    St Helena is finally getting a connection to the Internet via a undersea cable - think I will retire there one day.

    A real memory jerker - I was there in 1970 when HMS Minerva anchored off Jamestown for a few days. Napoleon's house was then largely empty, and my main memory is of the continual drizzle, although the coastline only a few miles away was dry and barren. Presumably the green walls shown in the film are not the original wallpaper - the arsenic used to colour it green leeched out in the continual damp, and contributed to Bonaparte's death. The French later thought the Brits had poisoned him, but after a programme on BBC radio a listener came forward with a section of the actual paper, collected by an ancestor who had been one of Bonaparte's jailers, and analysis showed it was laced with arsenic. At one time my photo of Jamestown from the sea was the only picture of St Helena on Wikipedia, but long since replaced with a better pic. Truly a great place to visit - but I don't suppose I'll get there again. (NB Ascension Island was interesting, too)

    they exiled Napolian to this place, built him a nice house, slowly poisoned him with arsenic. then exhumed his body and honored it in france. What a bunch of stupid evil pricks.

      Copy and pasted here. Unsure on its validity, but there are alternative opinions about Napoleon's death. Either way, he would have died, as we all do eventually, but never to have raised another army in Europe, which was the reason for sending him so far away in the first place. "Presumably the green walls shown in the film are not the original wallpaper - the arsenic used to colour it green leeched out in the continual damp, and contributed to Bonaparte's death.

    Beautiful and peaceful place in 2012. I wonder if the airport was completed and what affect it has had on the island .Usually when access to a place is improved too many people come there and ruin the place by their presence.

    In the 80s, I had a work colleague from there. One year, he saved up all his holiday to visit his mother. He didn't show up at work when expected but we had a message to say he'd missed the boat back. He was known as an "expert" drinker. Needless to say he got the sack.
