This is the poorest excuse for a hijacking that I think I have seen here. As the masters (Allan, Frans, Adrian) have indicated, hijacking is a sophisticated, refined, and very complex art. It is not something that should be tried by amateurs. And it should never be done at home except under the careful and continued supervision of an expert.
If you look around, you will find excellent examples of masterful hijackings on TRF. This is clearly not one of them.

But don't say never. Just keep watching and learning from the masters. And take baby steps. On occasion, stick your toe in the water and try a hijack. Pretty soon you'll get the hang of it. The main thing to remember is that you cannot start a hijack thread. A hijack has to come in the middle of a thread. Although there have been some extreme examples of a hijack that started with the second post. But this can only be done by a sensai black belt hijack master of the 32nd degree. It is something to which every novice hijacker can aspire.

I went for a ride on my bike yesterday. The trails were wet from all the rain. Uh oh... All in all a fun time. Gee I hope I didn't disrupt the flow of the thread.

This thread reminds me of an ADD convention.

Truly then the only un-hijackable thread is a thread setting out to be hijacked by having it's subject matter originally based around highjacking!!!!!

We've been onto you for years, jimseypoo76. If you thought you could pull the wool over the mods eyes with the Kiwi's sheep, you are sadly mistaken.
You got it, ol' Bitsybottoms76. You cannot hijack a thread that is itself about hijacking. It's an oxymoron that encompasses circular reasoning, always returning to the same starting point - the hijack.

Please see my possible workaround to this conundrum above, Ed.
