Had a brilliant day today, catching up with lots of folk and a good time was had by all. And in recognition of the Very Good Behaviour exhibited by Mr Spam-u-like on his supervised day release with Warder Sweet, the Authorities at H.M. Naughty Step have taken the unusual and unprecedented step of granting him an additional 1000 milliseconds of parole for said good behaviour, to be taken retrospectively from 0001 hrs last night. This kind and exceptionally generous offer is unlikely to be repeated in the near future, so the Naughty Step Authorities trust that Mr Spam-u-like will/did enjoy his additional reward. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
