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 American presidential elections. F&&K me they've been at it for months, couple of years all told I think the whole thing is. Least ours, as painful as it is, is over and done with in about 5 weeks.

And if that's not bad enough once the result is known there's another 3 months until they actually change over. Much prefer ours, loser out, winner in on the actual day itself.

People who insist on saying "presently" when they mean "at present" or "currently" or even just plain old "now" :-(

My gears are ground by something that I don't even know the name for. I'm going to have to call it Funky Spelling.
I think it dates back to that Noddy Holder calling his records things like "Cum On Feel the Noize" He'd never get away with that nowadays.
It seems to have spread all over the place and there's one in particular that's driving me bonkers.
In Penryn, Cornwall, there is a kids soft play place called Raise the Roof. But they haven't spelled it that way, oh no. It's Raze the Roof. Funky Spelling. Burning down buildings since 1972.

Getting all sorts of drivel and dross bunged on to my evening surgery and being pestered to see all of them ahead of the decent people who had made appointments because the receptionist had read some story in the Daily Mail about a kid who died of being made to wait its turn.

And a note, originator unidentified, telling me that I prescribed a Black Drug and Black Drugs shouldn't be prescribed in the community, as if I wasn't capable of reading, inwardly digesting, and ignoring what Scriptswitch says about fashionable eye vitamins for myself.

Getting a prescription request from a consultant and seeing "nocte" with an accent on the e written instead of "at night". Pretentious. And WRONG. Makes me wonder whether her knowledge of her medical specialism is to be relied upon.
