Hi, I'm Ben.

I'm a heady mix of a serious responsible grown up man and a stupid man-baby idiot with delusions of grandeur.

I'm a big nerd, really into music, cooking, books, films and scifi. I hate/love running and generally love being outdoors.

I think the World Cup should be food-based. Hot dogs Vs Paella. Bacalhau com Natas Vs Fondue. Jollof Vs Fårikål. Chiles en Nogada Vs Greggs sausage roll. I will be the judge. I volunteer. I think I'm hungry. HERE COMES HARRY KANE WITH A CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA. Lovely. Let's watch that in replay. He's a national treasure. Straight past Mbappés moules frites. VAR calls cassoulet.

It has literally never even occurred to me to buy lunch out. To think that they've budgeted four thousand pounds of their salary on it is batshit to me. To a person on minimum wage that's over 16% of their salary. If you then removed travel costs that leaves a shade over 18k. Then energy, water, council tax, broadband and TV licence brings it down to under 13k. The average annual food costs for 2 people is 5k which brings it down to 7875, which means you'd need to find somewhere to live that costs £650 a month (less than half the average UK rental cost) then literally never go out or do anything. It's like me saying I've been buying a horse every morning to travel to and from work then just releasing it at the end of the day, but instead of 5 new horses a week I've decided to take the bus. Please shower me with praise for not purchasing approximately 253 new horses every year (average cost £4500 =£1,138,500).

Hay doods. If I forget to CW something that you're legitimately not keen on, it's absolutely 100% fine to remind me. I'm quite scattershot and often realise after, things like food or EC or alc or politics I've neglected to CW. It's never deliberate. I'd hate to think I'm ambushing your timeline with stuff that makes you feel bad. I will literally never think you're being a dick if you give me a lil dig about it. This space is for everyone. If I'm ever detracting from that, that's a me-problem, not a you-problem. X
