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!

Back from a hospital blood test - fortunately this time they managed with no issues (last time they really struggled and had to use a baby 'butterfly' needle). Afterwards was given tips so it should be easy next time (as I'll be having them very frequently): basically drink loads of water or squash before coming and avoid tea or coffee that morning. It would be useful to tell people this before they come

When clothes shops ram so many things on a rail that you can't see the stock, or move it along the rack to look at it. Just pointless!

Having to call the staff covid helpline to confirm if I can return to work tomorrow night; listening to five minutes of recorded messages before being put in a queue, spending twenty minutes getting to no.1 or 2 in the queue, then a recorded message saying "there are no call handlers available, please try later".

Four times.

Now they're closed.

And the hold music is fucking awful.

Frocks being called "gowns". I don't care if it's correct, I still find it annoying.

[Agree with that, Vrap. When I was looking for a suitable item for the cruise Mr Ness and I went on, I found that description added a few extra pounds to the price too! ]

That advert with the annoying child telling off the adult for rinsing stuff before putting it in the dishwasher.

If you don't clean the filter you don't get to say whether stuff needs rinsing or not!!!
