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!

As a general rule: rude, inconsiderate, ill mannered toss pots.

fly tippers and litterers. Last week I drove along the A31 and it was covered from one end to the other with huge amounts of litter. This week I have been sitting in traffic for fucking ages most days because they are having to close one lane to clean up all the litter. Disgusting, expensive, and dangerous (I've already seen one crash it's caused). The wankers who did it should be buried alive in a landfill site.

I drives me mental how the BBC are always changing pronunciations. CaithNESS is now CAITHniss. It was always KaBUL but they're now calling it KAHble. NEWcastle ... NyiCASTLE. There are a million others ... people's names too. It really rips my knitting :-(

'rips my knitting' :-)

Those nauseating little notes in hotels about 'saving the planet' by reusing towels. I've no objection to re-using but get majorly irked at the blackmail of 'saving the planet' when all the are fucking interested in is reducing their cleaning costs.

Mr Jono to you Sir!
fly tippers - if men, punched in the bollocks - if womem, punched in the snatch.

I was please to say that at last sunday's running event I only saw 1 gel wrapper and 1 jelly baby on the floor - still too much, but better.

Hell Down South was terrible for this. Gel wrappers everywhere, plus quite a lot of bits of kit- gloves etc just thrown down.

+1 to litterers and flytippers. There's some really beautiful countryside around here and people chuck sofas and fridges and rubble and rubbish to the side of the little lanes. Gel wrappers being thrown down at races really pisses me off too. If you carried it full you can damn well carry it empty.

Being buried alive is too good for them.

Litterers grind my gears too - esp when they have neatly placed a can down, so it doesn't seem to them as wrong. Tossers.

People who blatantly flout rules...... I was in the Natural History Museum about 2 minths ago looking at the large mammals and a guy next to me had his kid over the small fence and wanted it to touch the elephant tusk. He said it twice. I stood right in front of him and said something like "if we all did that etc".... then walked away and muttered "tosser" under my breath. THe tirade I got (in a packed hall by the way) was awful. I smiled at him - he blew his top even more. I thought he was going to lamp me in front of everyone. I wish I'd said "I was going to keep it between us, but now everyone knows you are a tossser".
