You're far too easy to play along with. I'm getting bored.

Your reading and comprehension is sadly lacking, for which I award you a C. I have already said I enjoy living among the warm hearted Irish in preference to the disgusting little Englanders at home right now. I thought that made it clear I am not one myself? Sorry if I'm confusing you...

Eurasia is one landmass and geologically one continent. The Bosphorus straits and the Ural Mountains make convenient man made boundaries at which we chose to demarkate Europe and Asia. But that is all they are. Man made lines drawn on the map. There is nothing different about one side of the Urals from the other.

You are a complete pedantic little point scoring, nonentity.
The perfect Englihman, perhaps but thanks for your primary school remembrances anyway.

General knowledge starter question for 10: who called England "a nation of shopkeepers?"
Main question : who brought about his eventual downfall, and what was his nationality?
And for a bonus point, what was his well known quote with respect to his nationality?

Given your superior education I await your immediate response

Napoleon, and Wellington only succeeded on the day with Blucher's Prussians.
Jog on twit.

The stable thing is likely apocryphal.

When in doubt hurl insults. I salute you!

Correct. And why would the Prussians have joined Wellington's forces in preference to Napoleon's?
Because Wellington was able to recognise the value of allies, whereas Napoleon was an arrogant little shit.

Always have the time for you.
Must be your endearing personality.

I suppose you do at least attempt to resist hurling insults, although you seem to be enjoying yourself this evening. No idea what motivates you, but it doesn't seem to come from a place of happiness.

Who knows? But I doubt it

So it was Napoleon who said a nation of shopkeepers, Wellington was born in Dublin and when asked about been Irish because of his birthplace he said Our Lord was born in a stable but that doesn't make him a horse. No Google btw but then again I may be wrong

You are well met with Napoleon.
