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!

There are some things we men are never meant to know Jen. Pessaries are one. The purpose of Pot Pourri is another.

Pot porri has no purpose, teaboy. It's just a smell.

So is a fart. But that isn't a mystery and is usually far more entertaining.

I thought the purpose of pot pourri was to give boring people something to do, by spending time and money shopping for something pointless and then arranging it in little bowls to collect dust?

Properly boring people make their own pot pourri. I've never quite understood how it's possible to get flowers, even dead ones, to smell that unpleasant *beingsick*

Dammit!

Not to mention that pot pourri inevitably gets knowcked over by blundering males with no sense of the space around them, which is why we don't have any - pot pourri that is,; there are always plenty of blundering males around our house.

I listen to the radio for about an hour a day, and half an hour of that is talk-only. So why have I heard that ghastly Sindy bird screeching its mating call four times in my airspace this week? I see what becomes of girls that just wanna have fun, and the consequences aren't pretty or fragrant.

As a male, I will concur with V-Raps opinion. Mind you, most of them aren't pretty in the first place...
