  1. 'I wore this one at Austerlitz, or was it Borodino ? No, it was Waterloo. I remember Wellington shouting "Oi, you, the big girl's blouse in the silly dress, how do you fancy a holiday on St Helena ?"

  2. 'Napoleon's single leg no disadvantage as he prepares high diving board jump at Paris Olympics of 1812'

    (The small window-shaped pool was a major challenge that year. Napoleon was so pleased with his dive that he immediately made himself Emperor)

  6. Now, I am going to ask you nicely and for the last time. Otherwise I absolutely refuse to step down. Which one of you stole my hat?

  7. "This one I wore during the retreat from Moscow; jeez it was cold. The coat is 7 feet long and I'm 5'2". The main problem was presenting myself to the lads as a figure of inspiration"

  8. "I was wearing this one when I made that put-down of all put-downs 'The English are a nation of anteaters', or was it beekeepers, or sunseekers? Maybe it was beefeaters; don't think it was shopkeepers"
