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!

Yeah, but the labels are made of slightly stiffer annoying material such that when you do cut them off, you are left with a little bit left that then rubs and scrapes into you.

You can never totally eradicate the annoyance.

People who leave free newspapers on trains and buses, thinking that others would like to read it. Put them in the rubbish or recycle bin like the rest of us!

People who eat crisps very loudly (with their mouths open) like the bloke behind me. He also seems to enjoy having a good old root around in the bag before each pulling each crisp out, rustle rustle rustle....crunch crunch crunch. AAarrrgggghhhhh. Wanker. I can barely hear the tedium of the audio call I am on.

Crisps were designed to be noisy though. It's hardly his fault. Noisy packaging, noisy product!

We are at the zoo today - there's an exhibit (ornag-ujtan) very close to the glass and EVERYONE piles in so that only about 3 people can actually see. If everyone stood say 6 feet back - like I was - then more would be able to see.....worse "take a pic with phone at point blank range then stand gorping at the pic still blocking the view of others".

While Im at it...airport luggage conveyor belts. The line about 1 yard from the belt is there for a reason. If everyone stood on this, you'd be able to see your bag coming in plenty of time...as it is they all overhang the thing so you can only see your bag when it's 3 feet away AND THEN you can't easily get your bag off because of said people jammed against the belt. Are you one of these people?

Totally with Da Big Guy on airport luggage conveyor belts!!!!

In addition, they are not safe places for children. Children - stand well back out of the way, or parents, make them stand back. Children are not able to lift bags off, so why stand there.

Please don't complain if I have to haul my bags off and your kids "accidentally" get bashed for being in the way ;-)

You're lucky to have avoided it.

It is often said with a patronising whine and means things never change.

The phrase 'spring has sprung', just arse off it's not funny and it's not clever.

February. Also please arse off, pronto.
