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!

Some people could actually do with a strident little woman with a Scottish accent telling them that their shit stinks, their liver is gangrenous, their diet is repulsive and they could do with halving their weight, Jason. Not tinkering around putting diet Vimto in their vodka :(

Unfortunately, we're a bit short on strident little women with Scottish accents and fake medical degrees around here ... ;)

My doctor is a strident little Scots woman. For a long time I thought it really was you Vrap and you were just pretending to be in Cumbria.....

I could never be a GP. I'd be exactly like Gillian McKeith, telling people plenty of home truths and would probably get struck off on my first day :-)

She'd 'try' 'more often'? How many bloody drinks does she have? (admittedly coming from someone whose last drink involving a mixer may well have been last year sometime).

Being told I have to telephone two women with epilepsy, force contraceptive, pre-conception and pregnancy advice upon them, and log it in their medical records, so that we can get maximum sodding QoF points in that domain.

The husband of one of them has had a vasectomy. The other has premature ovarian failure.

I'd rather be doing monthly pop-in-and-see visits to all our old folk.

Fuckwits skiers who can't control their speed barrelling down a green run, in complete disregard on who they might collide with.

And concussion.

The annoying twat three rows along who won't have his mobile on silent. Instead every time a text comes in, it makes a really annoying loud ping like a sonar pulse. Hockey Girl and I are currently plotting him a mischief.

Date nights. I know people have busy lives but the whole concept of a "date night" really irritates me for some reason. It seems to imply that you make an effort that night but not others. Just typing this up now is getting me annoyed. It is also extremely Americanised tosh and really winds me up.
