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 automatically knock about 50 points off my estimate of the iq of anyone who uses it.

My running page that I follow on facebook - I am certain that it'll be this week when the question,

"When I go for a run, should I go left foot, right foot then left foot or start on right foot, then left foot , right foot " will be asked

followed by the universal answers

"I'll vouch for a Harrier ruck sacksac in this instance" or

"No, I havent tried those shoes, I've got xxxxx"

Aarrrrgggghh !

"We are where we are" = we are in the shit and it's my responsibility but I don't want to admit that; let's just look forward so you can help get us (me) out of this cesspit.

[AOB - have you been on our club Facebook page, as I recommended the Harrier vest to someone last night 🤔😂😂 In my defence, they were asking for recommendations and it is bl**dy good kit 🙂].

I tend to use "We are where we are" in a passive aggressive way when someone has monumentally cocked something up, and expects me to fix it 3 weeks later. Because calling people f***ing idiots is somewhat frowned upon, sadly.

when, in a work email (which should be to a higher standard) the sender references a work colleague by using "@[name]" as if they're on social media

Sainsburys. Last visit a couple of months ago, nobody on the checkouts, lengthy queue while they waited for a member of staff to arrive. This evening was slightly better, as there was one lady on the tills, presumably not having much fan dealing with people who'd been queueing for 20+ minutes.
