At last! The recognition I deserve

I was interviewed by a journalist from the Guardian last night about my paragliding hobby. It was a phone interview - she does a small weekly column on people with ordinary jobs but extraordinary pastimes.I really enjoyed the experience - I don't often get the chance to talk at length about one of my obsessions with someone who genuinely wants to hear my answers! Most people nod politely for a few minutes then change the subject. It will probably go out in the Monday Guardian Media section in two or three weeks time. I will keep you posted....

Wow! The Guardian! Nice work. I did my first interview this week (via email), it was a very strange experience.

<<...people with ordinary jobs but extraordinary pastimes>> and I thought, at last The Guardian will be covering boardgames properly. Congrats anyway

She was journalist. Her only interest in your answers was that they fill column inches.
