	RR'd twice in one week. I can rarely recall having anything in this house twice a week - my birthday celebrations excepted. And just my luck to be born on the 29th February! But back to Napoleon who was also noted for retreating backwards. There have been many legendary writers of love letters – like Napoleon, whose early passions for his new bride Josephine were mostly confined to print because the 'Little General' was whisked off to war just days after their marriage, when he was ordered to leave and command the French army near Italy. Indeed the problem here was that Josephine rarely wrote back and he began to hear rumours that she was being unfaithful to him. Perhaps she was texting him and he was just out of coverage in the trenches or on the field of battle. As it turned out, Napoleon’s letters became more intimate and loving, but quickly turned sour when it was confirmed that she was having an affair – giving historians more of an insight into Monsieur Bonaparte than they might otherwise have hoped for. For all of the advances in technology – and many of them are to be cherished – we still rely on the printed or written word as the first draft of history. But this isn’t just about the past. Albert Einstein might have been correct when he predicted: "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots." But then Albert never suffered the embarrassment of being RR'd. Lucky fellow. :-P
