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!

JenL, I don't mind arrogant geniuses but arrogant idiots piss me off. Mind you, who is a genius can be a matter of opinion :-P

My boss, who asked me to do something in June, which I almost finished in July. At the end ofAugust she emailed me a document she had written and ordered that mine be made the same format etc as hers. Well you can just bollocking bugger off madam!

Cold callers.

Even more so since I never give permission for my details to be used for anything.

And when I do phone a call centre - Bank, TV etc - for anything I don't want them to try and sell me everything else they do too.

Cocks on holiday who think we all need to hear their absolute bollocks by means of them shouting at their kids.

Slapping on suncream and then shouting "I don't want to see you for 3 hours" is not being a good mum. There are plenty of signs stating that children should be supervised. Your children are not of an age to look after themselves.

But then again, supervision might interfere with you and your hubby sat on your fat arses and smoking, eating and drinking. God forbid!

People who make things plural that aren't. I think it's a bit of an internet thing and it's supposed to sound cute and childlike, but it just pisses me off.

A recent example, on Thursday I'm playing footballs. Get fucked.

I make a point of never using superfluous plurals.

Simples.

Having to decide which mediocre secondary establishment to send LMG to. Looks like it will be lesser of 3 evils

When you can hear people on the radios spot clicking in their mouths makes me want to vomit. Classic example is dr sarah Jarvis on radio 2. When she talks all I can hear is her mouth spit. It makes me want to barf. Has anybody else noticed it ?(not necessarily from her?)

Doctor's surgeries who think it is OK to schedule all appointments for run of the mill children's clinics during school hours. I have to take SmallFry out twice on a Friday afternoon before half term for a) asthma nurse and b) flu jab. Why could they not a) be after school - I have to leave work early as well don't ya know and b) done at the same time?
