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!

XB - or they're American. My former colleagues at the evil US bank were forever " reaching out" to people. We Brits called it "contacting"

And my gear grinder for the day - gyms.

1. Stop with the inane music
2. Don't put subtitles on the tennis, it covers the score.

3. It's a treadmill, for running. If you want a walk go outside.

4. It's a treadmill, what are you doing? I'm not sure 10 minutes walking interspersed with 30 seconds running at 10k will achieve.

5. Shut the fuck up. If I wanted to listen to vapid girls discussing clothes I'd watch TOWIE
6. If you leave the gym with pristine make-up and not a hair out of place, you have not worked out.

7. I have a months membership. That's all I want at the moment. Don't try and flog me a year's membership pretty much as I'm walking through the door.

There's more, a lot more. I did like the jacuzzi and sauna, they were good. Quiet, perfect.

The BBC jobsworths last night who threatened to throw me & my friends out of the Radio 2 Bon Jovi gig for dancing - it was a rock concert and we were threatened with eviction for standing up and dancing! I still can't believe how utterly rude and disrespectfully we were spoken to - like we were about 5 years old.

Because she's following some right twats and getting some skiing in. I know I shouldn't but I actually find her quite attractive.
Wrong thread for that admission.
