40 horses running to the first fence in the grand national is spectacular

Quatre Bras was saved for the allies by a Belgian regiment who'd been fighting for the French a couple of years before.
Why the fuck would you want to dress up as the Waffen SS, have people never heard of Wormhout?

I like the quote by Wellington whilst at a ball in Vienna in 1814, apparently the French officers present all turned their backs on him. A woman present apologised to him for their rudeness to which he is said to have replied "I have seen their backs before Madam"
Ha ha ha, good old Nosey!
