Dear fellow Perves,
The following on-going story is a collaberation between yours truly; cariad; jennyfer;seababy and suchaminx.
I shall endeavour to keep these budding authors in line, but as you can see from the Academy roll I have my work cut out for me!
I hope we all enjoy ourselves!

Slothlands Academy
The Old School House
Birchingem
Prospectus 2006.
Dear Prospective parent or guardian.
I, Edmund Master, would like to warmly welcome you and your daughter to my little Academy.
Slothlands has recently opened its doors following an introduction by the Campaign for the Advancement of Regional Independent Academies of Domination studies (CARIAD).
You will see from the photographs that the Academy is housed in a delightful old school house that has been modernised yet still retains many of the original features from the 1900’s when it was first built.
Slothlands is conveniently situated only two miles from the town of Birchingem, a pleasant walk for our students to take when they run out of life’s essentials. Birchingem has numerous public houses as well as no less than four off-licences! I am positive that parents will encourage their daughters to learn about such establishments in preparation for life in the big world. Parents will also note that this Headmaster’s favourite tipple is JD. Extra points are of course awarded for your daughter’s dedication to out-of-school activities.
The main Academy building can be seen to house the three classrooms and main hall downstairs with the first-class dormitory on the first floor. Your daughter will lack for nothing at Slothlands, there are even two ice machines on the landing as well as individual fridges by each bed. Students are encouraged to keep these well-stocked with JD in case of a sudden visit by a parent or guardian. You will agree there is nothing like a relaxing drink to encourage studious behaviour.
The three classrooms have been left very much as “original” and I think the old-fashioned desks make our students feel right at home. You will be amused to note further original features such as the quaint old crook-handled canes hanging from the door pegs! Again, these add a homely touch to the otherwise austere rooms. You should in no way feel alarmed, incidentally, by the iron rings set into the walls. Nor by the ropes fastened to them. These period decorations were very much the vogue when the building was new and I think you will agree with me that they still look good today.
Housed in the secondary building we have our own swimming pool. The beautifully-restored ducking stool makes a unique feature and I must thank our caretaker, Mr Ted Stoat, for all his hard work in bringing it up to meet EU standard e-11 1304. It was felt necessary to fit the elaborate restraint system for your daughter’s safety! No expense is spared at Slothlands! Students may play with this equipment under the (extremely) strict eye of our PE teacher, Miss Marie Gonzales. Coming to us with unique qualifications from a small South American country where she studied under its President himself, Miss Gonzales is happy to show our students “the ropes”!
In the adjacent room there is the Slothlands fully-equipped gymnasium. Once again we have thought of the student’s safety and have even fitted safety restraints on the vaulting horses! Your child will be safe in our hands!
There is an elaborate selection of ropes, some of which are used for climbing, a most beneficial exercise!
Upstairs you will find the Slothlands Academy Library. This is kept stocked with some of the best publications money can buy (and a few that cannot be purchased over the counter of even the grandest bookshops.) We have first-edition Qmoqs as well as other well-known writers of that genre. The students may browse through the books or read informative magazines such as “Hello” and “Bizarre” in order to further their general knowledge.
