Ben.
There are a couple of things you must know about Ben first of all.
-
He complained once that the shower was to far for him to go to in the mornings
(go back and check out the distances involved here.)
-
If that wasn't bad enough, it is alleged that on his accommodation form,
he requested that he be close to a shower for religious reasons,
the cheeky bugger. Now, it's not a subject me and Ben have discussed, but
I figure that he doesn't have a religious denomination which requires him
to be clean (good job really, given the state of the shower - see The
Utility Section). The only religion I think he could be is Rastafarian
(heh heh), and I could be wrong, but there's nothing to do with regular
cleansing in their religious practices.
So what conclusions can we come to? That he is cunning,
and wily, and has done something that we all wish we'd thought of, or quite
simply that he's LAZY. The photograph above shows Ben in his room, having
decided the toilet was too far away. Make your own minds up.
But saying that, he does have a fantastic sense of
syncopation and rhythm. Last term we were subjected to this on a regular
basis, as he would whack out innovative sounds and stylees on the top of
his TV. It was a treat and an innovation like nothing we've seen since
Gene Krupa.
He's a big football fan, and supports Slough FC.
Every so often he can be seen standing on top of his car, trying to grab
hold of buses as they go past a la Marty Mcfly in Back to the
Future, as he has welded all the doors shut, probably also for religious
reasons. He calls this "Yum-surfing". Like a lot of his life, what this
means is a mystery.
Back, I say!
