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!

My housemate's habit of putting on the news and proceeding to shout responses to statements at the TV.

And his habit of getting stroppy and giving the silent treatment when I tell him to shut up. (Although I like the silent treatment. Long may it last)

Not as bad as “should of”, “could of”, or indeed “would of”.

Loose instead of lose, affect instead of effect, etc.

A friend at work is dyslexic and her minutes last week were interesting. We all just smile and take her for who she is in the knowledge that she's doing her best.

People puffing clouds of vapour just before you pass them and then apologising? How can they be sorry 😡

Putting pre- in front of things when it is already included in the meaning, e.g., pre-book, pre-warning, pre-order.

Quite, ER. I can't fly, no matter how much I cover myself in glitter and BELIEVE IN MYSELF in swirly handwriting.
