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!

But but but but but "SYNS" just means "equivalents", it has NOTHING TO DO with being a value judgment :-O

And heresy just means "choice", and the swastika is nothing but an ancient Sanskrit symbol meaning peace, love, and fluffy kittens.

All diets, and hearing people refer to foods as good and bad. (I used to do this, so I hate my previous self)

[If we can never refer to foods as "good" or "bad", how do we indicate what we like? For example I've just eaten some of my home-made mushroom and pepper soup. I'm quite happy to refer to it as good :-) I could also say tasty, or delicious, but, ken, "good" does.]

Dvorak it's not able whether food is good as in tasty, nice, enjoyable, bad as in that was rank. It is the mindset that certain foods are bad (E.g. cakes, biscuits, chips) and some are good (usually salad, veggies) and if someone eats a piece of cake they say oh I've been bad or I've been naughty today. No you ******* haven't, you've eaten a cake, so what. Like I say I used to do it, it's what I was taught by the adults in my life, my children do not hear this. Food is food.

People who keep adding to a line of returned shopping trolleys that is spilling l out of the designated returning area and blocking the 'road' of the car park because it's closer to them than the shorter line that's not blocking the 'road' (and they might have to push the longer line out of the way a bit to get to the coin releasing doofer of the shorter line)

:reprise of earlier rant about exercise treated as punishment for daring to eat or food being treated as some kind of offence requiring penance (in the form of exercise or fasting or general self loathing):

Anyone who says that eating I like will 'undo' whatever sportsing I've recently done. Will it? Will it really? This croissant will remove all training benefit? I won't be faster or stronger or have any more skill or understanding? It'll take away all my WSW points and finisher medals? So it's essentially a time travel device? Does it only work on sports? Can I keep one for when I make a tit of myself and undo that as well?

Fuck off.

People that eat huge boxes of popcorn and large fizzy drinks at the cinema and then leave their debris on the floor, why do they feel the need?
