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!

Hanging around for ages because someone says we're leaving "in a minute".
Giving up and going home hungry.
Getting a call asking for a lift, tell them I'm leaving then.
Get to meeting point. Sit for 15 mins. Radio silence from person.
Drunk people making gestures as they go past, or asking if I'm a "special taxi".

Sigh
Got an email from Sky to say that my broadband contract was about to expire. The link to renew in the email didn't work so I rang them. In the process I found out that because I'm renewing, they're going to send me a new router - even though the current one is only 6 months old, and also theirs - and when I said that it's absolutely fine and I don't need a new one, their response was basically "tough - we're sending you one anyway".

I can't be arsed to go around and re-programme all the wifi codes for everything again so soon, and it's not like I can just sell or bin the new one as under their terms the routers now remain their property. Such a complete waste.

Whoever decided it was a good idea to have the A1M closed from South Mimms at the same time as the entirety of the M25 that side from the next junction.
Want to go east? Piss off.

Eventually had to go A10-A120-M11-A11-A14.

A section of one of my eyebrows is going grey and it’s getting to the point where I’ll have a bald patch if I keep on just pulling out the grey hairs.

I’ve never felt the need before to spend money on eyebrow grooming but now I think something will need to be done about it. I’m just not sure what.

When you stop at the motorway services and you choose a spot away from everyone and someone parks right next to you 😡 (Having said that, Mr SD would be the person to park next to someone else. He says it's a man thing!).
