Because the original post got eaten by the server, and the man himself is in Spain drinking Cruzcampo with a pinata or something, and this is important, dammit.

4:30pm The London Pub (Upper Woburn Place)

6:00pm The Jeremy Bentham (University Street)
7:00pm The Angel (Behind Centre Point)

7. SPECIAL CELEBRITY GUEST!!!

it's going to be a good one, i can feel it already. i still haven't quite worked out what my strategy is to avoid getting hammered, though.

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 11:58 (twenty years ago)

please note all timings are approximate, anyone intending to turn up between 5 and 8 is advised to contact one of the ~~alcoholics~~ people doing the whole day to check on pub location. if you don't think you have anyone's number, email me and i'll send you mine, cos i'm nice like that ;)

Hurrah for pubs!

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 12:07 (twenty years ago)

well, i'm happy to get drunk, just not as drunk as i did last year (when the head of steam started rotating around me during the top 100 films). i suspect that either starting late or drinking halves may be involved :-(

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 12:08 (twenty years ago)

also (as i'm bored at work), those fancyapint links in full:

3:30pm The White Hart (Drury Lane)
4:30pm The London Pub (Upper Woburn Place) (is not on FAP, however, this review is almost entirely wrong, honest...)
5:15pm The Marlborough Arms (Torrington Place)
6:00pm The Jeremy Bentham (University Street)
7:00pm The Angel (Behind Centre Point)
8:00pm The Princess Louise (New Oxford Street)

Who is Jeremy Bentham?

I am thrilled at the prospect of adults deliberately walking through the British Museum in a state of drunkeness.

I used to have your number, Carsmile, but now I haven't. I have got Tim's, if he is going. Perhaps he will be in zone 7.

The Budd Report press conference is very dull.

Er, the Lousy is in no way located on New Oxford Street. JSL.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 12:32 (twenty years ago)

That diagram is a remarkably similar shape to Birmingham New Street...

i've no idea where the hell I'm going to be on the 29th. I'm crossing my fingers that I can be there, but I suspect my budget will be stretching to a J20 followed by the occasional tap water.

i'd missed that the lousy should be on HIGH HOLBORN, but the star and the link are right :)

Puddin' i still have your number so i shall send you a txt saying "ello bumface" and it'll be from me and then you'll have my number again, although, yes tim will be with us.

http://www.iep.utm.edu/b/bentham.htm

Jeremy Bentham was an English philosopher and political radical. Although he never practiced, he spent most of his life critiquing the existing law and strongly advocating legal reform. Bentham is largely associated with his moral philosophy, especially his principle of Utilitarianism which evaluates actions based upon the greatest happiness for all. He maintained that putting this principle into consistent practice would provide justification for social, political, and legal institutions. While Bentham's influence was minor during his life, his impact was greater in later years as his ideas were carried on by followers such as John Stuart Mill and John Austin

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:00 (twenty years ago)

more famously though:

At his death in London, on June 6, 1832, Bentham left literally tens of thousands of manuscript pages--some of which was work only sketched out, but all of which he hoped would be prepared for publication. He also left a large estate, which was used to finance the newly-established University College, London (for those individuals excluded from university education--i.e., non-conformists, Catholics and Jews), and his cadaver, per his instructions, was dissected, embalmed, dressed, and placed in a chair, and to this day resides in a cabinet in a corridor of the main building of University College.

eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:01 (twenty years ago)

I walk past him quite often (I work for UCL, for those who don't know). I actually work almost opposite the Marlborough, pub 3 on the alleged star, so you can look forward to the excitement of my pointing and saying "I work right over there, you know." Starry used to work across the road from me, but she has now moved a few hundred yards - not, as far as I can tell, specifically to get further away from me (that was just a bonus).

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:22 (twenty years ago)

I say, you chaps, I have frightfully good wheeze for a christmas prank. Let's break into that rotten UCL, have off with their embalmed philosopher and take him around London town.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:25 (twenty years ago)

Can't we have *one* FAP that doesn't end with us stealing a corpse?

