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!

which TBF is okay - no Froby we know what the angle is, but apart from the Olympics, Homeland,Peaky Blinders, walking dead, Agents of Shield, Sleep Hollow, Bates Motel and the occasional film I find it compulsive viewing.

Mind you it has got Molly J baking - her 1st attempt at bread on sunday.

Cyclists who act like dicks on the road and then think that car drivers are in the wrong.

This morning I was riding about 20 metres behind a professional commuter (decent bike, wet weather gear, high-vis, etc) when he pulled out to overtake another cyclist without even looking behind him. The car that was behind had to brake and beeped his horn at the cyclist. The cyclist gave him a load of abuse and gave him the finger when he caught up with him and then continued to try and stare this driver out as they were moving along. The trouble is the cyclist was completely out of order, the motorist was well within his rights but some cyclists (like some car drivers) clearly think that they can never be wrong.

The current fad for using "I" when "me" would be more appropriate. It gives I very ground gears.

Though it's not as bad as when a former colleague of mine decided that because he'd learned the word "spliff" he was entitled to make like a Rasta and go, "I and I ... ".

Following on from that fad, V, there's another slightly irritating fad of affecting regional accents as a way of appearing "of the people", or covering up the paucity of one's own RP upbringing.

The person at work who used my towel this morning after having a shower. Thankfully I have a spare towel to use when I have a shower after my run at lunchtime. I wouldn't want to share someone else's arse rubbings, can't imagine why anyone else would want mine.

I used to have that in my last place. REALLY pissed me off. Why would you want to wipe your hands where I might have rubbed my arse, armpits or fanny ffs?? I had to keep my towel on the back of my chair to stop it happening.

People whose mobile phones leak noise such that you can hear odd words from the caller, plus the entire response from the person being called. Such as "oh, yes, *something* sex tonight *something*"....person being called says "mmmmm", caller says "be a shame to go out and *something something*", person being called says "right then"!

Plus it was at the sort of pitch that cuts through any thought process I was trying to maintain.

If you're the one pootling along with a massive queue of cars behind you, then you're the one being a dick. Not them.

People who ask for help that can very easily be obtained by looking at a map. At least, if they do it online where they have ready access to maps.
