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'd not thought of it like that but that is pretty accurate.

Postman arrived since my previous entry and we have a newsletter which completely typifies everything I dislike about them.

[ maybe I should share my one here for an honest (or blunt) critique before sending? Lottery win? Yes, 3, I think. But total won was <£20, so that didn't even get mentioned ]

You know what's doing my head in just now ? The number of jaunty, upbeat songs that are being reimagined as slow-paced ballads, usually for adverts and usually by soft-voiced, breathy females.

Jeff join me in hating the version of Titanium we have been lumbered with at choir - a dirge like ballad instead of the punchy, positive original.

This NHS is great, but why are some of the admin process so shit?

My GP (via a phone consultation) referred me for blood tests and an X-ray, I get a text from the surgery with a link to the hospital booking system. However the hospital website says I need booking forms for both tests which I don’t have and haven’t been told how to get. Time to file an admin request on eConsult, ho hum.
