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!

My boss, again.
Not only does he scrimp so much that he picks up the 'free dog bones' you get at some butchers and turns them into soup/broth, but by doing so he sticks out the whole practice. (Honestly, it smelled like something had died, not like tasty soup)
Then he says I can have one of the now boiled bones for my dog, didn't give any to his dog!
Maybe that's a good thing as mine had the bone yesterday and spent until lunchtime today vomiting. It stunk like the bones did when they were boiling, nearly made me retch cleaning it up.
Then, I text my collegue to warn the boss she says he's already eaten the soup (yuk) for his lunch and although he said 'poor thing' regarding my dog, was no more concerned than that, that it was his bone that made her ill!!
Now, I know it wasn't his fault that my dog was ill and I don't in any way actually blame him. But if it were the other way around I would be absolutely mortified.
Thankfully my dog has long stopped puking and is sleeping it off.

That's quite a good one, HOD! Wife thought it was pretty funny too. I'll try that one out at work tomorrow.

People that only believe in democracy when the vote goes their way - does make me chuckle! When it doesn't the people don't truly know and are misguided ;-)

Bloody Christmas songs annoy me too. Same every blasted year.

Not carols though; I love those.

MS fucking Word and Bill Twatting gates etc.

Just had a rare 45 mins of inspiration and competence, did some good work on a word document, only to fucking lose it because the doc hung and could not be recovered. AS well as having to redo (that's my lunch gone) I know that the repeated work will not be as good as what I;ve just lost.

Anyone got a cat I can kick? ;-)
