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!

Inane boring chit-chat at the Gym, or more specifically in the sauna/steam room/hot-tub afterwards.

Once I've done my run/exercise etc, I like to crash in there and relax.

I do not want to listen for ages to two old farts talking non-stop about fucking caravans!!!

Weinerdog - So true. We get at least one a week. Yet more bloody bags to go in landfill. We are now collecting a bag full of bags!

Oh - plastic bags! Supermarkets where people go and purchase twenty plastic carrier bags filled with cellophane-coated boxes containing bags filled with foodstuffs. When I see people picking up a bunch of bananas and putting it in a plastic bag to go in the trolley and subsequently into a disposable plastic carrier bag I want to go over to them and say ...... "oi!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!"

Plastic bag landfill - eargh!

bananas are the only thing I DO put in a plastic bag because then I don't have to touch them :-)

Rm03B clearly has a bigger kitchen bin than me .... supermarket plastic carrier bags for the inside of the kitchen bin. Then again I don't have 3 boys so I suspect I produce less stuff to go into the bin in the first place!

I absolutely don't mind my bank blocking my card as I just tried to buy something for safety reasons but after speaking to the lady on the other end of the phone an hour ago who said it be fine to re-order in five minutes and the thing is still being declined is starting to annoy me.

You have to pay for carrier bags in Wales so people re-use them more. BUT, we now have to buy dedicated bin-bags, so are there any fewer bags going to landfill? Dunno.
