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!

People saying that they will do something knowing full well that they have no intention what so ever to do it.

If you don’t want or can’t do something than just say so and avoid so much frustrated waiting for nothing to happen.

(gotta love a HMHB straight-to-the-point song title. Didn't they also sing I Hate Nerys Hughes?)

(whenever we drive into london and go past a certain place next to Madam Tussauds, I *have* to sing "and Brian Moore's head looks uncannily like London Planetarium" drives Mr Frag nuts :-) )

Supposed pet psychic "diagnosing" pet problems from photographs on tv. Very grrr.

If they come on again I'd be tempted to send in a picture of one of my old cats and after they'd spouted their hogwash, counter with "actually, they're dead" death

You beat me to that one Dvorak.

I chuckled that the psychic was able to pick up the likelihood of new jobs on the horizon for one of the pet owners.

JK *chameleon*
On my last day "in" the office before two weeks of leave (first since October), my manager suggesting I write a guidance document (not my job), and asking if I'd like to cancel my leave, in clear attempt at guilt trip.

That I managed to keep profane language out of my response is a significant achievement.
