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!

Sigh
Colleagues who call you without warning from their own "Teams" meeting, even though your status is "busy".

I ignored the call, and I've had no message since, so it can't have been important. So glad I didn't pause my lunch to tell them to FRO.

[That's shut, Fields and Owlie :( That's one good thing about my job - overtime ban won't happen. Although technically it isn't 'overtime' as we have a separate contract with a different employer for it.]

The advert for Octasmart mattresses and toppers. It’s so long! I imagine most people would have dropped off through boredom before it ends.

Not helped by the ad summarising itself after it ought to have ended - and repeating most of what went before.
