Nicolas Boardman
Form: 08S
Form Captain: Year 8, Year 9 (reluctantly)
Nic is an 'excellent singer' and has a 'great voice' according to any music teacher he has performed for/to/in front of. Nic is a non-graded guitar player but is often keen to show off his "skills" before his GCSE Music class. He formerly performed Rythmn Guitar, Bass and Lead Vocals for the Year 9 musical futures band, 'Satsumas, Live Wasp and Nightmares' (previously known as 'Maroon Six', 'Rob & Dave' and 'Nic's Group'). Other members included Cahal Tinman (Lead Guitar/Bass/Backing Vocals), Josh Mitchell (Piano/Keyboard), Alex Woodfield (Piano/Keyboard), Elliot Fosong (Drums/'Humming Along') and James Ashworth (Anything that was going, usually the remaining Guitar part or Bass). The band covered Clint Eastwood (Gorillaz), Wisemen (James Blunt), All Day and All of the Night (Kinks), Use Somebody (Kings of Leon), Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes), Rearrange (Miles Kane, never performed), Fire (Kasabian, never performed) and Suck It and See (Arctic Monkeys, never finished or performed). In December 2011, the band partially reformed to perform the christmas song, All I Want For Christmas is You with Cal Tinman and Josh Mitchell. The new members were Alex Wardlow (Drums), Stefan Petrycki (Clarinet) and Jake Sutcliffe (Back-Up Guitar). This was yet another song that went unperformed.
Nic is an avid fan of the bands, Kasabian, The Vaccines and Arctic Monkeys and LOVES Miles Kane to bits! He often sings along to their music in form time and in his AS level Critical Thinking class, much to the dismay of his friends and Mrs Taylor.
Nic is good friends with Bruce Lee's twin brother, Cal Tinman. Cal, refuses to accept that he 'looks a bit Chinese' and is often teased about this by Nic himself, Toby Haworth and Usman Khan in his English class. Even Mr Ventress himself states that Cal has 'that oriental look about' him.
Nic has dreadfully long dark blonde hair. He often expresses his wishes to have it cut and styled like his hero, Alex Turner's, who currently sports a 'Teddy boy' look (August 2011 - present). His other heroes are Sergio Lorenzo Pizzorno (of Kasabian), Noel Gallagher (of Oasis and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds), Miles Kane (of The Rascals, The Little Flames and The Last Shadow Puppets) and 'Legendary' film director, Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), all of which he does not stop going on about!
According to Nic, his favourite films are Submarine (dir. by Richard Ayoade), Kill List (dir. by Ben Wheatley), Attack the Block (dir. by Joe 'Cornballs' Cornish) and ALL of Edgar Wright's films (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World). He is an avid film fan and is an aspiring filmmaker. He wishes to skip university in order to attend a film school or an arts college to study film, though he would be interested in attending Cambridge University, purely to join the 'Footlights'.
Nic often chews during class, to the dismay of nearly ALL of his teachers.
Nic often states he is HETEROSEXUAL, though he does touch people quite a lot, which he says he does because he 'enjoys the uncomfort it gives people'.
Nic is an avid fan of the game he invented with Gabrielle Royle during one of their late night texting sessions called, 'Say Pizza!'. The idea of the game is, you say, 'Say Pizza!' to anybody and then they are supposed exclaim (or reply if playing online/via text message) 'Pizza!'.
Nic has been on all the Reports numerous times, though he is 'not a naughty boy' (according to Mr Clarke and Mrs Young). He is just 'rubbish' at homework and his uniform 'always falls out'.
According to Bronagh Wyatt, Nic is "awesome".
Nic was a witness to the famous James Ashworth head stabbing incident, committed by Alex Wardlow.
