I read this as sleeping with fishnets

Cruel and unusual punishment is a breach of The Human Rights Convention. I'm old school, not a savage.

Plus, it's better to focus more on psychological methods, as they last longer and can be a lot more effective, than the normal torture methods that are outlawed.

I don't have any special skills to offer, apart from the ability to eat an entire tub of ice cream in one sitting, but I do have an army of cats that make good spies. Well, unless they get distracted by a red dot or a fluffy thing on a string attached to a stick.

Oh, I can make a spreadsheet with pretty colours to show who has paid protection money and who hasn't.

Any skills of various sorts, all help with different tasks, besides we also offer various training programs on the farm, to get recruits and seasoned professionals to acquire new or improve existing skills. As long as all recruits and professionals are willing to learn, then that's the main requirement for the training programs.

I wanna dirty Earl Grey and a filthy bagel.

anytime velvetvixen! I've got you covered. I am the cheery but gruff mafioso that lives in the kitchen and does the cooking.

Conflictedunicorn · 26/06/2022 22:46

Oooh yes! The best ones. I’ve got Irish butter…

I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse [ for the Irish butter obvs.]

elephantoverthehill · 26/06/2022 22:30

I think daggers are a bit passe to the MN mafia, we need Swiss army knives so that we can get stones out of Boy Scout's hooves and use the very useful tweezers and screwdriver bits to ensure even distribution of bagels and lemon drizzle cakes.

@elephantoverthehill I can get you those, too

Sunbird24 · 27/06/2022 00:17

I can do codes and cryptic crosswords if that’s any use?

FOJN · 27/06/2022 00:37

Is The Cloak and Dagger a pub? Are these the bitter ramblings of someone who didn't get invited for a glass of prosecco?

I may also frequent your services when possible and be intrigued with your menus.

Welcome aboard, to the language, cipher, and codes department

Pifflewiffle · 27/06/2022 01:00

I’m really good at making glass, stainless steel and other surfaces really really shiny and I can make a delicious tomato soup. I’m not sure which department these comes under.

The mumsnet mafia have the moderators in their back pocket we all know it

Yep! Now you may kiss my ring....

You'll be given the option s of being part of the engineering dept and cooking departments, welcome to.the club.

Envenomed blades (viper origin, of course) are the subtle classic tho', surely?

I am the official bagel supplier to the mumsnet mafia, all served with your choice of hot beverage, earl grey a speciality. Irish coffee when required.

I can make a good chilli but my tomato soup comes out of a can (or a carton if we're feeling posh) so I think you just made it to head chef.

jeaux90 · 27/06/2022 09:00

MN mafia? I prefer The Cliteratti.

<wanders in>

Nobody who does this fucking nesting thing can be a mafiosa.

<wanders out again>

Oh 😔 well then I'll just lean against the wall with my arms crossed and nod wisely whenever anyone says anything, so it looks like I'm actually in charge of you all.

Occasionally when someone makes a decision, I'll give them a significant look as though I'm authorising it.

CeratopsofthePharoahs · 27/06/2022 09:43

Can I join? I don't have a dagger but I do have a katana. It's display only and as blunt as a ball and was actually made in Italy rather than Japan.

Pifflewiffle · 27/06/2022 09:44

JesusInTheCabbageVan
I've been on here since it was all herds of brachiosaurs. Am I the MN mafia yet?

If you’ve been around that long I should think you’re definitely in. You could be the wise woman/man. Sort of a mafia Yoda figure perhaps.

Im happy with head cook. I’m stuck in waiting for a parcel so I’ll check out recipes for horse heads while I’ve got the time.
