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!

Make-up free selfies for cancer awareness. What does it have to do with cancer exactly?

Oh *that's* why people are doing them. Not very effective then as I had no idea.

Coming to work and finding my in-box ablaze with overdue "urgent" tasks that were dumped in it yesterday when I wasn't here.

And the colleague who will spend five minutes refusing to do a one-minute task that he thinks is someone else's responsibility.

I have twice today heard the word "discluded"
Not that it is a word, it's an absurdity.

Ha ha ha I was coming on to this thread to say the same thing Oysterboy. Though I was more annoyed at the fact that all womanly things virtuous, has to be about women being stripped down I.e no make up, the dove adverts going on about natural beauty and being naked. It's just as bad as the ideals they want to oppose - it's still all about how the woman looks and appears.

If women want to wear make up then they will, if they don't want to then they won't. It's about women doing what they want not some fake idea we all crave to be natural and undone but evil society doesn't let us. It's bollocks.

I am also feeling rather disgruntled about the number of quizzes appearing on Facebook.
"I took the Star Wars quiz and I got Yoda."
"I took the dog quiz and I'm a chihuahua."

None of them are amusing. Please get stuffed.

Deodorant spray aerosols. They should be made illegal in public places like swimming pool changing rooms. I don't want to breathe in the chemicals you use to mask whatever pong you think you produce or are going to produce. Really invasive and impossible to get away from in confined spaces when you're naked and trying to get into your clothes as soon as possible to escape the disgusting cloud. Bloody space invaders!
