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 think I did 3M - a quick Google search backed up my point, but I didn’t want to send it on to them as it felt a bit petty, and as they already thought they were right I didn’t want to inflame things more. Fortunately, whilst I’m in the office two days a week, I’m normally only here at the same time as my manager once a fortnight]

Thanks Dio - the comments on the last few pages had brought that clip to mind. You saved me the job of searching for it :)

Logging into my banking app on my new phone for the first time, I don't remember the security code it needs to set up. The app refers me to go to the online banking web page, the online service wants me to generate a security code from the app.

The old phone is at home.

Dio, I went through a similar loop with my new credit card (needed because of Amazon/Visa spat. I'm sure it's just coincidence that the "best" Mastercard out there at the moment is branded from Amazon....!).

Application form accepted, account created on line. Tick. Email received saying manage your account using our app! Download app....
App: Put in your user ID here..... Ah, wait. User ID requires me to login on website to create it.

Website requires me to have account number, card number, and online registration code to proceed.
eMail 1 day later - "here's your online registration number and a PIN".
eMail 3 days later - "here's your account number".
email 5 days later - "Your card number nnnn is being sent to you"
Next morning: Actual card arrives in the post. I'm now in possession of all of the information to set up the app to easily manage my account.

[On the positive side, they did give me a £40 Amazon credit!]

Who my housemate refers to affectionately as Herpes. Although the virus is somewhat more effective than the "delivery" company.
