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've had that conversation this afternoon with Mr and he takes my point. I have promised to be tactful ;-) e.g. "Ger'off my property!!!"]

The idiot who put his vape fluid on the table next to the salt and pepper when people were eating. The result was 2 of us tried a drop as it was called Hotcandy and had a pipette top. We thought it was chilli sauce in a trendy bottle. Neither of us smoke and ingested nasty nicotine and other crap. I was freaked out for hours. The bloke's wife told him what had happened. He removed it for a bit and later I noticed it was by the salt and pepper pot again. Utter wanker.

Adverts for things such as dandruff shampoo or sanitary towels which advise that they are up to 100% effective.

Well of course they bloody well are FFS. They can't be more effective than that can they?

What I want to know is their minimum guaranteed effectiveness. Not much point wasting money if they don't have any minimum...

People who don't understand the difference between RAM and flash memory, but think they can lecture tech companies on how to improve their products. Sorry, fella, what you're whining about has nothing at all to do with the actual problem with implementing what you want.

Our local radio presenter that bangs on about the weather with frequent references to summer. FGS we're a month into spring, of course it's not hot and sunny every day.

@shyfire - leafleters walking across my front lawn drive me mad too. I'm going to try and block their passage with prickly shrubs.

The BBC constantly spelling 'main line' (noun) as one word.

I was cheeering from the leisure centre at about mile 22 yesterday.

What really wound me up were some of the other supporters not paying attention and nearly taking out some of the elites whilst waving those blowy up cheering things. They were watching the other side of the road and leaning over barrier as the fast guys were at 22m and not paying attention. It was really winding me up!

and the guy net to me on the mini megaphone ...if I had a pound for everytime in a three hour period he said "you got this". I know he was trying to be supportive but after 3 hours I really was ready for shoving the megaphone where the sun don't shine!
