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!

The sound of next door sniping, bickering and full-on arguing every single fucking day in the back garden. Every fucking summer. Shut up or fucking divorce.

I got taken upstairs to the office at work today(Supermarket) for losing the plot at colleagues for not social
distancing.

It was just a chat. A lot of customers are very bad too. In my wee four hour shift hundreds of folk come within two feet, never mind two metres.

It’s the old folk I bother about, as I’ve treated myself as being infected from day one.

[My sympathies Ally. I was astounded by the way people got so close today, on my trip to the supermarket this morning]

[McG, I've combated that for a while by blocking out my diary every day for an hour at lunch, just marked "Busy". Then if someone does send me an invite I can legitimately decline on the grounds that they never bothered to check availability. Whether I do decline depends on what it it's for, but it's been helpful.]

[Yeah - I did that. I have it booked in. If I query a booking, I get 'But it was the only time everyone was free']

This bloody clapping and banging of pans

[Yes, I know, I’m miserable. I just hate joining in things, especially when I’m being socially bullied]
