Hair dye disaster.
In a vain attempt in my youth to look a little less like the school hamster I decided that my ginger hair needed to be dyed away and hidden from the world. So I bleached it. I did it my self and it took fine and went a rather brilliant shade of white (can you have a shade of white?). Looking back now I looked like a startled, and slightly more rotund, Rhydian Roberts.

Shortly after moving up here to Sheffield I decided the way to show my patriotism during the upcoming football based (I can't remember which one) was to dye a red cross onto the white giving me a rather striking St George's Cross permanantly dyed into my hair.

Some come the big day the red dye was purchased. In my infinite wisdom I decided I wouldn't get someone to help me and keep it a surprise for my Uni mates.

It went a bit wrong. I re-bleached my hair so as to have a bright white base upon which to fly my follicle based flag. I missed my aim and ended up with a rather poor effort so decided the best thing to do was to wash out the red dye quickly. So dived head first into the shower and proceeded to wash my hair. The water ran red for a while then after a few minutes ran clear. I jumped out the shower dried off my hair and buggered off down to the Students Union to embark upon alcoholic obliteration.

What I hadn't done was thought to check my hair before leaving the house. This is how when I arrived at the union I was greeted by the kind of shock that is normally resevered for Kentucky State Prisoners. If I had of thought to check before my haste to leave the house I would have realised that because of the freshly dyed blonde hair the red had taken almost immediately so even though I jumped into the shower and washed out all the excess dye I didn't do it quickly enough. I now looked like I had been picked up and dumped headfirst into a candy floss machine.

Barbie Pink hair really doesn't do my complexion much good. I shaved my head the next day and spent the next three weeks looking like a baked bean.

I've stayed Ginger ever since. Even that is more dignified than pink.
