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!

I'm with you.
The sound of children makes me feel angry and violent in a way that no other annoying sound does.

I've had children, and I still sometimes find myself hissing, "Your child is a brat. Suppress it before I kill it."

I read the posts ^^^^^^^^ and I thought - "grumpy old gits - kids are nice and cute"

Now I am sitting here with the window open listening to the neighbours children and their friends. I am begininig to agree, can there really be that much to screetch about?

+1 for neighbours and their whiny kids. Mine are *constantly* arguing and bickering (the adults as well) right from your basic sniping and whining at each other - and the girlfriend has one of those whiny voices that goes right through you - to full on screaming at each other while the kids cry in the background. Always, always outside in the back garden whenever I'm out there. I'm completely unable to spend any time out there because of them.

I have actually reported them to our local safeguarding officer after a particularly nasty overheard ruckus where the kids' crying and howling turned to actual screaming :(

They have gone quiet now. I didn't hear a machine gun so it was probably done with chocolate cake or something equally temporary.

Bar stewards who use the Self Service checkout tills when there is a massive queue, and pay by a credit card for 2 fucking items.

You only spent 90 fucking pence and pay by by card ffs!!!

The BT Home Hub advert: its message that girls should change to please their boyfriends and the speed with which the girl agrees she will. Grrrrrrrrr.

Every time I think BT have made the worst advert that ever existed they raise the bar.
