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 like to think that someone will thank me someday for saying, "That gives you a BMI of 26.5, which means you do with LOSING a few more pounds, even if your granny is twining on about how skinny you are."

Gym users who can bench press the equivalent of a double decker bus, but are too weak to turn off the shower properly.

I wasn't very impressed when Sam's paediatric consultant sneezed and blew his nose all the way through his appointment on Friday.

Why do doctors come into work with infections (and are fairly likely to be erm seeing already sick people all day) when they'd be telling anyone else to stay at home?

Doctors are rascals for never taking time off sick. I was at my desk when I had mumps, and the day after having a hernia repair, and I know someone who calmly went on doing an ENT clinic after her waters broke and she started having contractions. We're brought up with a strong sense of obligation not to dump work on our colleagues. Unfortunately.

Why do the adverts before the film at a cinema have to be so ridiculously loud? We're in doors for goodness sake! We're not at Glastonbury!

Being expected to treat people with respect and as equals and all that when they come in with their brain full of weed.

Gym users, using a treadmill that I could otherwise use for a nice structured hill session with a 5 minute 5%-7% interval pyramid set, in order to...walk....at 0% gradient...while reading or texting.

I don't even know why this annoys me but WHY does American t.v feel the need to take every decent European t.v show and make an american remake? Do they really think they need to do it again better? (They nearly always fail and make a very bad version instead0, simply for money? Can Americans really not watch European programmes even if they have subtitles?
