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!

The idiot who thought it would be ok for me to have cold/hot therapy on my calf without using a protective layer between the ice block and skin.
Oh... that would be me then! Chilblains in May 😡

My daughter, in pain, trying to get a GP appointment. She's currently number one in the telephone queue. She has been number one in the queue for FORTY SEVEN fucking minutes and counting.

When I think I've done a pretty decent run but my watch tells me it's been 'unproductive' ... or even 'detraining'.

[I like that my watch just tells me what I've done, without commentary.]

Oh, and the GP surgery was closed. An hour on hold being assured every couple of minutes that "you are in the queue, please hold and we will be with you shortly".

Having a shared takeaway.

1) the horridness of having to choose between 100 Chinese dishes that are all more or less the same
2) the fact that after you've made your choice, everything gets put on a table for everyone to share, so you have to choose again and don't particularly get what you wanted, if you happened to have a clear preference.

People who decide to have their wedding ceremony outside. I haven’t put any sodding sun block on, as no bugger told me it was outside, and now it’s too late to go back to my room to get either sun block or sun glasses.
