Bedwetter Gets It

If Ben is RMS’ alter ego then I am disappointed he’s such a massive baby!

Positives: well written and well acted. It really did feel like an audio diary and I did enjoy it.

Negatives: Yes we were all on unfamiliar ground back in March 2020 but for what presumably was a chap in his 20s to be quite so petrified of Covid especially once we got past the end of the “3 weeks to flatten the curve” was dispiriting. The only person with a bit of perspective was Ben’s dad who got short shrift. As for clapping “our NHS”, I’m so glad I never engaged in that nauseating North Korean charade. Perhaps it was all the pan banging which infuriated the ghosties? Any way Ben was such a wet lettuce I wasn’t too upset by his demise.
