Napoleon died 200 years ago today

@wittmann:

Don’t worry Worsham. You are very passionate about the subject and I am still learning.
Sorry I did not check and discreetly tell you by PM.
Hope you are having a good weekend. The 4th tomorrow….

Thank you for the kind words.

@ABWorsham:

Spain was known as Napoleon’s bleeding ulcer.

Ulster was known as England’s bleeding pain.

The rivalry between cities that goes back to medieval times still exists in Italy. It can be seen in sport nowadays, certainly in  football.
I like it. I like how your place of birth can give you a sense of pride.
I never feel better than when I return to Florence and walk the historic streets, see the Palazzo Vecchio, cathedral, the  city walls and the river.
I will be there in give weeks. October is a good month too.

@Cromwell_Dude:

What would you have done had you been Hood or another general in the West?

If I was Hood I would have shadowed Sherman deep into Georgia and attempted to counter attack him near Savannah while his supply lines were at his longest.

I think it was easy for another to bribe the executioner to make  a mess of things so the victim suffered.

Well done. They met once. Is a trivial pursuit/general knowledge question often asked.
I never remember the answer when I need it!

Happy New Year’s all!

Nah! You’ve got more important things to do. :o

Who said that?!?!

You are obviously spreading your wisdom in other places.
Excuse me. I have to go put on my hipwaders. :wink:
