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 fucking diet coke advert with the woman on the plane. Seems to be on every channel.

They got a whole £1 off me for a battered bit of fudge cake. Duty done: it's Breaking Bad now :-)

I was oblivious to Comic Relief today until a child rolled up to surgery with a red nose sticker on his school jumper.

"What have you done for Comic Relief today?" I asked him.

"Red noses," he said.

Old people who feel entitled to push in front of you in queues purely because they are old.

"A boy shouted 'spotty' at me" An advert that starts off looking like an anti-bullying ad, and ends up making the victim responsible for the solution by changing her appearance (by buying the product). Excuse me while I go into a cupboard and scream.

Queue jumpers are a pain. Half-a-dozen people line up to one side of the bus stop, queue jumper lines up on the opposite. I always make sure I get on in front of them if they arrive after me but someone always lets them board the bus first - why?

Beware of their tactics such us pretending to check the timetable and then remaining where they are or striking up a conversation with someone at the front of the queue.

SP, I'm used to it and sadly expect it in bus queues - though it still winds me up, and if I'm there first I make a point not to let them in.

I was a bit miffed yesterday as the queue jumper was in the supermarket, and I was only buying a bottle of water. She sauntered in front of me as if I wasn't there, but didn't try to push in front of the young man who was also ahead of me in the queue - presumably she thought he might tell her where to go. She also then proceeded to try to pay for her shopping in the smallest denomination of coinage possible, and eventually he cashier had to count it out for her.

Myself, when I think there will be enough time to do X in the morning before I go out. No, there is never enough time and I always end up in a rush.
