You could even end up more comforatable without all those pesky phasants bothering you providing there are still enough of them left to grow your food, make your clothes, maintain your home(s)

Heak of a lot better odds than the lottery, providing you don't care about other people.

damn straight Garden T.

no-one ever talks about the good news of "the black death" way back when.

much more pie to divide up among the survivors, labourers were in such high demand that wages skyrocketed.

plenty of room was made for those on the up!

sure whats a tremedous calamity in the face of that!
