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!

using "whom" in a sentence the author has stuck a preposition at the end of.

Fair point Wriggling Snake, but I was waiting for the weather forecast and at least Sky have now reverted back to a consistent time for those. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

People who turn right at a roundabout and don't indicate, especially when you're then nearly rammed off the roundabout because you thought they were going straight ahead as they are indiciating
Even more annoying when they do indicate to come off the roundabout- so you know know how indicators work, you just couldn't be arsed and wanted me to mind read

ALSO

people who stand RIGHT NEXT to the baggage carousel at airports so nobody else can get in, whereas if they all took one step back then everybody could see the carousel and get in when they need to

People who come off roundabouts whilst still signalling right. I could have bloody gone if you had indicated properly.

Yeah - I also hate that use of the word "hack". To me it means either a type of journalist/ entering someone's computer system without permission/ or a cutting action.

It also means a quick and dirty software fix, that you should code properly later but usually never do.

The man who, when coming to speak to my colleague at the next desk, stands with his bum practically in my face.

Actually I have only just called down from being orally confronted by Sara Cox and the right idiotic and odious Kate Botley.

Fecking house owners who let brambles grow out of their hedge so that they grow at shoulder height or above alongside the pavement. Grrrrrr.
