Would a mention of Ganymede in this context render just everyone speechless? Wetman 01:17, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I'm not sure but I think 'the Bird and Babe' is more frequent the 'Bird and the Baby' - I'll ask about a bit before changing. Alf 22:17, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I've never heard "Bird and Babe" — just "Bird and Baby". And so far as I know St John's still own it (see [1] for details of theeir acquisition of it). -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 21:11, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
I think that the part about St John's selling it is incorrect- all though I have nothing to back it up with, except my own memory. I'm fairly sure that University College were the ones selling it, and St John's bought it, in 2003 or 2004. There was, at the time, a motion by the St John's JCR to bet the JCR's money on a horse at very high odds, and thereby raise the £1.2 million to buy it. I didn't edit, because I'm not totally sure- but what is there is unclear, because St John's do own it now.

Can anyone else add a space between the words 'Hobbit' and 'Fame' in the second paragraph? Not working for me... Alexpg ( talk) 20:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

See [1], particularly the eighth "reader's comment", which says "As the person who quite literally closed the Eagle & Child, I can absolutely assure you it isn't coming back." Ok, not a reliable source, but sadly it may well be true. Maproom ( talk) 08:21, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
