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 came here to moan about Garmin connect too. I was quite keen to see my first run on Jantastic and Garmin connect refuses to upload tonight's run. :(

I'm also annoyed with Swearshop online. Last time I ordered, it was free to deliver to a store but now it is £2. I'm sure that returns also used to be free, but they aren't now.

I ordered two tops, one turned out to be out of stock and the other has to go back as it is too big. Pretty much a waste of time & money all round.

I always say 'have' not 'get'. I also pronounce it lattay - with a hard a, as opposed to 'lartay' which everyone else says, but which is wrong.

When people say can I get,' I've taken to muttering, increasingly loudly, 'no, it's ok, they'll get it for you.' I'll probably get punched one day, but it will be worth it.

I have a similar wish to deck people who say 'I'll take... ' from a menu. Take? No you fecking wont 'take' anything. It'll be brought to you by a lovely (probably) waiter/waitress/server while you sit there on your fat, velvet-clad arse. 'Take'? Bah.

Are you saying lid-oh or lee-doh though?

(AW is it a local peculiarity that people wear velvet nethergarments to dine out?)

I can hear the mice squeaking round the back of our food cupboard. I really, really hate them. Why do they keep coming back. Grrrrrrr.
