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!

Having a huge rant at someone about someone else and opening it with, "To be fair."

You're not being fair, no matter how earnestly you claim that you are. You're being a fork-tongued bastard.

To be fair, I think you are all going overboard with that. I'm just saying...

The habit , incredibly common among my fellow Scots ,of espousing a strong opinion and then adding "In saying that...." and promptly contradicting all they have just said.......pointless and irritating !

Carrier bags in supermarkets, notably Sainsburys, which prove impossible to separate and open. With the entire world, plus disinterested till people, looking on.

Self-service tills. Nice idea, effing useless execution due to the perceived need to treat everyone like complete idiots. "Unidentifed item in the bagging area" No it's not. Here's a clue, it's a BAG you stupid patronising machine. - Aaargh!

Presumably, Frobe, they look on disapprovingly because you haven't brought your reusable bags.
