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!

Vineyard churches that don’t use the word ‘church’ on the Facebook page title, leading me to see it and think they are an actual place that grows grapes.

Three things are grinding my gears today.

1. This notice that appeared on the entrance to the uni library and the uni cafe today.



2. People who think that vaping is so much better than smoking that people don't mind walking through smelly clouds or having smelly clouds blown at them.

3. People conducting their own conversations with people in the row behind them during a lecture. Today we were listening to a patient describing their cancer treatment and effects so it was even more appallingly rude than usual.

People ‘cleaning up after their dog’ by manoeuvring the excrement into a plastic bag then dropping it back on the ground or footpath or hanging it on a fence or a tree or bush.

Some of the dropped bags were within 50 steps of a dogbin, FFS.

LOL @ Lizzie. This is my life. Thought the idea was that if I do the cooking then someone ELSE should do the washing up. Turns out I have to wash up enough to be able to cook, wash up during cooking, wash up a bit after cooking, and then wash up the stuff that has been plonked in the kitchen between cooking episodes. Occasionally I get an anguished scream that "WE never wash up after dinner" because I haven't washed up enough and someone is aggravated by things that THEY have plonked in the kitchen.

Back on topic..... Has anyone actually confronted a person sitting in their car with their engine running? Sometimes they even have their window open. I always want ask if they need to have their engine running, but I always chicken out. There may be a very sensible reason, but I suspect some people are so bloody lazy they can't even be arsed to switch the engine off. In modern cars you even need to disable the engine auto stop/start to be able to sit outside the [insert place here] waiting for [insert person here] with the infernal combustion engine irreversibly incinerating irreplaceable fossil fuel in order to assist melting of polar ice caps and add to noise and other pollution.
