So today's quote of the day is this:


"Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent."


Thanks, Napoleon. That was a rare insight into why you got beaten by... er... everyone.

Napoleon lived on a prison ship just off the coast of Cornwall in what is called Plymouth Sound. He used to march up and down the deck for all the Plymouthians to look at. Incidentally, it's pretty much near to the same spot where Adolf Hitler wanted to live. A place called Mount Edgecumbe country house. He had a german pilot executed when it was bombed as he was slightly miffed at his future country pile going up in smoke.

Not a lot of people know that......

Kudos is also the name of a nightclub in Wells that used to be the Regal Cinema.  Now the cinema is in a scout hut but where the scouts went I do not know.  Unless you can earn a film watching badge whilst at the cinema......


Not sure though....

Ah ... the benefits of removal from context, eh ... oh and shite translation from the french.


Mind you, he also said


"Ability is of little account without opportunity"


"Never interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"


"It requires more courage to suffer than to die"


"In politics stupidity is not a handicap"


"A true man hates no one"


"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich"


OK, so he was a bit of a dick and the whole empire thing was a bit off, but he said some cool stuff
