G7 - France vs. England

I suppose if Mary hadn't invited the Williams over back in the 80's none of this would ever have happened.

that would give us THREE "Holy Roman Emperors" in the game

How come we are back to the peace solution requiring my head to be chopped off Old Louis yes, of course you are right in everything you say, I am wrong, you are right - we seem to be back to having my head chopped off again as the only viable, reasonable peace settlement because my honour score is dropping so rapidly and also because I am such a bad treaty breaking player who deserves to have biblical curses thrown at me (WTF !) The Empire is revolting against me, or is overun with French armies, my treasury is exhausted and the Dauphin is a mad fellah just like Old Louis, so it will be impossible to ever reach a reasonable peace settlement My armies are defeated, and certainly not having new ones forming on the Rhine
Perhaps I should just throw in the towel, but claim that really I have won but nobody else knows it or sees it? What do you think of that plan Old Louis?

If I recall, wasn't Spartacus crucified along with his followers? You can't want to crucify all 3 emperors, surely? Bit rough on the Tsar as a loyal ally of France.

Keep going like this and you'll be as unpopular as me

Strangely the whole situation in England did make me think the last time England was this much at the mercy of France was perhaps during the reign of King John, at the stage when the English nobles offered the crown to the Dauphin...

And then King John passed on and the whole of England rallied round Sir William Marshall........and the Frogs and the Scots found themselves in a very bad place and heading for the door.

Oh I get it ........you think that if King Williams horse trips over a mole hole and Churchill gets assassinated by the Jacobites in revenge. England gets a proper ENGLISH Queen....menaced by Scots, Frogs and Irish........and suddenly everyone is offering quotes from Henry V and the French Army in England is thinking .........EXIT PLEASE

Good news - I've found some "Tips on Trapping Ferrets":

Apparently they are a serious problem in New Zealand where they are but one link in the disease transmission chain infecting stock. This is because they scavenge on dead carcasses and spread TB. According to this site: http://www.sp.co.nz/rural_news/articles/ferrets.html ferrets can be caught any time of the year with the highest kill rate being in February through to late May. However it is wise to follow a 12 month programme. Trapping sites should be adjusted over winter to take in any sheltered dry situations such as hay barns.

Initially use bait such as meat or fish. However once a ferret is caught, the smell of that ferret seems to attract others to the trap. Brian Charlott has had the greatest success locally using fresh eel as bait. No mention of nuts, though.

You still have to build and site your ferret traps, though the site has instructions which are easy to follow.

Who am I to argue with a professional of 30 years experience in such matters?
