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!

Yeah, I agree. If nothing else, it might actually stop people switching from fags to vaping. Plus nobody wants to smell those sickly scents they use, what about people with allergies?

(If it does happen I’m seriously considering carrying an aerosol of fart spray (available from Amazon etc) and using it when deemed appropriate).

Yes. I read that and thought "why should everyone else be subjected to smelly clouds of vapour?"

The computer crashing just as I've finished a time-consuming task and before I've saved it.

Especially when I can hear them yickering away on the 'phone while their patients wait and wait and wait in the waiting room.

"Men get breast cancer too, you know."
"Men suffer domestic violence too, you know."
"Men get raped too, you know."
"Men have body image problems too, you know."

Yes, I know. But can you please allow a conversation about WOMEN to last for more than 30 seconds without trying to appropriate it?

Drivers that go straight ahead from the left turn lane on a roundabout.

Drivers that appear to be going straight on at a roundabout when, in fact, they are turning right, and you're supposed to *know* this magically.

Drivers that don't indicate that they're turning when approaching a roundabout or on a roundabout.

Drivers that are turning right on a roundabout but exit into the left lane, rather than the right one.

Drivers that straight-line a roundabout. At speed.

All these items may be related.

[I spend a LOT of time on roundabouts...it's MK!!]
