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 who say, "I'm my own biggest critic." HOW arrogant, conceited and mistaken can a person be?

Seeing a slob accompanied by a faultlessly-dressed and attractive young woman.

Jet skis. The amount of noise is in inverse proportion to the intelligence of the person driving.

Friends cancelling plans due to rather watching football. No, I'm not rearranging for the second time, you muppet.

My s-i-l. Loves her kids*

*unless they interfere with her childfree life, in which case she fobs them off onto the nearest person and swans off for a night or two, socialising, drinking and having fun***. And then posts about how wonderful it is to spend rare time alone with hubby **

**altho she did exactly the same thing a month or so ago

***nothing wrong with this, but it feels a bit much when the kids are only ever treated as extras in a photo opportunity to publicise the perfect life.

She really, really annoys me.

That's fair enough WA - I'm aware of a few couples/folks who do this and it annoys me too.

[The staged relationships on social media are bad enough, but doing the staged happy-families thing with kids is beyond cynical.]

Oh I can think of someone who does just that, WA. It annoys me too, and I don't feel disloyal for saying so.

My daughter is currently refusing to go to sleep. It could be the warm weather but, knowing what we normally have to deal with, there is probably some behavioural stuff as well. LD or not, it means my wife and I are unable to get on with any household tasks or essential paperwork yet again.
