Why do people hijack a thread & Yakun

I'm not sure why people hijack a thread but what I do know is that it's commonplace in online forums. It's almost impossible to maintain rigidity over what is discussed in a thread. It's like coffeeshop chitchat. We'll start with one thing but end up with something completely different.

Speaking of coffeeshops, I do like Yakun but I'm beginning to favor Coffee & Toast. There's something simplistic about C&T which appeals to me. I think Yakun is too common and their kaya isn't quite as good. Their cashier (at least the one in Suntec) scares me as well.

Anyway, I've got a Adams Speedtech driver for sale. Anyone want?

J86, u r hijacking a thread.

I think yakun is overated as well... i prefer coffee & toast too... but raised their prices last year... that kinda sucks...

J.. i would buy your driver... and the plan was to save a few cents each day till i had enough.... but that was before C&T is sucking up my money... a few cents each day.

OTing a thread is common when we know each other....

i can go to J86 WTS n talk about M84 without him kicking a fuss....

I still prefer Toast Box.

As for OT, depends I guess. If it is a serious topics, then we should not OT. Otherwise, I think it is alright.

So best thing to do is to first OT, then contribute something to the original thread.

Yo Fred,

Long time no see. I guess its reasonable to OT on bro, so long as you and owner are known friends. Of course, there should be a limit to TCSS and in the end, return the thread owner's subject.

Hmm Yakun TB n C&T r ok but prefer Killineys .. esp their kaya- problem is there r not too many of them around..

@TDO i agree that hijackers shd be moderated if its really way off OTs ... short of that threadstarters shd understand that there are all sorts of opinions out there, some left some right and forummers r generally tolerant of diversity and x-pollination of ideas w lateral thinking.... then there are those who completely miss the point of the thread (wrong frequencies) and think they r still on topic.... like last thurs 95FM morning show w the flying dutchman when he asked listeners for their views on the Oscar Pistorius case and the first caller went on about the Oscar Awards about who shd get it! LOL

Off topic - all the talk about kaya & toast made me give in to a min of weakness and ended up with a Yakun Set A this morning.

Also, they have Kaya Butter Crackers @ 1.60 as well (brought back some memories).

Sorry, have no contribution for the topic.

[color=white]I don't really like Yakun's too crispy bread with butter & kaya. Give me the old Garden Street off Beach Road coffee stall anytime. The kaya is so damned good that I am saliva is dripping my shirt wet. But off course that was back in the 1960's. Wonder where that Hainan Ah Pek or his decendents are now. Since this thread has been hijack I might as well hijack myself and added in Yakun.

So what do you guys think is the secret to the half boiled eggs?

how about a vote on the best yakun outlet.

Best yakun kaya toast....

imo .... Parkway Parade outlet.....

Best tea.....

imo toast box bugis......

And y do ppl hijack a thread....?

It's becoz ..... If not it'll be rather boring. We can regard the jacked post as advertisments. No one like advertisments when the best part of the movie is runnin.
