Thanks Troosha - it looks clever, doesn't it - but I admit to not being a
Latin speaker or even knowing how to pronounce Latin properly!

Thanks, Dylan - it was a sudden last-minute idea.
At first I was going to do a different Latin phrase for each line, but this proved too tricky.

What, Najwa - the real hat of NAPOLEON?
Oh, Napoleon Brandy! Oh well, I'm glad it all got drunk. My parents never used to drink alcohol. It used to remain untouched for years. My Dad saw sense later in life, though.

Et tu Tony? Making your Mark as usual upon our intellectual
prowess, nihil difficile, it seems. Oh yes, my latin teacher will definitely be proud of you, and so am I. Great piece of work of thorough enjoyment! Shadow.
