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 would cure seasickness by substitution, wouldn't it?

Sitting with your feet crossed in the hospital waiting room, then nearly falling flat on your face when trying to stand up because you're wearing hiking boots and the laces from one are hooked on the other...

[Don't think he's calling him a tosser for being fast, Stu, it's for then having a little jog around the course while other people are still completing it. Getting in the way of folk who are still running doesn't sound like good etiquette be it parkrun, x-country or a world track 5,000]

Yep, thought that was clear. Admire the speed but don't admire the "look out its me, I'll just run through you all even though I've finished, you can go round me" none sense 😩

[fair enough if they are behaving like an arse, getting in peoples way etc. I often finish, collect my token then do an extra lap as a warm down, maybe run with my wife if I catch her on her last lap, chat to/encourage friends... I'd be horrified if anyone thought I was being a tosser]

[An early finisher who jogs back without getting in anyone else's way to run in with a later finisher or the tail runner for their cool-down is another matter and very much Not Being A Tosser :)]

Clothes and shoe shops that always put the men's stuff up or downstairs. Don't you realise we are lazy and can't be bothered to come in unless what we want to look at is right inside the door?

Shoe shops with kids' shoes upstairs used to incense me, specially when there was no lift. Not sure how they expected mums with toddlers, babies and double buggies to buy fucking inaccessible shoes. Or a disabled parent for that matter.
