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!

Cycle lanes that vehicles are able to park in. What's the point of a dedicated cycle lane if it can be parked in?

Also:
Pedestrians who walk in or cross dedicated cycle lanes on footpaths without looking for 'traffic'. These lanes are usually VERY clearly marked, so it's not like they could have missed that it was a cycle lane.

On the back of that - the seafront at Southsea.

This has, going inland from the sea: a prom, a wall, then a double cycle lane, then car parking bays, then the road. It's a fecking nightmare to cycle along the cycle path as
a) pedestrians wander along it
b) pedestrians walk straight across it to their parked cars
c) cars routinely attempt to kill you

Neighbours. They constantly piss me off. The latest annoyance is that they have moved their massive trampoline next to the fence so now they can see into my garden and kitchen. I intend to ask them to move it back but am not expecting a positive response. If that is the case they might find a regular supply of cat poo mysteriously appearing on the stupid thing

Fitness bods on social media telling us earnestly that 8 hours sleep is a necessity if we want to recover properly, prevent x, stop y, not develop z etc etc.

Could they come round mine and explain it to my child ?

Oh, and on a tangential theme - the "Women Mean Business" networking event. If you were really serious about business you wouldn't alienate half of your market.

That health advert that says "You may have stopped noticing that cough but if you've had it for more than 3 weeks it could be a sign of lung cancer. It's probably nothing serious, but..." :-0
I don't think anyone gets "mild" lung cancer.

People who send you a picture pasted into a word doc. Arghh! You can just send the picture file, you don't need to attach it to Word. Why why why?
