Hello, Good Evening And Welcome
Having been "away" for too long a time I have a question.
The entire "weeding" list has been overhalued it would appear. Just what is "Clause 83" ?
Any clarification would be lovely.
Thanks in advance
Andy TG

Clause 83 is Big Si's addition to the rules; it says "Except Big Si"

It's in his sig.
In English class once, a friend and I were left in charge whilst the teacher went to the office. We quickly drew up a constitution which was basically "THOU SHALT NOT WORK". We then added many clauses, saying that though the teacher could over-ride this rule, my friend and I would not be affected by it, so we don't have to do any work unless we want to.
She seemed to have taken it seriously, we stopped doing Shakespeare soon after, and did creative writing instead.
Perhaps I should add my "Clause Two" to the list of rules, amending it to read "Not Applicable To Dark"
Or would that just earn me a boot around the head?

Not really weeding related so I'll shift this into General

VYVYAN: Hey, that's my clause!
NEIL: ...shall go to the laundrette without first collecting all the other guys dirty gear.
MIKE: Yeah? Clause 83.
NEIL: [reads on] Except for Mike. Oh. [closes book] Right. Sorry.
