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'm banging on about the shop window ad thing again. So I rang a chap yesterday and today asking for a call back about a job (10 hours of admin work - hours flexible). I usually ring these shop window people twice, leaving 2 messages. He appears to be running a business, so if he's not answering my calls and presumably others, that's crap business sense, isn't it? I could be a potential customer.

Also, at what point do you stop ignoring your 'phone and start to take calls again?

It really is s**t.

Grrrrrrrr

Food labelling. If I wanted to eat an onion curry, I would have bought an onion curry. I wouldn't have bought one called butternut squash curry, only to discover that not only is there a lot of onion, it's actually the first listed ingredient and the curry is full of the stinking vile green stuff. Gaaaaaah!

People who yawn but try and carry on speaking. All you get is this massive gob opening and shutting and a few unintelligible noises coming out.

Always ends with 'didn;t catch any of that' so why do they bother?

People who have to use a swear word in every thing they say because they are too stupid to put a sentence together properly.
