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!

The word "excruciating" when used by two or more consecutive patients to describe their aches and pains and niggles. Doesn't make me think, "You must have something serious," it makes me think, "You're a raving hysterical hypochondriac."

Hearing Theresa May's invitation to retributive spite in a news extract from the Conservative Party Conference :-( I really hate the idea that victims of crime have any say in how a criminal is punished. It encourages the worst kind of reactive hysteria and Daily Mail "justice".

Stalkers following you around the internet and even onto a running site so they can read your posts even though they don't run. A bit sad don't you think?

My 'phone going off when I'm out on my bike. I should really leave it at home, then I wouldn't find myself thinking, "Can't I even get out for a couple of hours on my bike without someone trying to contact me?"

The colleague not respecting my days booked off... They get discussed, I then enter (expensive) races only to find I have to put up a fight a few days before said race to be able to actually do it GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

My phone never goes of V-rap... Then again, I usually leave it at home, where I have no signal, so it cannot go off :p

At present, silent phone calls or ones where you answer, hear an office environment or similar in the background and they hang up without saying anything and do this 3 times or so a day, mostly witholding their number as well.
Even wose when they don't do the usual 8 rings before the auto dialer moves onto the next number so after 20-30 rings, you think it's important as they're persisting so rush from what you're doing to answer it and click.

I agree with JenL, hanging is too good for them :) :)
