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 couldn't see the pink. The yellow had seared my eyeballs.

New technology. Can't stand it. I have only just got round to updating my iPad with IOS 8 and now when I try and type on threads, this box I am typing in is hidden by the keyboard if the thread is towards the bottom of the page. This thread is fine because it's at the top of the page so I can see what I am writing. FFS.

If anyone knows what I am doing wrong or how to fix this it would really make my day.

You can never find anything in Boots. It's not that they move it around, it's just that it's illogical. I hate the place but it's my last port of call if I can't find things I need at small local chemists. But then, I can never find the location of anything I want in Boots so I get the fuck out sans purchases anyway. It's so claustrophobic I can't bear to stay and I can't waste my life in stupid shops that don't make things easy to find.

Lemon, found this on an Apple forum:
Try SettIngs>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard> off. That made it possible to see what I'm typing.
I left predicative on.

Thanks Duchess! I have just done that so will hopefully be sorted now! New tech still grinds my gears though! 😄

More BBCisms. Since the year dot people from Iran have been called Iraynians. Now all of a sudden, they're Irahnians. The terminus of the West Highland Line was always MAhllAIG. Now completely out of the blue apparently it's MAHLLig. Fuck you BBC and fuck the horse you rode in on.
