This is my first real attempt of being part of one of the most talked about genres of the web - the blog. What people have been speaking about for years, where the conspiracy theories begin, where those in-the-know share all, where the rumour mill starts churning.

Allow me to introduce myself: I am Ben, I live in rainy Oldland Common, between 20 to an hour from Bristol (depending on traffic), I am married with a lovely 7 year old daughter, and would love to share - on a non-specific basis - what is going on in my head that I hope someone else wants to hear.

Did I mention that I am a Christian as well? Please don't think this is a back-door evangelism thing - I just want to tell it as it is.

I love football and most sports too (which helps, what with being a man and all).

So, there you have it. I'll have a manifesto to share or something at some point (see what inspires me!)

I hope to here from you - whether you (dis)like what I am writing or know someone who says it better.

Speak to you all soon

Ben
