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!

The Oscars. At least the media droning on about it. Self congratulatory bullshit.

Infinite loops of 'let's try that again' phoning call centres using voice (un)recognition software.

Marks and Spencer. Every fucking time I go there they have changed the layout AGAIN. Gave up on finding the schoolwear section. Gave up on finding pyjamas. Looked at all the screens littered round the place and came to the conclusion that they don't actually want any customers buying stuff in there, they only want you to shop online and buy coffee and cake in their gigantic cafe so they don't have to stock things people might wish to purchase. And the CLOTHES! Ye gods, NOBODY wants to wear primrose yellow do they? Not really? And the customers, the fucking customers! People walking three abreast so s.l.o.w.w.w.w.w.l.y they might actually have been dead. The icing on the cake being the old couple who stopped right in the middle of the exit to fiddle with their bags. Don't mind me, I'll just stand behind you for a minute while you fuck about and block everyone's way. Don't bother moving 10 yards out the door so other people can escape this gigantic life-sucking hellhole full of fucking morons buying primrose yellow jackets.

And while I'm in the mood. Undies labelled Brazilian. What, are these undies designed to show off one's Brazilian? Undies only to be worn by Brazilians? What the actual underwear fuck?

I lied. One more thing:
Teachers: if you had the scantest of knowledge of human motivation you should realise that keeping primary school kids in during their lunch break because they have not filled in their reading records and had them signed by their parents will not lead to a lifelong love of reading. It will lead to a lifelong view of teachers as fucking OFSTED drones. If this is what 'on our way to Outstanding' looks like, I have to say I prefer the educational experience my children had when you were 'on your way out of special measures'. Frankly, the quality of teaching has gone down ever since because you have been unable to retain decent teachers, your interim head is a TWAT with bells on, and just because the quality of your record-keeping has improved due to draconian measures like this and the socioeconomic status of your children has gone up due to demographic pressures does not make you a 'good' school. It makes you a distinctly average and uninspiring one.
