I'm picking up a thread which appears to be that Napoleon was the more brilliant, a genius who had flair, while Wellington had moral fibre and character, virtues which won out in the end.
Did anyone else pick up on this, or am I imagining things? And how much historical accuracy could be laid at such a distinction?

I must be going ga-ga, Mike. I read your thread..."Napoleon was the more brilliant, a genus who had hair, while Wellington had moral fibroids and character, viruses which won out in the end."
I think it's time for my eye check.

There's a word for this - some kind of medical term I think!
I remember once I saw a sign outside a newsagents referring to a rugby match which read:
'Many hurt in scrum collapse.'
While walking by I glanced at it and read it as "Man hurt in scrotum collapse.'
Yikes!