My mum claims that my dad kidnapped Jeremy Bentham in his 70s student days. He was president of the Goldsmith's Union and it was a rival college thing. UCL got their own back by kidnapping him in return, and charging my mum a ransom which subsequently went towards the union (or so they say).

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:32 (twenty years ago)

Thank you, Carsmile. I wasn't expecting the answer to be half as interesting as that. I shall have a half of embalming fluid in his memory. What does he look like, Martin?

My dad used to wee across the canal. It was a competition, to see who could wee across the canal.

― Puddin'Head Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:36 (twenty years ago)

His head is no longer displayed with his body though, last I knew it was sitting in the records management storage room, after having been a postgrad's project to conserve it, as the embalming etc. wasn't too successful with the head.

He's quite plump, and has period clothes on, which is interesting. he has longish white hair too, though i imagine it won't be on his real head, but it's on the fake head.

― Puddin'Head Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 14:17 (twenty years ago)

maybe they've got a few heads and they rotate them to provide interest?

I shall be joining later - I had originally taken half a day off for this, but as it's not starting until 3.30 I'll join in when i finish work at 4.30. Or having looked at the plan maybe I'll have to work a bit later and miss out the london pub, what a shame....

― Vicky (Vicky), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 14:24 (twenty years ago)

aw poor old london pub...

...it's not *that* bad, bless it.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 14:32 (twenty years ago)

Oh god, this really is going to happen. My mum and my brother will be coming with me. We need to think of some sort of plan of distraction to get my mum to go home before everyone gets too drunk, yet somehow I can carry on drinking... oh dear. At least I will have the protection of friends and family through the EEZOHAD of Bloomsbury. I might have to take the long way around or duck out of the London Pub (honestly, it's crap!) to avoid Russel Square and Southampton Row, thus sparing me from having to point and say "I used to live there... boo hoo hoo hoo hoo etc." but maybe it would be good to show my mum where I used to live and then if she fancied she could go inside and beat up "The Cad" (as she calls him) with an umbrella.

I know some of you are looking forward to meeting my family. OK, one of you. ;-) There are no horses in Bloomsbury. And I'm sorry, no hounds, either. Actually, wait, no, there might be in the British Museum, though probably mummified. Jeremy Bentham's mummified hound. What am I on about? God, what a hangover.

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 15:13 (twenty years ago)

Damn. If the Top 100 is lyrics I may have to resist citing one of my favourite opening couplets ever, in deference to Kate's family: "The trouble with your brother / He's always sleeping with your mother."

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 16:36 (twenty years ago)

can someone enlighten me to the special architectual interest of The London Pub?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 16:43 (twenty years ago)

all will be revealed on the day ken.

martin that's nothing compared to my favourite opening couplet ;)

not that lyrics has been agreed on, could be anything...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 16:47 (twenty years ago)

are we running a book on who tries to get off with members of Kate's family?

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 08:59 (twenty years ago)

You need to stop this London Pub hate, people. Crap pubs are part of the warp and weft of this event. The rich tapestry of the pub crawl needs its manky threadbare bits. Kate, tell your relatives its "local colour".

After seeing the picture, I think that is a BIG FAT LIE about my dad stealing Jeremy Bentham, and intend to confront my mum over this one on Christmas day.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:05 (twenty years ago)

london pub is *certainly* no worse than jd's effing sports bar...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:11 (twenty years ago)

They used to get Bentham out for a dinner once a year IIRC. We (Kings College) were going to capture JB once, but nothing happened. I assume the case is locked so you'd have to cause damage to get him out.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:11 (twenty years ago)

haha I attend/have attended two colleges who have at one time or another been accused of the 'arch-rival, head-stealer' thing. I like Bentham most for his Panopticon.

I maybe coming in to work on the day and will get away at an uncertain time, but a time to be entirely determined by me. I don't want to miss the Jeremy Bentham.

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:33 (twenty years ago)

I hope the US and Australasian Ilxors are reading this thread. Come to London! Where we celebrate our rich history by sitting round the dinner table with 200 year old embalmed corpses!

