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!

Online maps changing their scale at random as you move the pointer around.

(Is there a way to stop it?)

Christmas cards - the purchase, completion and posting of.

Plus, the addition of stock phrases such as 'We must meet up next year' when neither party has made any effort to do so in the last 10 years, and is unlikely to change this m.o. due to a comment in a card with a robin on it.

This cough that I get every night just when I want to go to sleep. That and the grot that needs clearing from my nose and throat in the morning. 😷

We only send Christmas cards to immediate family that we haven't seen during the year or to old friends who live abroad. That's about 6 cards. Are people offended? Who knows...

The fact that you get woken up about 6am in the morning, but breakfast doesn’t come until nearly 9, and you still don’t get offered a tea or coffee. (Not that it affects me this morning, but it was the same in the last hospital I was in.)

Hospitals are the worst place to be in restwise when you are ill. I have actually been woken up to be given a sleeping tablet!!!

Rowing coaches on the Thames. They are either on a boat shouting in a megaphone or cycling along the towpath looking at the river. They are then shocked the someone would be running.
