Ben's fancy pants homepage thing.

Me

Thanks for finding my homepage - I've spent farrr too much time on this page it's become my pet project and I've been planning it's construction better than most of my universityassignments so WHEN (Not IF) you sign the guestbook don't dare write anything other than - 'God damn Ben. That's a mighty fine home page you've got there' or else I'll kick your ass! ..now stop reading this and check it out!

Ignore the annoying pop-up advert thingie
THEN just to be more irritating it appears over there instead!


EVERYBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE WONDER THAT IS ME.

About me

Ben Smith. I'm 22, 6ft and 80kg.

Resitting 2nd Year Computer Science at UMIST.

"Students who want to be snapped up by employers should head for UMIST"
(Times Educational Supplement)

I was living in the Student Village, Manchester City Centre last year while I studied but this year I'm studying from home. My family lives half an hour outside Manchester City Centre in Leigh , which is just outside Salford where I was born.
This picture of my house was sent to me by the Leigh homepage after I found it on there looking for a link for this page. My house is the second one in from the left. A white semi. It's next to the canal as you can see from the picture and a short walk down the canal bank leads to farmers fields, I really like where my family(pictures) lives. More pictures of my family. EVEN MORE pictures of my family!
I spent most of my time last year at my girlfriends house - Roma Malik.

I'm into reality martial arts -
I've studyed Hung Kuen Kung fu for 3 years
done Chinese Kick Boxing for two years
& I've been learning Budo with Chris Bacon for two years now.
I've recently started training under Master A's Thai Boxing
and Danny Rushton's Vale Tudo
and I've attended seminars by both Marco Ruas and Carley Gracie.
I've tried a lot of other martial arts as well including Karate when I was a kid and have been to a few of the Universities Tae Kwon Doe classes.

My opinion on Violence

I'm also into white water kayaking, general outdoors activites like absailing and river running which involves absailing/swimming/wading down rivers with lots of waterfalls. Hopefully I'll be able to get some photos of beautiful me next time I go but until then here's some photos of two fat guys and the salami-leg.
I started kayaking years ago but only started going on a regular basis when my Dad took over the position of Chairman of Wigan Canoe Club. The most recent kayaking I have done was South Alps, France last month with a group of friends. I've scanned a few of the photos and I've got a few links to some nice sites on the net of rivers we paddled while we were over there. Alps 1999.

I did my first parachute jump years ago but since I live in Manchester and getting up to Grange-over-sands has been a problem my total jump count is five. I'm trying to get a freefall done but I keep ballsing up my static line jumps and falling out of the sky like a sack of potatoes.

Well, that's the end of the 'About Me' section. That's kind of all the stuff that I'd tell people if I was going to tell them about myself.

Cheers for looking at my website.

Ben.
