When I was a kid, me and my beavers group got into the local paper because we did something.
I’ve got no idea what we did, but we got printed and as a 7 year old that was pretty huge.
Life never got better.
I got in the paper for googling “seven year old beavers”
Local paper, local tv news and radio 4 for organising a toad road crossing when the colony turned out to be the largest recorded in the UK one year.
Local tv when I was the pagan chaplain for some local prisons,
National tv news for a couple of Greenpeace protests.
My elbow featured on the cover of Time magazine for another protest once.
I appeared in some Portillo documentary or other, and briefly in a couple of episodes of Coast, all because of where I worked at the time.
Me, waaay back in 1976…
Me and some friends won first place in a fictional stock exchange competition which was held in our province for economics classes. About 20 years ago. We solely invested in tanks, firearms and christmas trees. Arrived high as kites to the award ceremony about one hour late. Needless to say our teacher wasn’t too happy with us. Our team’s name? Lords of destruction. News article and photo featured in the local newspapers.
Yes, for an educational achievement.
