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!

Cold callers yesterday. Not a new thing but after giving their spiel and trying to get their door in the door, I now know why because cold is how the house felt after having the front door open for that long.

Etymologically-challenged people who think they're being clever by calling American (or other kinds of) football "handegg".

I'm not all that keen on people posting photos of stuff they're going to eat, or are in the process of eating, but it's even more tedious when they post photos of stuff that they "can't" eat because they're doing fat-free/sugar-free/intermittent-fasting February and bang on about how hard it is for them/how brilliant and energised they're feeling.

Workmates who decide to have a loud chat about confidential stuff in the office using some kind of code then apologies to me 5 times for not being able to share said information until its "official".

I don't give a fuck, but if you really don't want to be dicks about this, then don't chat about confidential stuff in the hearing of others. Otherwise I will think that really, you *DO* want to be dicks about it.

People who park next to the pump at the petrol station, then just go into the shop.
There's parking spaces for people who don't require petrol.

The trend for ankle skimming trousers in winter. I don't want cold ankles. Or cold feet for that matter, since you can't wear proper socks or shoes with ankle skimmers.

Oh, and the fact that the makers of ankle skimmers seem to think that legs only come in one length, so ankle skimming trousers don't reach anywhere near my ankles.
