Mr Ormerod

Mr Ormerod was a Physics teacher who left BRGS in the year 2005 for a position in another school. While in the school Mr Ormerod was famed for being the best chess player on the staff and his involvement with Chess Club. Over the years, Mr Ormerod achieved many a victory over the talents in school until he was defeated by Gareth Ashworth from the current upper sixth. Strangely enough, our dear chess-playing physics teacher chose to leave school for a demotion a mere few months after this event.

Quotes

• Grand Ohm: "Watts the unit of power? Possibly the best physics joke around!"

Aimie Rye: "What? I've never heard that!?" Grand Ohm: "Are you JOKING.... we say it EVERY WEEK!!" (Sighs exasperatedly and flings his arms into the air)

• "QUIET. That means now."

• "Right class, we're going to do an experiment to do with velocity..." (leaves the room... class frown and follow him out curiously.... find him stood on the other end of the balcony furiously lassooing a sixty foot piece of rope...)

• "JUDD! Stop swearing!"

• Ohm: "Today we are going to do an experiment on...

Al: "...cheese?" Ohm: "No alex. Not cheese."

• "JAMES! GET OUT" - said at least 6 times every lesson through year 10 and 11.

• Balloon Experiment: Ohm proceeds to rub two red balloons against his breasts whilst class is working on something completely different. Claims it is to find out about 'static'.

• Magic Orb Experiment: The Grand Ohm seems to have magical powers - he passes an electrically charged rod over a magic orb.. streaks of mini-lightning erupt between the rod and the orb's surface as the class gasp in shock and amazement. Ohm, smiling wizardly: "You like that, yeh?"

• Student: "Sir, when do we have you next?"

Ohm: "I'll just check.." Pulls out his planner.. a decaying black leather-bound book, probably furnished with human skin, covered in blobs of sinister looking ink.. Student: "Is that TOM RIDDLE'S Diary?"

• "Spinning paper.. spinning paper... spinning paper" (Stacey loves how he pronounces his 'P's)

• (To Amy): "When you have FINALLY stopped talking about make-up and hair and boys..."

Amy: "Sir thats WELL sexist!" Ohm: "WHAT did you say?!?"
