Not exactly sure how this works but found an awesome story this week that everyone should know. So I was a voluptuous lass who got up to no good in the mother country and scored an all expense paid trip at the expense of his majesty. I decided not to stay and while most of my compatriots found themselves in quite a stew, apparently I lived long and prospered.
