A kid, a couple of years our junior, who used to make the beeping noise of a train door opening, thinking it made him popular. A large group would gather round him and chant ‘Make the train noise’ repeatedly until he began beeping, then a hushed silence would descend until he had finished. It would then go one of two ways - we would make him do it again or we would disperse whispering ’that kid’s a right wierdo’. It was all very surreal.

While Train Boy’s impression was surreal, “Smelly” John Stephenson’s car alarm impression was merely shrill - very realistic indeed.

I can’t remember whether his car alarm impression was a response to getting beaten up, or whether he was beaten up because the impression was so annoying.

Anyway, just imagine one boy getting punched in the face, and whooping repetetively.

Quite what posessed Andrew Meadon to get up in front of 700 boys and act out scenes from Independence Day and Ace Ventura for our “talent” show, I do not know. What I do know was that they all seemed to involve the NHS-specced, dirty-coated spacker flailing around the stage like a Welsh whirling dervish, shouting barely comprehensible Will Smith-icisms…

Saying that, his veloceraptor impression was truly top drawer. Blue ribbon stuff….
