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!

You don't reuse passwords? I don't know how you remember the password for anything.


Don't try to remember them. Use a password manager of some sort.

The word "bug" close to the word "running".

People who don't keep email threads together.

We're doing a trial which involves loads of reports from external labs, each report arrives on it's own email with the ref number in the header. I now have 10+ emails with references on and 10+ emails that just say 'comment' in the header. Now I have got to match them all up to make sure nothing is missed. FFS.

The energy efficient light bulbs seem to give a lot less light than their less energy efficient equivalent (I've got an uplighter ceiling light which uses G9 bulbs)
