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!

[I misread that ^^^^^ as FACIAL Transplant so was rather surprised to find that the artical was a "little" different to what I had anticipated!😲]

I noticed that the other day in Greggs. I just wanted a cheese and onion pasty and got a load of questions about cakes and coffee, cold drinks etc etc.

I get, "Is there anything else I can do for you today?" when I go to the building society or call my insurance company. I want to spend as little time as possible in these places at the best of times, so a bit of a stupid question really.

When the question is phrased as "Is there anything else I can help you with today?", the response I often *want* to give is "Well, you haven't actually helped me at all yet"...

I have been tempted to say "Well a quickie or a blow job would be nice" but I don't think that is what they mean.
