One for the Historians

Post by DaiJones »

I have just spotted an amusing misprint in today's Times. It says that Napoleon Bonaparte died in miserable exile "in St Helens" with abnormal doses of arsenic apparently hastening his death.

I think if I had been exiled there I'd do the same.

PS I hope I won't be scorned for trying to up the intellectual scope of the board

Not from me Dai. It makes a change from reading about who shouts the loudest and what songs are played at half-time.

If I had been exiled to st helens, I think that I would have taken a job lot of arsenic and got it over with on day one!

I like the french about as much as I like scousers - so who knows, maybe he would have liked it there!
