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!

When the dishwasher is stacked haphazardly. Look, you line up all the large size plates, using the space nice and efficiently with the help of the racks desighed by those clever German engineers specifically to cope with large size plates, and some plonker sticks an egg cup or a saucepan or two saucers the other way round in the next few slots - drives me nuts.

Oh yes. No 6, definitely. Also when you get to the end of a race, push the "timer stop" button, wander around, have a drink of water, put a nice warm top on, have a bit of a chat and notice - the ruddy numbers are still moving because you didn't stop it properly.

people who always leave a teaspoonful of food on their plate - it wouldn't kill them to eat it.

People demanding Calpol on prescription, I can cope with.

People demanding Calopl AND Nurofen on prescription week after week, AND insisting that each of their eight children has their own supply prescribed despite the fact that they can't muster up a hint of a fever between the lot of 'em.

And not feeling able, due to the culture of political correctness, to ask whether they're selling it locally, exporting it to relatives in countries where you can't get free medicine, or giving the kids a spoonful as a treat for good behaviour.
