Quotes

"sir: Were going to watch a harry potter! student: sir is it harry potter and the chamber of sex toys? sir: yes, yes, that one!"

"Ok Ok I'm not here I'm on Mars"

"Right I've made a mental note of who's here" (everyone marked present even if absent)

"Right... All here" (to room with three people)

(Before tutorial) "You're leaving are you? No. Sit down, we're doing something this week. Oh....erm... off you go"

"You're on a beach with the sun beating down. Not too hot, mind. Just nice and comfortable."

"Hmm... yes... right... OK..."

"Bone away now." (Strange mispronunciation of 'phone')

Student: "Sir, say something funny!"

Mr Overend: (With chav-esque 'innit' hand gesture) "Ho ho ho! sick, man!"

"OK, Susan... are those the words of Harper Lee? I think not."

Talking of taboo language: "Fuck is no more a swear-word than, say, chair." Then added, "it's just how we associate words with certain things." [and, to be honest, many people would agree with him]

(walking out doors of room 10) EDDIE! (wordlessly walks back in)

To horrified pupil after getting a bit too into one of his lessons: Oh I'm sorry...I appear to spitting all over you!

"Take it eeeeeesay!"

SHOUTS: "You will not make me mad!" (Whilst staring, with a vein popping out of his head, and counting to ten)

"a ROSE by any other name... so if i called a rose a... a..... BOLGERJUJADA!!" - whole class jumps to attention, worried that sir is having a seizure....

"Emma Bosher, stop looking at that plant!"

"What do you think you're doing? Mkaing bloody gestures behind my back... i'm trying to teach a lesson... GET ON WITH YOUR WORK!"

"OK so for Thursday yeah yeah...." ... "Sir we don't have you on Thursday" ... "Yeah ok then so for Thursday's lesson" ... "Sir we don't have you... can we hand it in on Friday?" ... "Ok yeah so Thursday it is."

Mr O pops his head round door of computer room into libary "Right yeah so we're getting on with our course work yeah?" Student:Yeah! (Whilst playing scrabble or other such games) Mr o, "Ok that's fantastic. So we're getting on with our coursework yeah!"

"yeah...yeh...yeahh"

"Yeah, yeah, ok..... stay with the lesson please..." *one hand on his chin in a thinking position, the other attempting to control the class by conducting his index and little finger at people to silence them, roving around the pupils as they work* "Yeh, yeh come on now, stay with it ok? Are we working, Susan? I think not.. Sshhhhhhh, ssshhhhhhhhh.. ok yeh get on with your work.. Ok Carly it's not that funny.. THURSDAY, yeh THURSDAY ok?"

AWESOME THINGS THAT MR OVEREND HAS DONE

Thrown an MP£ player across room 10, after countless times of music suddenly blaring out from Sheepy's phone, and having already confiscated the mp3 off me, and then me standing up and calling him gay, to which he replies,

     "GAY!!! YOU'RE THE ONES WHO'RE BEING GAY!!!" 

Dropped Sheepy's BRAND NEW phone out of the window after many similar instances of playing music. Yelled at Danny Wilkin...something about going to beat him up.... Been teacher of a class from Hell in 2005/6,who made him do all these things. AND MORE, SO MUCH MORE THAT I CANT BEGIN TO WRITE IT.Link titlehttp://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewThread&entryID=17392057&groupID=102981236&adTopicID=31&Mytoken=535D5167-5643-434A-BD7B7400834D76C223475189

Further things he has done

Whilst having the projector on, a student (from the class from hell 05-06, as mentioned above) typed in 'wanker' on the username so the whole class started laughing. Mr O turned around just as the person was trying to delete it...not surprisingly he wasnt too pleased, yet took the accusation quite well by going red in the face and screaming "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME!!!!"

(Same class) Different student, being quite bored with whatever task had been set, realised how Mr O's name rhymed with other words, and started saying 'Bend Overend, bend Overend haha..', to which Mr O came over, and quietly began to talk to her, before getting exceedingly angry; 'I won't have my name being made fun of from people like YOU!' *scrunches up paper that student has absent-mindedly been shredding, and throws it at her'
