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!

Search engines!!!

Using Autotrader looking at cars for my son, and we set a max price limit. Why do they then display cars above that limit??? Especially a gorgeous looking thing that my lad goes "I like that one!". I'm sure you do, but it's more than a grand over what I wanted to spend, so I look like a git when I say No! :-(

Banks where everything grinds to a halt when their computer system breaks down. "Yes sir, I know that you have sterling and we have euros, and we both have a calculator. No, I'm afraid we can't do anything until the computers are working again..."
Grrrr.

useless job agents.

oh was put forward for a job in southampton. over a week passes and he doesn't hear back. emails agent who replies saying the company is interested him but is considering other applicants as they think it's too far for him to commute. we are prepared to move. in fact, going and living by the sea would be lovely. did anyone ask him whether he was prepared to move? that'll be a big fat no!!

My Facebook newsfeed being full of links to videos, tagged "Nothing like THIS has ever happened before," or "THIS will really blow your mind," or, "What happens next will bring a tear to your eye."

Life's too short to scroll on by.

And those photos of newly born rodents in people's hands. Put that baby hamster down, stupid. Its mother isn't going to want to eat it now that it smells of you.
