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 would sooner sleep in one block than take 9-10 hours for 7 hours' sleep. I would like to be up at 7:30, not 3:30 and 9:30.

Alternatively I would like to be able to use the small hours productively.

the incredibly stupid people who "reply all" to global distribution lists when they receive an email in error

the people who reply all to these people telling them to stop replying to all

people who change the title of these emails so you can't even create a rule

having to wade through 640+ emails from stupid people in case there's an email actually meant for me in there

That would be quite handy. we had one a few years ago which crashed the whole email system- it made the news! the most depressing thing is the job titles of some of the idiots replying all to say stop replying all

Umbrellas. Especially the golf ones that are like a some with a diameter equal to that of the pavement and completely obstruct the carrier's view of all fellow pedestrians.

Or tilted backwards by someone stood on the central reservation and therefore obstructing the passage of teams and buses behind said carrier.

Me: "what time did the accident happen?"
Customer "Literally, about 5 minutes ago..."

So it was either literally 5 minutes ago or about 5 minutes ago or you have used an extra word. Literally.
