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!

Being the Stop Smoking Counsellor's prescribing technician at 6.30pm on a Friday.

"There's another visit just come through tee hee hee." I don't think the receptionist on tonight is bright enough to realise that a nervous laugh is a disciplinary offense.

My spelling gears are so ground that they're mixing up s and c. I wonder if there is any way I could do someone a serious damage by getting those letters mixed up in a nicotine replacement therapy prescription.

Moving to the next level.

Every wretched team, wing, department, silo, cavern, centre of excellence, you name it, in my company seems to be doing this almost every week.

They just mean they no longer have their feet on the ground.

I am going to move to the next level by running up a hill some time today. My feet will frequently be on the ground.

"You need to communicate the story".
Me: "Can't I just tell them?"

"We've listened to your requests, and that's partly why the decision has been made to merge certain teams back together, to help create synergies".
Me: "And facilitate trimming of fat in 12 months time".

And my son. Didn't eat half his dinner and is now raiding the kitchen.
