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!

Optimisers. Stop nitpicking in my airspace and just fucking choose a good-enough option and get on with it.

I fucking detest the use of the terms Libtard and Snowflake and that infuriating, hateful phrase "Suck it up buttercup".

Usually used on social media by rednecks, Nazis, the 'alt-right', Trumpites and supporters of the Confederacy, white supremacists ... basically arseholes !

Not being able to stop emails from locum agencies coming into my inbox. I haven't worked for a locum agency since 2011, and have never worked for most of the agencies that contact me. Those that I have worked for, I've told by 'phone not to contact me. I've tried the usual things. Blocking them doesn't work. Registering them as junk mail doesn't work. None of them has an unsubscribe option. I've reported the latest batch as a phishing scam. Let's see if that helps.

People who leave reviews on shopping sites (Amazon, in my case) - NOT criticising the objective merits of the product, but of their subjective experience with it.

Yes, it sucks if your second-hand book has a few torn pages - that's what marketplace feedback is for. Is the book any good!?
