High Society Mafia: Morning One ‘Welcome, ladies and gentlemen’ said the man in the captain’s outfit. ‘My name is McGinty, and I’ll be your captain for this voyage. Lady Weston-Hogues sends her most sincere apologies that she could not be here to welcome you herself, but alas she...

High Society Mafia Two-hundred feet from bow to stern and fitted out in ostentatious luxury, the Herculina was a floating testament to the decadent tastes of its owner. With fifteen guest cabins, each decorated to its own unique theme, the yacht was where Lady Weston-Hogues held her...

Taking advantage of a recent change in UK employment law, I am about to spend 6 months on paternity leave, looking after my baby son whilst my wife goes back to work. The deal is that, since she is entitled to a year's maternity leave, I can take any portion of that in her place, and my employer...

Your Majesty, Lords and Ladies... If I might be permitted to take a little of your time, I have a story to tell. A story of murder, deception and woe, the likes of which our peaceful kingdom has never heard. A story entitled... The Last Queen of the Amazons Though it might stretch credulity...

Evening all. I've just got a couple of questions about the personalities of Hatty and MM... 1) How likely is it that either of them will attack me if I keep relations at 'pleased' or better? I've really been pushing my luck with the power graph, and if either one of them attacks I'm...
