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!

A sore calf
Because I stumbled on a kerb stone
Because I swerved
To avoid a wobbling cyclist on the footpath.

I ****ing hate cyclists on footpaths; if you're scared to ride on the road, you shouldn't ride.

I also hate cyclists on footpaths, and drivers who think adult cyclists ought to be on footpaths.

+1 V'rap and Fitz. Really annoying.
(Give me a slower moving target any day!)

In general, when I see cyclists doing stupid things, knowing that'll fuel the motorist's diatribe.

(Some of our footpaths are also cycle paths, but they are clearly marked as such)

Anyone using their speaker phone or phone's speakers in a public place, whether it's for a conversation or music. Twunts, the lot of them.

+1 for the cyclists on pavements (nearly got taken out by one such on the way home today), also +1 for WL’s post above. We were in a cafe the other day where one of the other customer’s had a 20 minute Skype chat out loud on her phone, so we got to hear both sides of an extremely dull conversation.
