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!

Ah yes, Mrs Jigs...I've had that today too!!

It's disgusting, but if you *have* to do it, please do it where it has no impact on others.

Those that want to smoke should be forced to wear goldfish bowls on their heads so they keep the disgusting smoke to themselves ;-)

Yes, and asses ears and a tail, and a sign saying ‘kick me’ on their rump.

Spreadsheets that think the last row is not the last row with data but thousands of empty rows later.

Don't format the empty cells Chris. They won't be treated as empty if you do!

I don't. That's something else that annoys me that every time I add some new rows I have to format a dozen columns.

Forgetting to lock the screen on my Garmin and at the start of the run then rubbing my arm and hitting the screen and stopping the recording of the run.

Trying to complete a race registration using Race Roster. It looks like another useless piece of American software that doesn't like my prepaid registration number. More unnecessary e-mails to send which even makes Active and Eventbrite look good.

Packets of seeds.

If the seeds are going to germinate, you get hundreds in the packet and it costs about 50p.

If they are not going to germinate, you get about 10 and it costs £2 or more.
