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'd extend that to just glitter. Horrible stuff, and a pointless micro-plastic to boot.

People who join a Teams training session 15 minutes or more late when the training part is over and they've moved on to Q&A and ask "when does this start?" and "could you give us a recap?" Also, chat notifications from meetings you've left which continue even when you've closed Teams.

I think that goes for Zoom, Skype for Business and MS Teams as well as actual meetings. To turn up late is rude for a start but for the chair or facilitator to have to recap or go over what has already been discussed is a pain.

One for the facilitator/chair to grow a spine and say firmly "You'll have to listen to the recording, I'm afraid"!

A certain large online retailer is still selling 2019 and 2020 loose leaf diary refills.
I nearly bought a 2020 pack in error. It was only when check the page size dimensions that I noted the date. Does anyone really buy old diary refills?

The Co-op advert with the two boys playing guitar and "singing"/shouting an awful song. Can never find the mute button quick enough.

[On the subject of Christmas songs, has anyone heard Robbie Williams' Christmas latest? I can't recommend it 🤪].
