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

I was out running in the fens this evening. I suspect the locals still call them "pantaloons" rather than pants.

If my long trousers are my pants, are my pants my knickers?

If my long trousers are my pants, and my pants are knickers, what the hell am I wearing?

[And given that you can graft some fruit trees to one another ... you can actually grow a pair of apples on a pear tree ... whether said pear tree also contains a pear of partridge, who knows? ;-) :-p :-) ]

Smoking. Disgusting & invasive. We all got booted out for a fire drill. Standing in clumps and of course every smoker shoves a fag in their gob. It's only a tiny percentage of all of us standing around, but we are all subjected to the dirty stench & when you're stuck in the middle of a crowd, it's hard to escape from.

Right now, corporate wankers on their lunch break during a work-jolly awayday, invading the space, tranquility and clean air of paying guests of said hotel.

We have a couple of sets of doors between offices where I work. Most people are pretty good but there are a few who have absolutely no door etiquette.

I have followed colleagues towards the said doors and they either don't hold them open or just don't bother looking around to see if anyone is right behind them. I could be holding a tray of hot drinks for all they know!

The other is when I hold the door open and people just pass through them without a 'thank you.' Or worse, they continue a conversation with the person they are with as if I should be there as their door attendant.
