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!

'Oh go on - it's Christmas'

Fully aware of that, but no thank you still means just that.

ERM, it's much worse if you're the one who is minute-taking.

Incidentally, I was supposed to be minute-taking this afternoon but ended up working from home as it was cancelled (hooray!). However, I've got another one tomorrow morning instead (boo!).

Fierce and Festive Fleecy
Microsoft Outlook 365 webmail:

Hit the tab to go into uni email. Am met with message saying ‘it’s a good idea to log out’. It logs me out. Hit the tab again, have to type in the whole fucking email address cos it doesn’t talk to any kind of autocomplete on my Mac. Takes me to the login page, type in my uni ID and then my password, then it deigns to take me to my email. A hour or two later it decides I should have logged out and I have to go through the rigamarole again.

‘New sign in experience’ is exactly the same with different colours on the screen and an extra box saying ‘stay logged in?’ and an extra box to tick ‘Don’t show this again’. Needless to say, both these pop up EVERY time...
Fucking clowns.

Yes Fleecy! Mine is exactly the same.

Plus, emails I've read not showing as read.

[make sure the emails you think you are sending are actually going somewhere too - colleague thought she'd sent me an essay to proof-read - twice - but it was just sitting in an outbox and not going anywhere ]

It’s also set up as reply all as the default unless you change it, cue a whole load of stupid irrelevancies followed by people getting their knickers in a knot about getting the irrelevant reply all’s...
