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!

Drivers pootling along at 40mph, or less!, on the A96, totally oblivious to the 20+ vehicle tailback behind them.


Talking of the A96, I remember when there were temporary traffic lights in Nairn, caused serious X-rated tailbacks. Took an eternity to get home from work.

Supermarket delivery trucks slamming doors, leaving engines on, making one fcku off load of noise.

Whilst we're here, supermarket staff collecting food from aisles during peak hours for delivery. loads of the bastards in their blue trollies. Do this at night time ffs.

good mood today :)

Took the car in for its second annual test first thing. Was told that it will be done by lunchtime. Returned at 1.00 pm to find that it had not been started and that it would be done at 4.00 pm. Eventually left the garage at 5.30 pm.

I still need to sort out two tyres and go back in 3k miles for something else. As a result, I was unable to work today and my wife was late for a meeting this evening. If they said come back at 5.00 pm, I could at least have gone home and done some work today.

The poor bastards probably get up at 0400 for practically minimum wage as it is. You want them to work all through the night for shitpence an hour too.

No, but I'd like them to give way for customers, and perhaps not be unbelievably rude towards customers in scooters who are unable to get past them due to them blocking aisles.
