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!

The replication of data. Why oh why has one of my local running clubs started a spreadsheet for coaches to see who has a first aid certificate and a health and safety certificate. If you have a current licence, you have done both.

On that, I'll add - people who scrape the excess butter from the knife back into the butter tub.
Please explain. I don’t understand the concept of excess butter. 😉

People who don't understand the difference on an email between 'reply' and 'reply all'. At work today, an email has clearly been sent in error to many, many people and loads are clicking 'reply all' to ask to be removed from the group.

Our global company’s whole email system was brought down for an afternoon because of a crazy reply all email chain, including lots of folks replying all to say “stop replying all”. That was a fun day.

We get enough of those e-mails. It usually needs a senior manager to step in and say, "just delete it," to stop more people replying.
