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!

Two things:
Flush toilets that make it more difficult to do a half flush than a full flush. I wee more frequently than I poo, and I suspect that is the case for most people. Therefore the half flush should be the default option & the full flush should require more effort.

The number lock on keyboards. The default option should be that it's locked on. Who the heck uses it for its other purpose?? I have to turn it on twice every morning to log my computer in at work. Does my head in!

(I never use the number keypad, never been able to get in the habit.)

Touchpad devices that use an alphabetical keyboard instead of a qwerty one.

WHICH PART OF THE BIG RED SIGN SAYING "DO NOT SWITCH OFF" ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND?

Won't be able to check until Monday whether £4,800 of chemicals have been destroyed by somebody's carelessness.

Fumes at work that could have been avoided if the sealers and painters had been booked for Saturday. They told me the manager wouldn't pay the Saturday charge so we had to suffer the nausea. The manager's on holiday of course. A big, fat f**k you to us not on holiday is how I see it. Git.
