    from Wiki

    Bennett often scandalized society with his flamboyant and sometimes erratic behavior. In 1877, he left New York for Europe after an incident that ended his engagement to socialite Caroline May. According to various accounts, he arrived late and drunk to a party at the May family mansion, then urinated into a fireplace (some say grand piano) in full view of his hosts.[1][15][16][17]

    Bennett's controversial reputation is thought to have inspired, in Britain, the phrase "Gordon Bennett!" as an expression of incredulity.

    Quite a career Among other things Bennet funded Stanley's expedition to find Livingstone.

    Thanks Dogmeat. But since when has urinating in a fireplace (or grand piano) been frowned upon?
    I think the behaviour of the Australian version was by far the worst.

    @Pepe Victorians...

    I do know from personal experience that Dutch Police don't like being pissed on from (literally) a great height.
