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!

There's a Tesco Mobile advert in which they "apologise on behalf of all other mobile providers" for some shit like putting up their rates halfway through a contract.

It really gets my goat and grinds my gears because fucking smug monkey Tesco have not got any authority to apologise on behalf of the other providers.

People buggering off from the shared office, locking their screens but leaving their email logged in and the notification sounds turned up to 11.

[I find a quick hard power down of the unit solves that problem once and for all Salty Dog :) ]

The perennial, or even biannual discussion about whether the clocks should be changed.
Stop it. It’s very boring. And it hasn’t changed anything.

I agree ER, I remember when they tried it years ago and everyone hated it.

Finding that the 20% New Balance discount code I have been sent isn't valid for the decent running shoes.

My kindle opens a new book at the first chapter. I want to start at the cover and work my way to chapter one like I would with a physical book.

Our new neighbours in the adjoining house have a child. This child seems to enjoy pinging the spring-type doorstop in their hall. It is REALLY loud and REALLY annoying.
