Mike explains that to kick off the ‘Best Evers’ season, he has revisited a 2004 article in a pupil newspaper, which featured a double page spread of ‘Best Ever’ choices submitted by staff and pupils from across the school, including the following:

• Best Ever Pet – a fire salamander called Ivan
• Best Ever Goldfish – Bubbles
• Best Ever Hair Gel – DAX Wax
• Best Ever Skateboard Moves – Big Spin and Ollie
• Best Ever Theme Park Ride – Hulk Coaster
• Best Ever Bit of Grammar – Dangling Modifier
• Best Ever Car – Aston Martin DB4GT
• Best Ever Live Performance – ZZ Top in concert at the Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, in 1983
• Best Ever Piece of 19th Century Legislation – the 1802 Health and Morals of Apprentices Act

Almost twenty years on, this piece of pupil journalism still works and has also provided the inspiration for the inaugural ‘Worth a Minute’ podcast season, which is why it is Mike’s best ever ‘Best Evers’ article!
