VI Lenin reports from his extensive world tour.

Thursday, May 08, 2003

Marlon put through a call from "the head of Jeremy Bentham" this morning - spooky. I thought that this "Jeremy Bentham" was some kind of organisation, and that the guy who was calling was the president, or whatever.

Turns out that this Bentham dude was never buried either. And it actually was his head that was calling.

Jezza's body is in a glass case in a corridor in London's UCL school (near the more famous "Habitat" store). But the head on the body is a fake - the real one is in a safe in another building. Apparently.

Anyway, Bentham tells me he's thinking of reforming the corpse, and going back on the road - and what do I think about the idea?

I tell him that his utilitarian philosophy sounds like a blast, and that with the right kind of marketing he might be able to draw the crowds. Especially if he puts some stuff about being married to Amanda Holden into the act.

I'm thinking of getting him to try out as my support. He could come on stage with his head under his arm. That would be neat - and tremendously modernistical.
