A part of the flotila went back to
France but other French ships landed invading troops on the shores of
Ireland and Wales.
These surrendered to superior British forces later on. The costs of
the Irish war and Napoleon's impending threat across the channel
forced the British government to introduce the first income tax in
British history.
Another attempt by the French, in 1804, with 100,000 troops was
aborted.

Narcissism
Narcissism is a pattern of traits and behaviors which signify
infatuation and obsession with one's self to the exclusion of all
others and the egotistic and ruthless pursuit of one's gratification,
dominance and ambition.
According to the legend of Narcissus, this Greek boy fell in love with
his own reflection in a pond. Presumably, this amply sums up the
nature of his namesakes: narcissists. The mythological Narcissus was
rejected by the nymph Echo and was punished by Nemesis, Consigned to
pine away as he fell in love with his own reflection.
Most narcissists (75%) are men.
