Thread wander- I read somewhere that one of the things which contributed to him loosing the Battle of Waterloo was his piles!
They were so bad he couldn't sit on his horse and being short, when he got off he couldn't oversee the battlefield and his troops.
I wonder which hurt him most- his piles or loosing the battle?
