Gareth Hughes
Gareth Hughes aka Gareth The Sheep, Garth and Welsh
Gareth Hughes is a well known student, not least because of his top notch not-at-all-swotty grades at GCSE (9+A*'s) being put in the intelligently named "Pink Print". He resided in the tightly knit N form which split in the summer of 2006. He is/was a member of the prestigious N Crew.
Needless to say, he has a lot of friends throughout the year, but this was not always the case. An icon that the form S loved to hate in yrs 7-9, often being taunted for being Welsh, including a chant, "We hate the Welsh, especially Gaz" which was edited from a well known football song.
However we of N knew that it was because they largely feared him and the fury he used to unleash upon their form when playing any sport, but most memorably rugby. (bloody welsh egg chasers). One of Gaz's madder moments, in Year 10 inter-form rugby, clothes-lining Richard Flook and getting himself sent off, leaving N to go out in a narrow defeat. We still hold it against him to this day.
A keen dancer, Gaz has been known to strut his stuff in front of large audiences including "Morris Dancing" at Mr Morris' leaving assembly, and is participating in the Fashion Show 2006. I personally believe his dancing hobby is largely due to Lindsay Thornton, who he was in love with for a large amount of his high school life, and who is also a very keen dancer. He has been known to go out with other girls such as Lucy O'Gorman, clearly doing way too well for himself.
Well known by his friends for annoyingly stopping to talk to everyone, you can always rely on Gaz for a good chat, unless you are a dirty Chav, which he along with everyone else, despises.
He's got a bad back Gaz sustained a back injury which plagued him throughout year 11, in which time he was required to wear a corset-like torso cast to keep him from falling apart like Humpty Dumpty. He continued in routine to come up to the astro turf and sit and watch us play football at breaks-(Gaz has no life)-during which times the phrase "He's GOT A BAD BACK!!" was coined, as any time the ball went near him we all over-reacted as if he were a leper who could fall apart at any time. Also during these troublesome times for Gareth, many ignorant teachers rudely told him to tuck in his shirt, only to realise it was impossible for him with the cast on. I hope these teachers including Mrs Ashworth and Mr Haycocks felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.
Quotes
"I never said that!!"
"I'VE GOT A BAD BACK!!"
"I'm going daaaaaawn there"
"Johnny babes, chill out"
"John looks like a seargent"
"Sh*t, I've left my....." (disappears for ten minutes, and comes back from his form room, 20 yards away, with his possession - Gaz is renowned for taking ridiculous amounts of time to do anything)
"I've got a big 1" announced rather loudly to his year 12 spanish set during a timed essay & had mrs blow in stitches at the front of the room. He is still yet to prove whether he does actually have a big 1, which leads to only 1 conclusion
Gaz's Posse: The ultimately handsome Quinny, Calum, Johnny Babes, Martin, (who wants to be Gaz's nemesis in football, but ends up making a damn fool out of himself) and Ben Beard, who is probably Gaz's main rival for the most chilled out of the group. --Quinny 22:50, 20 October 2006 (GMT Standard Time)
