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!

+1 Dr K, but it's August and there's nothing else to write about.

RD, at first glance I thought you wrote "on the spot fire." I agree with that!

Vrap I wasn't aware that there was a link between having a fully functioning brain and getting an erection.

Clearly not judging by some of the specimens that procreate in this country....

I hate it when you get a "sorry we missed you" card from a courier company and they tell you to phone to arrange redelivery but they won't give a time and they won't deliver at weekends so you have to drive to their obscure place on an industrial estate to collect it and you can't find the place so have to drive round the whole estate really slowly twice with people honking and gesticulating at you before eventually finding it disguised under another name, and then you get stuck in traffic on the way back.

(On the positive side, I now have new trainers :) )

Privet. It stinks, can't understand why anyone grows it.

The last hour at work where the clocks crawl as slowly as possible towards the end of the work day. I've been here since 8:30 and it's my last day. I want to go home!

Runner Duck - that was also on my mind as I ran past SEVERAL cars this morning, there are roads I do not venture down because of it. Winds me up that anyone has to get round and if a pushchair the question strikes me is how? on similar note at work we have had a email, not once but twice because someone parked their motor bike blocking the dip curb and someone in a wheelchair could not get down and was stuck...

that's rubbish, sc, they should have been allowed to move the motorbike then clamp it.

people are only worried about their own convenience, they don't stop to think about other people, or they just don't care.
