Who is Ben Foster and why does he love PNE?
“Ben Foster loves Preston North End“, “Ben Foster [heart] PNE,” “Ben Foster [this]” and “Ben Foster [that].
So state the toilet walls in several bars in Sanlitun. This raises for me questions that ranks up there with “Does life exist on other planets?”, “What really swims beneath the waves of Lake Khovsgol?” and “Why do I feel like having a breath mint every time I see the National Aquatics Center?”
Namely, “Who is this Ben, from whence comes his PNE love, and why is it being communicated above the urinals of our fair city?”

Jim,
I know Mr. Foster very well infact. I don’t think he is a PNE supporter!
GP,
OK, why is his name scribbled all over town in association with PNE? Do we need to start a counter-scribble movement?
Cheers, Boyce
I don’t know this Ben Foster, but I suspect he admires the flowing movements, and honest graft of England’s finest football club i.e. Preston North End.
It could be a new trend! similar to what is now called thirsty Thursday’s, once known as the new Friday.
Haha, unreal. I know the culprit responsible for the tagging and he is an avid PNE fan. I (Ben Foster) am not but happen to be born in Preston. I hope this clears up the mystery. Rickshaw Chad told me you were writing this piece.
@ Sam,
I thought England’s finest football club was Arsenal.
@ Ben,
Thanks for clearing that up. By the way, if you don’t cheer for Preston, then who do you cheer for?
@ GP,
Thirsty Thursdays? That’s so last week… haven’t you heard of Wasted Wednesdays?
Cheers, Boyce
Arsenal!!! Are you pulling my plonker? Does the prosaically named Emirates Stadium host the National Football museum? Can it claim to be the oldest football ground in the World? Can the Gunners boast our history, and status as the Mecca of World club football. No. That is why I, Ben Foster, supports the first League Champions of English football. Could the ‘faux Foster’ please stop misleading the good bloggers of Beijing. Boyce, to answer one of your other queries, I believe life does exist on Neptune.
haha!
Also of interest, if you look in the concrete around the manhole cover directly opposite the entrace to alpha, you will find clues to the culprit’s name and sexuality.
@ Boyce,
Oh no, I’m not falling for that one. The last thing I need is contradicting graffiti about me. Ben Foster cheers for Ben Foster
@ Doctor Ben,
As a North American, I didn’t realize that Arsenal was associated with plonker pulling. My apologies.
Manchester United, it is. I shall summon the PR powers that be to get the word out. Will also get our crack investigators out to check on the manhole cover in the Alfa vicinity (and then pack them off to Neptune- to check on life there).
Cheers, Boyce
@ Doctor Ben
I’m Ben and so is my wife
@ Ben,
Graffiti? Surely you jest. I’m talking of a full-scale print, radio and TV campaign that crosses all channels and market segments, and makes a grassroots movement such as that of Obama’s appear as kid’s play. Not only will it right the wrongs about what has been written about you, but also it will promote world peace, the Olympics spirit, and the kilt as the fashion choice of the mature male (I hope you are not camera shy because you are going to have to show a little leg).
Cheers, Boyce
I can reveal all about Ben Foster. I can confirm that Ben does indeed love PNE. however, PNE does not stand for Preston North End. PNE formally known as PONE stands for Pufters of Northern England. I’m glad Ben is still spreading pink pride all over the world
Sorry, Julien, going to have to give you a yellow card on that one. Ben clearly does not support PNE — he supports BF United. Glad we have this all cleared up.
Cheers, Boyce
