Can we not have a MISC topic, as i have a question and dont know what topic to put it under !!!!!!

IF YOU HIJACK A PLANE WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU TAKE OVER A SHIP ????

[jno]

Same word, I think. Could post it under Phrases & Sayings.

[micko1962]

cheers, i did anyway !!

[Shipstabber]

It's called hijacking a ship.

And I would have put it under Travel. Or Jobs and Careers.

[MargeB]

misc not a bad idea, in my opinion. It would probably be quite good fun, if anything.

You can hijack a car? What's that called?

Car Jacking. I think I would have put it under "how it works"

[Laura-sakura]

Nice clip btw Marge!

[jno]

carjacking is not uncommon in South Africa, which looks like where MargeB's clip comes from

[magicdice]

sorry, but i think a miscellaneous category would be a bad idea. loads of people wouldn't bother to think about what category questions should go in & it'd be full of lazy questions.

Piracy

okay, I'm convinced, piracy, disregard my first post. But no to a Misc category, for the same reason as Magicdice.

[Lillabet]

I agree a misc category would be overused. But equally sometimes there are questions that don't really fit any existing category. How about a 'none of the above' category for these?

Dear Users,

We are not considering any new categories at the moment, but thanks for the suggestion.

I say The Editor there�s a rather rude chap in Corbyloon imposter Q by MargeB called snoteater, very rude to acw.

Hadn't noticed lord bagshot - I shall pop over there and have a look! Thanks for saying though!  You can always report nasty people you know - or contact the editor directly.  Thanky you though! :-)
