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!

Cheats.
Or, to put it another way - people who knowingly break rules because they think the rules either don't matter or don't apply to them.

The fact the card shop has NO cards addressed to an ‘aunt’ - ‘auntie’ or ‘aunty’ is the only option.

Not being able to attend a family funeral with OH today because my constant coughing would be bound to upset everyone.

Dog walkers who think it's acceptable to walk their dogs off leash on a busy cycle path... And who then say things like "that's what happens if you get in the way, Snookums" to their dog. No apologies to they cyclist who had to come to an uncontrolled stop to avoid going over the dog. Nor any recognition of the runner (me) or two other pedestrians who had to come to a halt and wait for them to sort their dog out.

Walking on the coastal path yesterday with our dog (on a short lead), we stood to one side to let a runner past. Some people coming the other way had their small dog on an extendable lead, didn't reel it in in time and the dog snapped at the runner's ankles. "Sorry, it's not our dog!" they called out ... the runner just gave me that knowing look of despair!

[I know my dog wont chase or bark at runners but I always move to the side and hold her harness if she's off the lead just to make sure and to give the runner confidence]

There is a special place in hell for people who design a business process that involves person A downloading an excel template, populating it, then emailing it to person B to key into a system. Just design it that person A keys it directly into the system and B approves it!

[ Duchess, you are showing a degree of clarity of thought that practically disqualifies you from all sorts of things. Be careful. ]
