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!

People ignoring an out of office from me and expecting me to do work for them. Yeah I’ll do it but it’ll be the electronic equivalent of a three year old’s crayon scribbling.

The word rightly as in:

... as Plato rightly says ....

meaning: I am sufficiently wonderful that I can sit in judgment on Plato.

We've got too many appointments on that day so I was trying to bring some forward. I managed to move one out of four patients I contacted, and then you went and put someone else in the gap I'd just created.

For fuck's sake, there are two things I can do to make it better and I've done both of them. I have no magic wand. Repeated requests for furhter assistance will be met by the same answer. I AM NOT HIDING THE MAGIC CURE FROM YOU.

Adults on scooters. And I don't mean the Vespa or Lambretta type ... I mean the foot propelled variety. Flippin' arseholes !

Misuse of the word "myriad", as NOT in "there was a myriad of options".
