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!

I know this is going to sound cold and uncaring bear with me.

When news stories like this come on..... "Police involved in the search for <missing person> have found a body, the family of <missing person> have been informed. Police are, as yet unable to identify the body"

People who say 'spag bol' instead of 'spagetti bolognese' should be burnt, face first.

3 mobile.

Every few months they call me and try and sell me a second contract. I've told them I'm not interested many times. They call from a variety of 0800 numbers so blocking the number doesn't work. I sent them a long ranty emailing basically telling them to fuck off and stop calling me trying to sell me things and since then I've had 3 voicemails from their customer services department looking to discuss the matter.

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

being called TWICE in recent weeks by the double-glazing company that very recently replaced all our doors and windows.

Maybe they know something about the quality of what they installed that I don't.

discovering that a "four month wait for an appointment" on the NHS means you wait four months until they offer you an appointment far in the future.

Works H&S group which i'm part of being a Unison H&S rep. Complete and utter waste of time and effort as they don't listen to what the work force says and just do what they like. Fuck em, think my next meeting with them will be my last.

Stupid expensive, pointless surveys which tell us the complete obvious that everybody knows already.
