I changed it at the last moment, because I thought it might have been a bit easy. Another lesson learnt... Never mind.

That's a good point. Unfortunately for me the 8am England time is presently 8pm for me.
I could in future leave it going all night but would not be able to respond until the morning here because I will be 
In future I'll leave a warning of such.

Had to do some research for that nice word (garroters).
I'm guessing it has something to do with killers (who kill painfully) becoming painkillers?

Not quite, methinks.
annoying (person or event) = pain
garrotters = killers
I'd have gone for ...
Annoyance by garroters in numbers
... or summat of t'ilk.

The rules all contradict each other.
He followed rule #2 so should get a +5.
The OP broke his own #7 rule

Ah, but...you forgot rule #1...

How did I break it? By using the word "shagging"? That's a matter of opinion. Personally I teach my sons 2,5 and 5 which words mean what and why and when (not) use them. I would explain "to shag" in the same way as I would explain "to elaborate", "to be bored" or any other vocabulary 
Which rules do you believe contradict?

|
|
|
|
I believe rule #7 contradicts rule #34.

deserves a longer reply than I have time to give. Contradict is maybe the wrong word, the post was originally longer and I edited it. The guy sort of got the answer after 40 or so minutes yet this was deemed to early. Some of your rules say upvotes for correct answers but some say not too early.
