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!

Ds2's school. Permanently sending us fucking texts about stranger danger. Way to go, making all the working parents feel distressed about having to let their kids get home by themselves. And getting the kids into a state of panic. Good skills.

I don't get what it wrong with that tweet. Is being called a mother, partner or a daughter offensive now?

Er, no, it's the defining of successful sports women purely in terms of their usefulness to others. Substitute men in there and see how it sounds...Particularly in terms of traditional gender roles, it's implying that these women ought to be getting back to their 'real' work of looking after other people.

I'm a partner and a daughter and I don't take those words to indicate my usefulness to my husband or my parents. I wouldn't see anything wrong in saying the men's team were going back to being fathers, sons and partners either.

Oh well, different people see different things, I shall continue in my blissful state of non-offendedness.

The word 'Grexit'. And any other similar 'terms'. STOP BEING SO BLOODY LAZY.

Also companies giving us free robots/meerkats/sloths when we buy their products. Are we all a bunch of children suddenly? Don't we have enough stuff as it is? And don't tell me that we don't get charged for these freebies somewhere or another.

That annoying Lynx advert. I rather rub wasabi under my armpits than use that shite, probably burns the same.

Just got a call from a recruitment agency asking if I was still looking for work. When I replied yes, they asked 'how old are you?'. I cut them off.
