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!

That is seriously annoying Phil :(

Something that I keep meaning to put in here; film adverts. Why do they insist on saying "out November three or coming December eleven" or what have you instead of third, twenty-fourth, eleventh etc?

When a lot of american tv series have to use an English character such as a cop from London they either have to a cockney accent or the other extreme that he's that posh he has a silver spoon up his arse.

People thinking ZONE2 is recovery work when in effect it is enduance work and still a crap attempt to improve performance when you should be recovering

ZONE1 is active recovery FFS (at a very maximum very low ZONE2 (sshhh))

If the concept is too hard for you take a bloody rest day !!!!!!!!!

Drivers who think their hazard warning lights are actually park/stop/drop off/pick up wherever you fucking want lights.

Printers that cannot find the stack of paper that is quite clearly loaded in the tray!

"The printer is out of paper"

TROT&AD, the "hazard light switch" is only installed as a job satisfaction measure for BMW factory workers. Otherwise they'd be no point in fitting the orange lights at all on BMWs.

People who ask questions not to find stuff out they don't know, but to try and show everyone else how clever they are and how much they DO know.

We had a Q&A and one bloke asked a question and rambled on so long about stuff he DID know that I'm not sure he actually asked a question at all.

However that was kind of fitting, because our CEO is a proper politician who does not answer the question he's asked, but the one he wanted to be asked with the answer he wanted to give.

So he was able to easily ramble on about how great we were doing now that he had set such a great strategy in place.

This exchange must have taken about 15 valuable minutes of my life.....

A local favourite race that sells out quickly, moving to a ‘no deferrals, no transfers’ policy.

I know deferrals and transfers are extra work for them but with my history of injury I don’t want to risk losing my money.

HSBC Bank telephone banking. PC Banking is fine but telephone is not unless you really want to speak to someone in the sub-continent who can't grasp the basics.
