Ben favourite songs









Videos Ben posted over the years







Speeches from fellow posters

..just before he went to NZ, I sent Ben 100 random questions to answer and even though he had been out celebrating/saying goodbye to friends and came home very late, very drunk and probably a bit high, he still replied and answered all of them and a lot of them with serious answers as well...he spent a whole Sunday morning helping me to design my first profile wall and we talked about poetry and writing a lot..he showed me a few lines of a novel he hoped to write while he was travelling, I don’t know if he ever did..but yeah, ain’t no turtle like a ukturtle....

I first became aware of TiBB games by following Ben's Elimination game and thoroughly enjoyed it. I then played the Mole with Ben and he drove me mad in the potato task to the point where I wanted to throttle him- I don't think I've ever encountered someone as competitive as Ben - one of his most endearing and annoying qualities if I'm honest (particularly if you are in a game with him - the boy is ruthless)! His tales of travelling are interesting - even if they do make me a bit jealous.

Ben has been in the past the traveller of tibb, it has always been interesting and also educational to learn of his travels, where he has been and what he got up to.
His humour is a tonic when he is on form and also it is quite funny when you realise he is getting irritated at something too, the way he races in and can put down in an instant.
An ex mod who was a really good and fair one, in many ways supportive without being intrusive.
He has made me pull back a couple of occasions and with his humour and identifying with how I was likely feeling at the time,defused the situation.
Probaably my favourite reporting from him on his travels was when he was in New Zealand,even though he didn't get round to answering my question I put to him.
He is however one of the good guys.

Ben, This is almost your life

Ben was one of the first people I remember from when I joined TiBB back in 2011. At that time he was known as UKTurtle, I didn't really know what was going on as he was in New Zealand and some people commented on his presence on the forum even though there had been a big leaving party, and he still worked as a mod. It soon emerged Ben's leaving party was the stuff of legends, due to him not doing the one thing most people do when they have a leaving party - leave! Ben , when he is not indulging in knitting potatoes and being a poet (who knew!) does the occasional bit of travelling , and to his credit despite moving around a lot, he always has a job which is no mean feat in the current climate.

At some point over the last three years Ben stepped down as Mod, however he continues to be as annoying as ever He has reinvented himself during that period from UK Turtle, to Ben to his newest reincarnation Benjamin, however changing his name cannot change what he is which is a rather sweet guy (most of the time )!

Congratulations Ben enjoy your evening.

Kate



From Saph:
I remember when me and Ben were young spirited kids, running through the tall corn fields on a bright mid-summers day then as we got older we started experimenting with hard drugs, but after my OD we both decided to choose the path of God. We were very devout, Ben even became a Monk for a month or two. Then we decided that the path of God wasn't the right one for us after I went through my lesbian phase with my girlfriend Chaz. Ben was best man/bridesmaid at our wedding, but then my former sisters from the nunnery performed an exorcism to rid me of my homosexual sins and I decided not to pursue with the wedding, Ben was distraught. After that we trained for NASA but got bored so joined tibb and now we worship Orangu

Livia
Ben's man of the world. Everyone on the forum knows that. He's been about a bit, his travels have taken him all over the place. I know he's off to some lovely places this year to celebrate his birthday, so there's something I'd like to give him that he'll always be able to use :




All he needs now is an Aston Martin, a Walther PPK and he's good to go... Liv x

"Ben, Ben, Ben! I don't even know where to start with you, you are one of the funniest, most caring and welcoming people I know.
When I revived myself on TiBB last summer, you welcomed me back and helped me in my transition.
When I did coach trip, you helped me a lot and let me into your clique (before we betrayed you, but oh well )
I hope you've enjoyed this presentation as it shows how popular you are and how many people's lives you've made better by just being you,
Thanks for helping us out with this task Big Ben (your pornstar name btw) and I hope you like this
Mitchell (you know I'm serious when I use my real name )

From me, Vanessa
Hi Ben! I just wanted to say it has been a pleasure to do this task. You were the first person i had in mind, because you have such an interesting life.
I love listening to your stories after you come back from one of your trips. Australia and New Zeland look really amazing. Love all the pictures!
Your heart is in the right place and you never fail to make me laugh.
I consider you a good friend and i hope you like our tribute to you.

My thoughts on this task

This ones a really hard decision as to who the best team was during the task, both teams done amazing jobs but Vanessa really stands out as putting in a huge amount of effort from as soon as the task began, both teams picked good forum members that gave them a wealth of information to work with.

Elite I would say worked the best together as a full team, I'm not too keen on the logo this time round, just looks like an altered version of one of the forum theme logos? but I think that was the plan although I do think it would have been better to come up with their own original design. I love the personal touch that was added like the hand written paragraphs and Jakes drawing of Greg and I also like the way it was all presented to the forum

Enterprise hasnt worked great as a team this time round, I know it sometimes can't be helped due to rl commitments and stuff but Vanessa carried this team and I dread to think where they would be without her, but they have come up with a really nicely done presentation, mostly like I mentioned thanks to Vanessa, again I like the personal touch of the handwritten notes and Jack also done a good job on the cover.

Stand out players during this task definitely Vanessa and also think Nat put in a good amount of effort too.
