Ben Grows a Conscience: The Orange Rebellion of Dicey, Staircase 12
In the heart of Oxford, where history resonates through ancient corridors, one seemingly ordinary mouse found himself embroiled in a fervent movement known as "Just Stop Oil" (JSO). The tale of Ben, a resident of Dicey, Staircase 12, is not just one of individual transformation but an astounding journey into climate activism that left the JSO members astounded and, at times, terrified.
Ben had arrived at the Boathouse BBQ (this year with record numbers of signups!). He had spent the morning staring at an ice cube testing his laser eyes. It was a unforeseeable success! So he didn't hesitate when someone asked him to man the BBQ...
It had just turned 1.52 pm, the sun was bearing down uncharacteristically hot for this time of year on Balliol College. Ben knew he had 8 minutes to get to the boathouse. Something crazy must have happened earlier that day. I imagine a piano or something fell on Ben's head from the sky. Because, he knew the science pointed to an 8.2% accident rate increase, yet despite this looming forwarning he decided to hop on a Voi.

Ben apparently has an IQ closely comparable to that of Einstein, or so he says. Yet when confronted with the technological supremacy that is Eduroam he falters time and time again and seemingly has the IQ of a belligerent toddler. He ends up being unable to even read the simplest instructions! One can assume this is caused by a mind-numbing fear at anything more technologically advanced than a wheel given he studies Ancient History. However most of you freshers do not have this excuse!!!
It's really not hard, so I can't really fathom why no one has done it!!!

Dear Incoming Freshers,
Welcome to the hallowed halls of Balliol College, a place of learning, camaraderie, and intellectual growth. As you embark on this exciting journey, we have a clarion call to issue, a rallying cry that concerns each and every one of us: Join the fight against the insidious influence of Facebook.
In the spirit of unity and resolve, we implore you to heed our call to action, for this battle is yours as much as it is ours. We must unite to confront a modern-day menace that threatens the very essence of our society.
Ben has had an exciting holiday and I'm excited to share some of his more exotic destinations with you!!
Ben continues to cheat death - this week directly attracting the ire of Poseidon with his prowess in the Octopush Cuppers. Ben fought hard. Alongside the waterborne divisions of Balliol's Armies he waddled steadfastly in his flippers to the edge of Iffley pool. Rattling his 9 inch long hockey stick at the enemy fear flooded the enemies eyes and they trembled before the might of Balliol.
This modern fairytale started on the 11th February 2003. The three wise men had been following the star high in the sky for a period of three days, when they came upon the wonderful Liverpool. Unfortunately, they did not quite make it to the beautiful Liverpool University Hospital to see the birth of Ben. Having seen the general despair of all living in the North they decided that God must have been mistaken and turned back Eastward.
