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!

People spending all day sharing what I call 'doom and gloom' articles on Farcebook.

Computer systems.

Spent weeks and weeks working on study assignments for work. Emailed to work and when I tried to open them all the scanned bits in the appendices were labelled “for your protection we have not downloaded this” or words to that effect. Now I’ve got to spend several more hours that I don’t have trying to sort this out at home.

People saying 'date night' when they are married. It's not a date you penis. You jus don't get out as much as you should.

+1 for holibob, and also the use of 'holidays' in the American sense of Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hannuka and any other highly commercialised event for which they have been brainwashed into exchanging gifts, throwing parties and decorating houses.

On LL's theme, I encountered a woman coming out of a house today with a fancy 3 tiered cake in her hands. I asked about it and she said that it was nappies! I presume she was off to a "baby shower" - another of those dreadful things from across the pond.
