napoleon bonapetit
Was talking to my sister the other day about moving in to our new place and how our dog/mother's 3rd daughter, Muffin, has made friends with the neighbour's dog, Napoleon.
sabrina : i heard the neighbour's dog is called napoleon
stef : yah so cute!
sabrina : which is cute cos wasn't napoleon bonaparte quite a small man too?
stef : yeah but he isn't a shih tzu.
sabrina : -_-
Okay I don't know why that was significant, but I thought it was funny. I have a weird sense of humour, vat can aiseh?
MOVING ON, I read somewhere that the assumption that Napoleon Bonaparte was a short man is totally untrue. When he died, the autopsy recorded that he was 5 feet and 2 inches, which was in French feet not English feet. So if you convert it to the other, Napoleon Bonaparte was actually 5 feet 6 inches (which is actually taller than the average French man back in the day).
"I don't know why, but the little bastard scares me." - random french general; haha i thought that was quite funny hurhur.
"It is not enough that I succeed — everyone else must fail." - for such a teeny tiny tyrant, he sure has a big ego. I love it!

lovestruck; change your fate
Lovestruck; a section in the Londonpaper. It's like THE classifieds for lost lovers.
Yes, I read that section. Not in hopes that I'd be mentioned lah, but I love the smell of desperation. I love the idea of love at first sight. But most of all, I admire how hopeful they are.
Here are some of my favourites:
Toby, we walked together under the snowmen on Carnaby St. You're definitely the one. Pink drink on me? SARAH
To the man who let me under his big umbrella on the way to Liverpool Street at 7.30pm on Tuesday. Thank you. It got me home dry and happy. RAINDROP GIRL
-Is it just me or does this one have one too many sexual connotations in it.
To the sweetheart Italian I met at Long Acre bar on Friday 21st. You drew a heart on my hand in purple. Get in touch. R
To Anna from Barclays I have loved you for 13 years since I first saw you. I still love you now x x x
-My ultimate favourite.
