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!

Yahoo groups demanding my phone number before they'll let me log into a recycling group using my new computer. Also some shit about the same password being used across all devices.

I can now not use this group as I won't give my tel no out. Is it just me who feels really squeezed and manipulated by technology?

Online ordering with no 'cancel'' button. Goods with takeaway today/delivery within 7 days splattered all over them yet then when it comes to order a non negotiable delivery date 6 weeks pops up after you've paid.

All the election leaflets through my door every day. Just leave one at the bottom of the stairs and everyone in the building can refer to it as required before they go and vote.

Pavements that suddenly stop forcing you to cross the busy road they're trying to protect you from.

Cars that don't let you cross when they can see that the pavement's run out.

Westbury-on-Trym in Bristol has lots of roads where the pavements suddenly disappear.

When somebody suggests you do something and when you do it, they are the first to criticise you. Ffs.

Fragile Do Not Bend
Busy roads with no pavement on either side (an annoying downside to living in the countryside).

The absolute lack of straight honest discussion in the workplace about processes and people.

My gears are being super-ground by this current super-fashionable fashion for being super-this and super-that.
