First Ben-der of the season

I guess this could be a cautionary tale of some sort. 'If you're going to get pissed and pass out in the loo of your staff accommodation make sure that nobody finds you hugging the toilet and empties two cans of shaving gel over your head and then rub it in until you have a massive foam-afro. Only then to pass out in the shower for an hour and once again to be woken by your roommates with a digital camera'.
Ben (L'equipe) started his season off with a bang. On the opening night of Kalico, Ben and some of his co-workers imbibed rather a large quantity of alcohol. Where as most people use a pint/demi glass, the bar staff use a hollow mannequins leg, with a hole in one of the toes, as an efficient delivery system. When filled with champagne or Smirnoff black it proves quite a test even for the hardiest of alcoholics.
Now there have been many rumours that, as well as the regurgitation of his evening meal, Ben also left a yellow stain on some of the upholstery in the apartment. I must stress that these are unfounded and Ben does NOT have any problem with incontinence and has full control over this bladder.
