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!

Not being allowed to put decent internet browsers on my computer. Memo to the keystroke recorder technician at the local head office: Tell your bosses that me taking Google Chrome off my computer did not make it go any faster and therefor me having Google Chrome ON my computer was not why it was running slowly. D'you think they'll be able to understand that? If not, say it in a simpler way.

People who think that being a curmudgeon is an endearing trait.

It isn't: it just means you're a miserable old git.....

+1 Mrs V

People who can't keep presentations running on time because they lack any kind of focus. Especially when it delays my lunch.

Fleecy: no it was a pastel blue (as I said everything's gone a bit Miami Vice) dressing gown. I eventually found one that looked like it wasn't for my Mum :)

Emails. More specifically how to end them.

In the good old days it was Yours sincerely/faithfully and the rules were dead easy. Now it's Regards, Kind regards, Kindest regards, Best regards and no rules as to which one gets used and when.

Thinking about that reminds me that there were a lot of other people who also died thinking the same thing - protected as they were.

Cnuts. Total fcuking cnuts. In fact there aren't words to describe what I think of them and how much it boils my pi$$.

On a less serious note. AB De Villiers.

The best all-round batsman in cricket today. Capable of extraordinary feats on a regular basis - like today in fact. Not only that, but he could have been a Springbok rugby player, an international hockey player, a top standard tennis player and still holds schoolboy athletics records in South Africa. Furthermore he's quite a good looking chap and was pretty good academically too. What annoys me? He's also apparently the nicest bloke you could meet.

What an ar$ehole.

Bet his wife is stunning too.
