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!

A lawnmower sold as 'suitable for 650 sq metre lawn' with a 10m power cord.
I don't have (a) a lawn anywhere near that size or (b) power sockets strategically located every 10 - 20 metres

I keep putting my mask on when I don't need to, i.e. when alone in the office or just because I've picked it up to put it in my pocket.


Ha ha Dio, I had to wear one at a race registration on Saturday. We were several minutes in to the race before I realised I was still wearing it...

I wonder how long before one of my 'so-called-mates' would have said something..?

One for the Senior Moments thread perhaps.

Fragile Do Not Bend
[I always thought it was my (long) hair that blocked the shower drain but since we got a hair trap for the shower, it turns out almost all of it is Mr F’s short hair. It’s easy to tell as his hair is blond. I think most of my loose hair comes out when I brush it.

On the other hand it’s my hair that clogs the vacuum cleaner brush :) ]

Always, Dio. Whatever the display says, you can reliably add 10 or 20
minutes every time!
Fuckers on trains either doing loud video calls or coughing incessantly and not wearing a mask. Stick em all in the wanker carriage, I say