Can we have a mid-crawl excursion to see JB or is it going to be impossible to get into UCL?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:37 (twenty years ago)

It's worth noting that there is a large bust of Jeremy himself upstairs in the Jeremy Bentham. The bad news is that it looks like a large bust of Tim Rice.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:41 (twenty years ago)

yay! more drinks. i'm not going to be able to make it until the last stop, probably, but i figure that's when things will be most interesting.

ps- tim, there's a railway pub about fifteen ft from the finsbury park station. have you been?

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago)

hey lauren, how was Our Disco in the end?

Another addition to my 'Things That Make Tim H De-Lurk' project!:

2) Busts

I should have guessed the Jeremy Bentham would have an upstairs. Where on earth do the staff live in London pubs?

Mrs PJM might make an appearance at this, so behave.

This would be a good time to tell the good people of London ILX that I am getting a digital camera for Christmas.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 14:36 (twenty years ago)

Digital cameras have NO PLACE in the pub.

Lauren: it's on my list but I haven't yet darkened its doors. I have a certain level of the phear.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 14:38 (twenty years ago)

But... but... but... Tim, you be hating on my favourite Railway Pub in my neck of the woods! Fie, fie, you lie! OK, it's better in the summer when you can sit outside and watch the trains go by. But still.

Shall I get my mum to post to ILX again? She's sitting right next to me in the web cafe.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 30 December 2004 15:46 (twenty years ago)

Arriving at the Jeremy Bentham last night was like reaching the promised land. One room upstairs with no one else in it and exactly the right amount of seating for a big FAP. No wonder we didn't finish the pub crawl.

I was amazed at how long I lasted, booze-wise. 3.30pm right up until the Spanish Bar. Only Kate matched me, and she went out for food midway through.

Nice to meet Abby and Aaron, and see The Lex again. Crikey you were a mess, boy ;)

Now I'm going to attempt to get those photos up. I have no idea how to do this, so it could be a while.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 30 December 2004 15:50 (twenty years ago)

Technically that's 'rhumble', actually. Otherwise popular American boxing announcer Michael Buffer will sue you.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Thursday, 30 December 2004 16:47 (twenty years ago)

Hot damn was that fun. You guys all rock too much.

I did get my hat back, thanks, though my vanity still hasn't recovered having realised The Lex looks better in it than me. :(

Oh dear lord. Still slightly hungover two days later. And yes, I win the longevity award for drinking from 3pm until Spain closed because I managed to carry on drinking pints even while a boy with much more sense than I insisted on putting food into me to delay the inevitable Countdown To Crankiness. Which means that we completed the star by accident.

What lovely pictures. Magnus looks like he's died and gone to ~~Spain~~ I mean heaven.

My brother sends his apologies for not lasting the full evening, but despite his giant stature, he is actually a lightweight.

William - keep the hair. Everyone else - lose the hair.

I wish I'd been at this. Next FAP when I'm not at the theatre please!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 31 December 2004 11:56 (twenty years ago)

Oh yes, and BTW, William, another vote for keeping the hair. But you probably could have guessed that already.

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Friday, 31 December 2004 12:03 (twenty years ago)

Does Abby have more hair than everyone else put together? Obviously there are some of us making very little contribution to the total, such as me, Tim and Toby, though he was trying, with the beard. Sorry not to have really spoken to Abby, but I hope her first FAP isn't her last.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 31 December 2004 13:08 (twenty years ago)

Having just run into Tom outside my parish, does he wear that outfit EVERY DAY like a cartoon character come to life?

also, WE - ARE - YOUR FRIENDS

Well, seeing as I didn't make it, does this still hold true?

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Friday, 31 December 2004 15:06 (twenty years ago)

William should so keep his hair.

Haha, when I woke up at about 10.30 next day I turned on my phone to get an alert, as I had for some reason put a note in my Calendar "More rakish and it would b a shed". Who said this to me???

I suspect what Andrew said about leaving his hat in the White Hart may be true - I'm pretty sure he wasn't wearing a hat when I spoke to him en route to the British Museum.
