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!

I am grinding my own gears by worrying my holiday, which doesn’t even start until tomorrow, will be over too soon.

Discarded litter! All my runs seem to involve picking up litter, this morning it included 3 beer bottles and a plastic cup discarded not 50 yards from a bin.

+1 Mrs Jigs, litter drives me up the wall. I considerably startled each bunch of checkpoint volunteers on a recent race by tipping far more sweet wrappers and gel tubes and other miscellaneous race detritus into their bin bags than one person could reasonably expect to consume.

People who don't live up to their promises.

I was told at work that my manager and the department lead supported my application for an assignment in another department, which is for 1 day a week, for 6 months.

Once I got the assignment offered to me, they backtracked, and said that they'd only grant me 4 week trial to make sure it didn't compromise my work. Utter idiots. I guess the others can have the nice 6 month assignments and I...erm...the crumbs?
