# nothing wrong with a spong!
Thread Jack!

Is ther anything on sky these days? Well, enough for me to be bothered to buy it anyway? I'm just wondering if it's worth £38 a month. Normal tele sucks...we've already got the dish and box, from when my brother had it installed...I was gonna take over the payments, but I'm not sure.

what is a threadjack? I assumed it is someone who posts on your thread instead of starting a new one but now I am not so sure...

It's when someone needs to say something unimportant and to save the sanity of the magic donkey he/she asks the question in a currently open thread insted of pushing someone work off the bottom of the board.

Cal hasn't fixed it recently.

My best quess would be that it works in much the same way as the clock in the bottom corner of your screen. Have you noticed that when you download lots of stuff your clock slows down? Well I'm guess that when loads of stuff gets posted to the board then the clock fucks up slightly...
