Hijacked threads

I’d be surprised if he sat down.......

N&G I did ask earlier if he had a suitcase sitting beside his desk.

If I was Tom....... I’d have run for the hills

Will Tom be coming back to work tomorrow?

Probably a nightmare N & G

I wonder what Toms Gran is like if he has one ? We’re we a surprise ......or a shock :-) !

That would be a thread about a thread abut a thread! Tom woudn't be happy. (Do you suppose he's gone home yet and did he need a stiff drink?)

Looking forward to the hijacked hijacked threads thread.

Hmm, I started a thread about fake hand holding on property programmes, someone posted on it about some sort of relationship problem which was not even remotely connected to the OP! I wasn't bothered, I think that it may have been a new member who just read the thread title and jumped in!

Although I don't know the thread referred to (must read and check) it, it would seem on the surface that to bring politics into a non political thread is a bit off.

Hush! political discussion has been banned!

I'm not annoyed in this case. The thread's an interesting one and has taken several twists and turns. It's not a support thread. It happened gradually, and I can't see that it's at all like someone cutting on on a private conversation.

Eleothan, have you adjusted your figures on your rather long list of political threads , the list where you included me as right wing, an untruth / cheating ?

It's a bloody forum wildswan16 if you want private conversations try using PMs

Well said wildswan16

It really isn't and I'm really not. You can see lots of my posts about different things if you bother to look. It just amuses me that someone thinks posting that they don't like political posters is some sort of interesting information. I don't like boring people but I don't make a big thing about it and I don't keep posting about it.

Or a narrow outlook perhaps? Nothing else going on in life except politics? No family/life experiences/humour/films/theatre etc? I'd find it rather dull to be centred on only one topic but there's nowt so odd as folk!

Think it must be some sort of compulsion to be totally centred on politics

There we go......

Yes, that thread was certainly a good example of a non-political thread being used to have a cheap (and erroneous) shot at the contribution of left wingers on political threads.

It's really just the same as two people having a perfectly innocuous conversation and someone else coming along and barging in with a totally irrelevant remark and trying to turn it to something they want to talk about. It's just rude.

Couldn't agree more christinefrance. One poster suggested that those of us who don't like political posts should "post something more interesting then". When I replied that that had been attempted I was told "That's not interesting"!
I don't mind reading the political subjects if they're in the News and Politics forums but when they leech out into other subjects too, it's a complete turn off.

Eight minutes have passed....

This thread will become political in about five mins.?
