I sprayed my hair bright green behind the bookshelves in the school library, thinking that it would add an air of authenticity to my lunchtime performance of Nooligan by Roger McGough. I was 13. The reading had been arranged by my English teacher, Mrs Lenkiewicz who was stereotypically Dutch and who I liked a lot. I remember Bettina Berman, who was in the year above me, reciting the lyrics to Train of Thought by A-ha. Then it was over and I was out in the playground with bright green hair. I didn't think it through. Mrs Oakman went berserk.
In the toilet that was used by the school secretaries, I attempted to rinse it out half a can of cheap hair dye, purchased from That's Bizarre (opposite what was then Golden Disc; later HMV) before double-French.

Love that Thomas Denny window. What a great artist to enjoy. Beautiful post.
My mission for myself this year is to see as many of his windows as possible. I really adore him.
