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!

This one was bad enough to have called in sick, except it wasn’t a working day for me this week. Doubly gear-grinding.

Vile cheap cup with coffee granules on a roof top and more crap to go into landfill.

Job applications that require you to fill in their form rather than submit a CV and demand that you supply subjects and grades going back to secondary school and account for every job you've ever had and any period when you weren't working.

Snide comments about leaving early when I go at 5pm from people who don’t arrive in the morning until two hours after I get there

Tell em you got in at 5am :)
I used to get snide comments when I was temping from some of the lazier permanent employees. I used to tell them I was paid per hour and why should I work for free. They spent more time being snide than working too, the wankers.
