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 who say, "I don't reach for them" when selling stuff on FB Marketplace sites. It really annoys me, though I'd struggle to say why 😂

I find it mildly irritating too. But not as much as "I just want back what I paid". No, the item now has another owner in its history and there's no evidence to support your claim that you didn't actually use it so it's no longer worth whatever you paid. Especially if you're going to whang the cost of postage on top of what you paid.

[Yes, I know, and rolling my eyes and scrolling past is what I do.]

The whole spiel around the Virgin Galactic launch yesterday on their live feed....it's a rich man's rollercoaster ride dressed up as a tool to allow people to conduct science in microgravity for a few minutes

Of the 4 people who went up yesterday, two of them introduced themselves as science people who were going up to evaluate something or other to make it sound serious....instead what we had was both of them going "Wheeee" as they did a cartwheel

That it is much more expensive to just replace lenses in almost new frames, bought from same optician and perfectly happy with, than to buy complete new glasses!! I have a drawer full of redundant specs.

Ditto DoricQuine, it’s quite ridiculous.

Clearly you don’t buy expensive enough frames…

Someone is doing some banging building work nearby. There is one loud thump every so often with a long enough pause in between to make you think they've stopped.

Now they are tap-tap-tapping in nails every so often. I keep thinking my wachine machine is making a funny noise.
