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!

Ha - just logged into my Hotmail and more rubbish customer service.

Viewing a house tomorrow in east Bristol with Andrews estate agents.

They've just sent an email with a property they think I might also like:

Churchill retirement flat in the desolate end of north Bristol.

Err - I'm moving from the green end of north Bristol and I'm not going to be retiring from any of my 3 jobs for a fair old while. Also, I'm looking for a house and if it has to be a flat, a ground floor one with garden.

The person who fucked up the trains by throwing a bike onto the line. I'd like to slowly disembowel them with a teaspoon.

Fuckwits who vape inside pub.

Vaping is bad. Not as bad as smoking but stll bad.

Cunts.

Good job somebody was brave enough to tell the cunt to go outside.

Vaping ans smoking should be banned from all public places.

Hang them.

I understand some of the problems aroun BBC pay. I don't why the BBC send people like Matt Baker on holiday and then film it as if it is a wildlife program.

The random woman on the news who has called GOSH 'more than once' because she 'wanted to get her opinion across to them'.
Why is your opinion on a news story you very likely don't have all the facts on so important that you think that 'phoning up a hospital about a patient you have no connection to is acceptable?

The whole situation has been dreadful. Carp- I'm with you. A world-renowned hospital being targeted in this way is shocking. Of course the parents want their baby to survive and thrive- that's all any parent wants. But it's been ugly and divisive and it saddens me immensely that experts who keep their oaths of confidentiality and doing the right thing for the patient can be subjected to such abuse.

Perhaps this is more of a gears finally lubricated? ;-)

Every time the new(ish) Sainsbury ad comes on SWMBO tells me the music is from James Pond. It isn't. After a number of conversations on the subject and a video search, she now agrees.

[Could some be so good as to remind me of the title and band in the 'Even better than Popcorn/Hot Butter' video posted up recently ~ my google-fu has failed me :-( :o ]

[gonks go beat?]

I can remember that sort of thing but I can't reliably type my own name. I've taken to telling people the 'p' is silent.
