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!

Two hours to drive 15 miles, causing me to miss my trip to the football.

Supplemental: it is thoroughly doing my head in that people say more homes need to be built in London. The roads, public transport, health services, etc, can't cope with the current population.

This is not a grind but an observation.

I was very surprised to see the following items at Lidl and I bought them all:

Dark chocolate-covered rice cakes
Milled linseed with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries and chia seeds!
Fake Dr Karg's crunchy seeded biscuit things.

Is Lidl like Aldi in that it has different things from time to time? It seems so.

Disappointed not to get saeurkraut or dark rye bread in either shop.

*The rice cake things are very good.

My boss saying 'Im not getting at you but....' then getting at me. Just fucking get at me, or not - don't try to pretend you;re not getting at me while getting at me.

Agree, TRO. See also, "I'm not being funny with you but ..." or "To be fair ... " before going on to give someone a highly subjective slagging off.

Or the worst ones "I'm not being racist/sexist/etc but [insert sweeping racist/sexist generalisation here]".
