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!

To get my modest pension I have to fill in a form showing that I am not filthy stinking rich with an illegally high pension fund. It annoys me that the form is necessary, and it annoys me that many people completing it will be far worse off than me. It also annoys me that the figures are hard to come by but are certainly miles beneath the threshold where it matters.

American Mormons who wear name-tags saying 'Elder Smith' or 'Elder Jones' but who look about 18 accosting me in the street to say 'hey have a great day and have you heard the word of Our Lord?'. Eff off - your religion is based on the testimony of a habitual liar and treasure hunter. Piss off. Piss off.

Waiting in a massive queue to buy a few things and having someone get to a checkout, faff around for ages, finally pay and pack their bags and then just as she about to leave decide to um and ah over which fags to buy. There is only one other till open, I get in pay and go, she is still deciding and the queue behind her is fuming.

I remember someone interviewing Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks (might've been Whiley or Laverne) about a tune he wrote around forbidden love. She questioned whether it was about falling in love with a married woman. Most fans like me would know that Shelley is gay and I can't believe the DJ didn't do their homework.

Pete Shelley's reply was something along the lines of "Er no, not at all" with a laugh.

Similar to the "expresso" issue I know has been mentioned on here before, I saw a coach emblazoned with the company logo of "Coaches Excetera" yesterday. It's fricking etcetera, hence the abbreviation being etc, not ext.

There was someone on the Today programme this morning who insisted on saying "pronounciation" (several times). Annoyed me so much I had to switch it off.

"Excetera" begs for a definition that features poo :)
