to want people to stop hijacking threads

[crystaldash]

I can see how it happens but if someone has asked a specific question, surely it is polite to answer it before going off in a completely different direction. And if the other topics are so interesting then start a new thread. Sorry for rant, but seen so many op's ignored when they are asking for advice.

I hate the spelling and grammar moaners.

They should stick to Pedants' Corner. Biscuit de-railers should stick to Food.

Maybe that's the answer to the biscuit de-railers, just helpfully point out the Food section.

Well when you are in charge of the whole of the internet OP you can stop people doing it

You need commas each side of "OP".

The king is dead long live the queen

I always thing controlling people must be bad in bed and therefore uptigjt which makes them more controlling

Sorry left field and typo

Is this the cheese thread?

No, the quickest hijack was someone asking about the (un)popularity of the Queen Mother, and the 2nd post gave an opinion on East Midlands Airport.

No I don't as this isn't an English paper and you aren't my teacher

Are we getting tennis emoticons? MNHQ? Anyone?

Tennis emoticons? Like one of someone kicking the advertising boards?

FuckerSnail your name is awesome. I have recently dug up my flower beds and examined every snail I found in the hope that one would say 'fucker'. Sadly I found none but DH has stolen a Sharpie from work so I shall be decorating the next one I find

Great idea! I shall put letters on the snails and spell out 'Stop using my garden waste bin, you fuckers'. How many snails will I need?

Why thank you feak. I recently fuckerised a snail myself. It was most satisfying. I have a picture on my profile:). I had to use white eyeliner because I had no markers to hand though.

Manic, one word per snail would be better. Although I like the seperate letters idea, people would be very puzzled.

Now that's a hijack!

I used to paint hermit crabs.

The shells. Not the actual creatures.

That's probably a lot kinder Linerunner!

Haven't we had this thread already today?

We have this thread several times a day just lately

About hijacking or odd behaviour towards animals

Both, probably. We've also had several threads about the Spice Girls, and feckin Christmas.

It's clearly a sign of the impending apocolypse

apocolypse apocalypse

Although under the new regime where I am chief lizard it will be spelt apocolypse
