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!

"Headhunters" i.e. spotty youths who failed to make it as estate agents and would now like to spray my CV around to anyone they can think of in the hope that if I go to work for a new employer the "headhunter" will get paid a fee for his "work" despite knowing nothing about me, or the employers, or the work that we do.

"Achievement Boards" in the hospital -filled with triumphant displays of statistics so that the top brass can massage their own egos and try to tell a disinterested patient how marvellous it all is. We're not interested in the past, only the present and the future. Curiously enough financial management isn't on there as an achievement because somehow they're £11m in debt -put that on your fucking board.

Where to start - it's been a while, and I may have mentioned some of these before..................

Do not stand chatting by a Zebra crossing unless you intend to cross!

Severn Bridge: 1) Who the fuck decided to allow Card payments in the previous "fast" coin bin lanes?

2) Who the fuck using the Bridge doesn't have £6.20 to cross.

Last night about 6 cars in front of me must have paid by card, all the other queues seemed much quicker. It used to be so much better with coins only for those lanes. May need to consider a Tag.

Do not go in the Gym and spend about 25 minutes on the same fucking weights machine - it's the only one & other people want to use it too.

Everyone else in the swimming pool this evening. Couldn't they see that there were 3 of us actually trying to swim not bob around shrieking, and leave just one gap in the shallow end so we could actually complete a length occasionally. And the drippy (pun fully intended) lifeguard who said she wasn't allowed to rope off just one lane as "The others had paid to use the pool and wanted to use the shallow end". I distinctly remember handing over cash so that I could use the full length of the pool. Bah.

Shit overpriced food in UK days out destinations !! Had a nice weekend in Devon and visited Wookey Hole on way home £59 entrance fee (£19 as I had Tesco vouchers ) brilliant place but the food in cafe was just dog shit. Seriously. Ginsters prepacked sandwiches or hot food like sausage roll
Chips beans. And shit coffee machine. £26 for 5 for lunch Wouldn't have minded paying that for a nice homemade sandwich. Or jacket spud and a decent coffee.

Evening meal was a service station stop KFC or Burger King OR the overpriced cafe again all crap and over priced

Got home last night feeling so so bleurgh !!!!

The fact that Chris Rennard has been allowed to "retire on health grounds" and that Nick Clegg, and probably lots of others, have been lying about what they knew and when. And the fact that this still bothers me when really I shouldn't be surprised by anything like this any more.

Web pages that load slowly, so when I think I have clicked on one thing, it turns out to have been something higher up the page I've already visited.
