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!

I want a wireless headset. I go to Argos and type in 'headset'.

It suggests I might mean 'bluetooth headset', so I agree to that search.

And it goes and returns 414 items that are either bluetooth or a headset.

Not that Argos is alone in thinking that two words are OR where I want them to be AND.

Finding an entire set of bedding still-folded in the washing basket because my son cannot be bothered to put clean washing away, dumps dirty washing on top, and brings the whole fucking lot down about once every six weeks.

Trying to see if I can book a class or a pool session as my gym is now open, only to find that I can't, because it's been taken over by another company and doesn't exist properly on either site. And they don't answer the phone. Hasn't stopped them taking my direct debit though.

I'm actually livid and want to fight someone.

The term 'young people' What's wrong with 'children' - and 'adolescents/teenagers' (if you must) ?

I like using Man Children for those beardie tossers of indeterminate years that seem to cycle with no concern for others, pontificate abut badly made beer, and vape.

Carp, my daughters both do the washing thing. I put clean clothes on their beds for them to put away and the next day I'll find them all crumpled into the wash basket. Drives me mad

It must be a phase they all go through. Mine all did at some point.
