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!

You can unscrew cafetieres though, Zorba, though they are a big of a bugger I agree!

Eh? Why would you clean one of them? That's like cleaning the inside of a kettle....

The kid going up and down the footpath on his electric scooter. Over and over and over. I'm not sure if this is more irritating than a non-electric one...

Neighbours! And their effing noisy kids and constantly barking dogs!

Keep telling my OH that I want to live in the middle of nowhere with NO NEIGHBOURS AT ALL!

Agree about neighbours. Mine have a toddler and she is always whinging. Not crying just whining and whinging. I heard the dad even say to her 'stop whinging you're doing my head in' haha !

I'm not sure that being forced to eavesdrop on neighbours having really fucking inane conversations with their friends and families is any better than kids yelling. Mind you, they probably find our constant table tennis noises really irritating too :)

I'm just intolerant of everybody and everything. This is why I love running on my own, in the middle of nowhere in the peace and quiet!

I probably just need one of those special pairs of "mother's ears" which seem to be able to block out the screaming, shouting, whinging and whining of all children.

Yes, I'm a miserable old bag.
