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!

People -usually young men- putting their feet on the seats in the trains. Round here (south London) it is a growing trend. I used to say something but now there are so many doing it I have given up. Which makes me angry with myself!

RS, re your post about cars pulling out of side roads on to main and driving in parallel. It's bizarre. It happened to me yesterday too. It's the first time and I was completely shocked by it. Just utterly idiotic.

I'm always ready for it CStar - it happens too often. I'm in hi-viz with lights on at the slightest hint of dull sky, so there's never any excuse. It's particularly bad at the bottom of a long hill where I've picked up speed and another place in the same suburb is a black spot for it.

Yes car drivers of HENBURY, BRISTOL - I'm talking about you.

Impressionists. Not the painters -mimics like calshaw or whatever his name is. It isn't clever, it isn't entertaining it is just annoying!

2.5 hours of programme for a 20 minute race.

Oh, and the insistence of including sponsor's names in the race name. It is "The Boat Race" not Buy My Melons Boat Race. And the London Marathon is the London Marathon. And the Grand National isn't the Crabbies GN.

Why do farmers put huge piles of manure right by footpaths making them shitty? Why do they put stock feeders across footpaths when they know it's against the law and they'll have to move them?

because some farmers don't like footpaths?

(nb in the interest of balance a couple of our local farmers are brilliant and make it as easy as humanly possible for walkers to follow the footpaths on their land. i know it's motivated by trying to keep said walkers on the footpaths and not wandering all around the place but it's still lovely to experience :))

I'll forgive people marking the anniversary of the death of a parent on facebook. Or here. But for the rest I'll be a miserable stony hearted bitch too. And I can't even blame taper madness...
