Sorry to say that I have removed some of the comments because of the swearing - if you have a problem with a user, please send them messages directly, and keep this section free for those to have sensible discussions - thanks :)

Guys, please can I ask that we keep any discussions a little more civilised, thanks ;)

@CaptainHollister

you're right, I stop this discussion right now, I am afraid to be as stupid as fringecakeboy if I stay here.

i hope not finish like him when i will have his age. it's very sad!

@pennbzh Please don't get me wrong, I actually encourage healthy debate and free speech - but when it descends to swearing by some members, then it is no longer a healthy debate, but a pointless argument. So long as the debate is kept calm, then I have no quarrels at all - we are all entitled to an opinion, what-ever that opinion might be :)

'What are your plans?' 'To beat the French.' Makes me proud to be British.

@pennbzh Welington, and yes Blucher helped a lot, that is true, and if Napoleon was in good health in the day of the battle and Grouchy had arrived Napoleon would surely have won.This was a time of great generals and men.I am sorry for my English.

@pennbzh You can't deny that Britain had a great part in the napoleonic wars, without British help the peninsula would not have become free, they would cause damage certainly but not freedom.And you cannot insult England in such a way, since the Iluminists that gave ended up inspiring the french revolution based themselves in the English Parliament and end of absolute monarchy like in France.Britain is a country with a great army.I have great respect for Napoleon, he was a great man , but so is

Have to agree with Hollister. As much as I love to see the good old Anglo-Franc love hate relationship is still alive, that guy is a poor example of our countrymen.

@pennbzh Last I heard, 25% of the Foreign legion is french - they get in by pretending to be French-Canadian or french-speaking Swiss - thats what I heard
