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!
