Okay, we're into the big leagues now.
Another Mr D, again a cool guy, who was a history teacher. He was Irish, so among his outfits was a matching set of BRIGHT green socks and blazer which invariably clashed with the rest of his outfit. He was about eight feet tall and of very strange proportions, almost as if he had gigantism. His hands were enormous.

I noticed one day that his shirt had ripped and was held together with sticky tape. This would just be amusing evidence of an emergency repair, except that he wore the same taped-up shirt all the time without replacing it or fixing it properly.

He used to sing communist anthems at the top of his voice by way of illustration, and apparently in sixth form classes he used to teach whole lessons while lying on his desk and staring at the ceiling.
