comsumption.
• Aaron: He has a broken string. (A reference to his painfully out of tune singing voice)
• Michael: Euston, we have a problem.
• Callan: RUN FER COVER!!!
• Saim: Hard, mainly because I have to strain to see him...
• Kieran: WHOEVER IS GIVING HIM THIS SUGAR SHOULD BE HUNG, DRAWN AND QUATERED!
• Evie: How can I overcome an obstacle so INQUISITIVE!?
