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!

Ding Dong! Jambomo on high!
I get that too Carpathius.

Mine is when people think that making the best of something, generally work related, is pretending that something is a good idea and completely fine when in actual fact the whole situation is utterly ridiculous and doomed to failure from the start.

It drives me mad the lengths folk will go to pretend that X is a great idea when X is quite obviously a steaming pile of horse manure, but they are too scared to tell the boss that so they nod and agree whilst I say what. I think and then everyone thinks I am the negative one. Even when I am proved correct three months down the line, they never forget the negative tag.

Just reading back to catch up. On the subject of projectile vomiting _ I can still recall a trip to Temple Newsam in Leeds with our friends twin toddlers when one of them said he didn't feel well - almost before he'd finished saying it I swear sick came out of him and must have spewed 6 feet up and forward - seen nothing like it before or since He then proceeded to smile and carry on as if nothing had happened.

Jovi, my nephew was known as Oscar the Vom when he was little. He hit the windscreen from the back seat of our car once :-O

When my sister was 6 years old she ate a large bowl of home made brandy butter and drank a large bottle of coke. This caused an effect that wouldn't have been out if place in a horror film.

Really gets on my thrupenny bits when someone is referred to as a legend. Usually a sports star eg luis suarez. He is not a legend he is alive/or was once alive. Merlin is a legend! Rant over. Soz
