1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

I've had to cheat slightly, as there are only 7 sentences on this page, one of which started on page 122. I don't count footnotes or headers, so I've omitted them. Starting with the fifth sentence:

The provisions are:
(a) sections 824 to 826 of the principal Act (repayment supplements and interest on tax overpaid); and
(b) section 283 of the 1992 Act (repayment supplements).
Subject to sections 6 to 12 and Parts VIII and XI of the Principal Act (charge of corporation tax on companies), every body of persons shall be chargeable to income tax in like manner as any person is chargeable under the Income Tax Acts.
Subject to section 108 of this Act, the chamberlain or other officer acting as treasurer, auditor or receiver for the time being of any body of persons chargeable to income tax shall be answerable for doing all such acts as are required to be done under the Income Tax Acts for th purpose of the assessment of the body and for payment of the tax.

I sincerely hope this book is just gathering dust on the corner of your desk at work, acting as a paperweight. Because otherwise...you have my sympathies!

Absolutely not - this is the book I use most at work, hence it being to hand.

In fact I was leafing through volume 1b of it (pages 5,001-7,300) when I got the notification of your comment :-D

Fascinating read. Some bits are hilarious :-)

Just as long as you don't take it home over the weekend for some light pleasure reading... ;-)
