Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Dear Holland and Barrett you sell your magic potions, surely you should know if they are safe to take. I have no idea if unicorn tears with goji berry is safe to take with aspirin and I have neither the time or inclination to find out. As they will do harm to person's bank balance and unlikely to benefit them I will advise not taking them until you can be arsed to do the research.

Put your glasses on. Or are you angling for another fortnight on sick leave?

If you address me by my surname only, don't be surprised if I don't immediately realise you're talking to me, and don't respond. The way you do it also sounds really aggressive.

So you've had a meeting just the two of you did you? That must have been fun, discussing all the stuff I'VE done for you which you are supposed to be doing, since it's your job and you said you would. Must have been a nice short meeting.

Oh, and you can fuck *right* off asking if any of the 'academic' people can join a Skype conference about promoting the event you're supposed to be running. Why are you lot 'constrained' on working evenings when you fucking get paid for running these events and the academic people don't? All the events are in the evenings you fucking numpty. Have you been taking classes in how to piss people off who are supposed to be helping you in their free time round their day jobs?

In fact, looking at your email, the 'academic' people are me and one other PhD. And we both already run another event each, by ourselves, in our spare time. So your request is even more insulting than I previously thought. You are a pain in the fucking arse and I'm going to ignore you until you shut up and learn some manners.

There is no good reason for you to be 'super tired' after being off for two weeks. There'a NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU! Stop going on about it, I'm embarrassed for you.

I'm going to sit at my desk for this skype meeting with a student so that she realises I am a grown up. Of course, I'm not going to remain tucked up under a blanket in my bed at 2.30pm.

Ensuring you go through life pleasing yourself first and foremost - yeah that's great. As your employer I'm delighted to have someone so young in the team who knows their own mind and won't let pesky things like requirements of the job they're paid to do stop them. Crack on love.

As much as I appreciate that you are in one of your helpful and accommodating moods I can't help feeling a little anxious that it will not last long and you will be rapping my knuckles again tomorrow.
