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!

That allegedly adult people still get exercised over a photo of the breasts of a 30 year-old woman. The real point is it's extremely ill-mannered of anyone to take pictures of people when they haven't said you may, but are the royal threepennies worth this much fuss on either side?

Appointments that aren't properly honoured!!!

Yesterday, I called a well-known high street opticians at about 0910 and made an appointment for 1050.

I arrived there at approx. 1048 and some other woman had basically just walked in and was giving the receptionist her life story, she was requesting an appointment, ideally for that day. The receptionist offered her an appt. for 1100. In the meantime, another receptionist dealt with me where I loudly stated my appt. time of 1050. We were both walked down to the waiting area at the same time.

So how come then the 1100 appt. lady got seen before me. Drives me fucking mad! Bastards! Why bother having an appt. system?

Drivers that endanger themselves, and me, by driving up alongside me on a two-lane exit ramp from a motorway, about 50m from where it turns into a one-lane exit, and playing chicken with me. I give way, sounding horn continuously, flashing lights, as they pull in front, and greet me with a guilty flash of their hazard lights. I'd take up their invitation to play chicken if I was driving an ex-military land rover.

Being asked the same question over and over again because I'm not giving the desired answer.

Especially when the question is, "I don't eat anything, so why can't I lose weight? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?" and I'm trying hard not say, "Because you're a glutton as well as being a liar."

Government agencies who unilaterally change the rules after the fact and don't bother telling you until it's too late to do anything about it - just so they don't have to pay out. Also same govenrment organisation who insist on a blind person signing every entry on a time sheet and the timesheet itself when she can't even see it (the timesheet is for her support worker who we have to pay even if we don't get the money back from said government organisation) GRRRR
