geronimo Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm sure there are members who think dot allocation is automatic. Well, I can tell you it most certainly isn't. When you are 25 posts away from a dot, Rimmer calls a mod meeting and proposes the dot allocation, asking all mods if there are any reasons why the dot should not be given! In the event there are no objections, Rimmer dons the beaver hat and solemnly marches to the safe where the dots are kept. He then has to use his key, along with the 3 other keys that must be simultaneously inserted to open the dot box. As soon as the box is open, all mods must look at the floor, as no one is allowed to see inside the box. Once the dot is out of the box, it is put into a ceremonial urn, then it is blessed by Rimmer and a group of select mods take the dot to the server, where is it put. I am not allowed to say what happens next ,,,,, otherwise I won;t get my 7th dot ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly gone off at a tangent (tan θ = opposite over adjacent). Aren't you concerned about the pile of dishes he still hasn't washed - or is it safer to wait until his head clears before you left him loose with any cutlery?
