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 whispering, talking and generally having their own conversation behind me during a lecture (because I can't hear the lecturer).

Same people laughing at me because I'm nodding a lot when the lecturer says frequently "isn't it" and "we ok with this?". I didn't realise I looked like that Churchill car insurance dog, but I'm acutely aware of it now.

People who advertise second hand bundles of children's clothing as being "boys" or "girls" and not just by size. There is no part of an item of kids clothing that is dependent on genitalia, and I am quite capable of deciding if my children would like to wear the clothing, irrelevant of their genitals.

And any gender specific toys. When SweetPea was born, ELC sold toy kitchen ware (toaster, kettle, iron etc) in colours like turquoise and green. By the time Marigold came along, less than 2 years later, the kitchen toys were all pink. Wtf?

It would be nice to have a day where someone I know isn't scammed. Even my local van supplier had their email hacked and someone ordered £430k of vehicles from their regular supplier, and the vehicles then disappeared. Last night I am sat with a mate in hospital who has had a stroke and can only move one arm and he looks at his phone and finds his email hacked, his password reset mobile number is a different number and I can see Nigerian devices have been added as recognised devices for email access on his AOL. He looked so helpless. I know 2 apparently sensible people who have spent £4k each on fictitious vehicles due to the psychological cleverness of their scammer. And my friends mum, an elderly widow, lost £100s of thousands on an elaborate diamond investment scam and my friends inheritance has therefore gone. It seems a daily event

Giving people kudoses or even comments on S****a for riding in exotic places then discovering they were in their own garage playing on Zwift all the time.

People who type "I know, right" on FB.
People in the office who say "I know, right".

Starting a sentence with 'So', or 'Look,' in a misguided attempt to seize ownership of a conversation.

‘er indoors has got the hiccups right now. Persistent and loud ... it’s really getting on my tits, but perish the thought I mention it. I understand she can’t help it but that doesn’t help it grind my gears any less.
