Daily Theme

**Lucky’s Dad’s rule apply so ignore PAA or Lothur **

The daily theme soap is the last latherbot quiz soap before midday GMT on the day before the date.

i.e. the 1st February theme will be the last quizzed soap by latherbot before 12 noon GMT on the 31st January. If that soap is by PAA or Lothur then the theme soap will be the one before that.

FAQ

Who are the Judges?

There is no judge, just a tallyman at the end. All else is based on community policing and rule 1

How do I query a rule?

You don’t. Rules are the rules. Want to push it, fine but you risk a DQ.

How do I ask questions?

Postal queries are accepted only on postcards that have a picture of a bearded dragon on and sent in to Blue Peter.

What’s a ‘knobhead’?

British slang. If you find it hard to distinguish between being funny and mean then err on the side of caution. Some examples:

P2 can be funny but he can swing wildly, miss badly and get a cob on, and Jeff’s dry humour isn’t always spotted so he can rub people the wrong way. Neither are knobheads but both can sometimes comes across as a knobheads. They should be careful. On the other hand I don’t think I’ve ever seen you-know-who be anything but a knobhead on discord, he is probably best sitting this one out or seriously thinking about why so many people on discord have him muted.
