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!

Yeah, happy belated birthday implies the birthday is late. It's not. The happy wishes are late, therefore belated happy birthday is correct.

Right now there is a bird that is tweeting incessantly and has been for about 2 hours or so. I would like it to stop.

People who run on really busy roads when there's no pavement. It seems to be a regular thing around here, there'll be some silly sod running on the left with headphones on. Even more annoying, today I saw someone running on the road when the pavement was wide enough to drive in.

Making a curry for tea, I’ve managed to splash a few drops of curry sauce on to my favourite white/blue top. I’ve sprayed with Vanish and washed it but you can still see yellow curry stains.

Folk who pour water on the sauna coals then walk out after 20 seconds.

Tie-dye is your friend, perhaps.

Builders that bury plastic, bricks , thermalite blocks , polythene etc . Why, when they have mechanical diggers to carry all the crap and dispose of it properly. Instead they just chuck a few inches of top soil over it and then lay turf on top😡 lazy and couldn’t give a toss attitude .

Calls "from my network" advising me they were going to block my sim.

Didn't take kindly to being called a prick, and tried to threaten saying the call was being recorded.

People like that need something deeply unpleasant to happen to them.
