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!

Being excessively tired. Why is it wrong to have a little snooze on your desk at work? I would like to do that right now.

We need a ban on people calling their children what they like. It's time for an Iceland-esque approved list from which parents must choose.

We've tried an open free-for-all system and people have proved they just can't be trusted with it.

So I dislike liars, false people.

I'm a bit marmite. Anyone who has met me knows I am what i am. Any attitude here on Fetch is the same in real life. Yep if I call you a wanker here I have no problem saying it to your face.

I am sick of watch people faking who they are to be liked. False false people who make claims about things and in reality are bitching and stabbing you.

I think it's the Royals, they're still there, centuries of PR experience/

I can't see many other people getting away with, being born in the right bed as a means of making an extremely good living at the expense of other people, a career.

[Actually, WS, I think many/much of the wealthier people in the country are the place where they are exactly because they were born in the right bed and make a living at maintaining that separation from the rest of society.

That said, I'm not sure that (when it happens) elected or earned privilege and wealth as proved any better as a model of generosity than the hereditary alternative.

People are basically people. Good 'uns and bad 'uns are spread pretty evenly, I've found.]

Chap in wanky pink trousers quizzing the au pair (?) about whether they had washing tablets
Rude chap in front of me at the checkout who didn't put the thingy behind his shopping
Really fucking annoying checkout chap who made conversation but I wish he hadn't because he was a twat

Women and Range Rover Evoque's as they seem to have the same mentality as when you put a man in a BMW.

Nope, anyone in a Range Rover really. Particularly a white one.

If you elect people you can be rid of them. Not a question of good or bad. I have no idea how good or bad this royal family are, nobody does, it does not matter. The idea of a royal family is incorrect.

Prof Cox. Very easily swayed by some rich people's vanity, money making projects.

Has he had his face filled in?
