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) The use if the term "1st world problem". Usually a term used by smug bastards who think they are better people than you. It's ludicrous to write off peoples suffering, problems, issues etc because they could somehow be worse than they are.

I am guilty. But it's usually when someone is whinging about a scald injury from cooking polenta or a lute-based "catastrophe".

I live on Anglesey, little island surrounded by water - I work 400 meters away from the Irish sea, but what grinds my gears is the twat in the corner of the office who has to analyse the weather day in and day out and the effect it will have on my running/cycling/dog walking etc etc

ITS RAINING, ITS WINDY, ITS FKN WINTER WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!!!!!!

Say No To Pork Sausages
Indeed, I have a desk next to an unfit prson who moans all day about the weather, she parks the car no mre than 20m from the office entrance (coplains if it is further away, max 80m) and parks her car on her drive, walking distance 2m.

She waddles.

"MADISON, TANISHA, JANISHA.....GET 'ERE NOW!"

When we chose names for our kids, we always thought "would we be happy bawling the names across a crowded supermarket"....no, really. Same with pets' names, too.

Ha ha, I've been caught having a rant ah!!!

Jono and Say No To Pork..... she does actually cycle to work (2 miles) but cadges a lift more often than not, she waddles too and she claims she runs but this has never been seen. She is approx my height but weighs 9 stone more than me - the gripe really started when she got a place in VLM this year and has been talking training plans ever since - training my arse - she is using every excuse possible to avoid going out of the door - mostly the weather.

I should even this up, I also work with aguy who is forever on diets, 5:2, atkins, he is always on about how he used to weigh 11stone, 25 years ago. Currently 15st I keep saying that he is 50lbs overweight, put 50lb of lard on atable in front of you.

Don't diet, exercise properly, 200 cals a day.

Easy

he does go to the gym, cross training plus weights, and sitting about in the jaccuzzi!!!!

He has a big red fat face, blood pressure I shoudl think, and a filthy temper.

He stomps.

2000 or 200? I can't talk - I was 40lbs heavier a year ago (and starting to head back in that direction if I'm not careful). ;)

My rant of the day: noisy office foot-tappers. STOP PRETENDING TO BE ROY FOOKING CASTLE!
