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!

Me too, I have never understood the recent media obsession with A and O level results, it's as if they can never give it up. What about those people who don't do so well and don't have their smiling faces plastered all over the telly?

Anyway it's not all about results is it. Get a life, Vine

The fact that towels etc haven't dried all week, but a sandwich starts curling up after only a few minutes of not being properly wrapped in clingfilm.

Jono I tried to explain to our old facilities person on why can't put sandbags in front of a fire door. Gave up in the end and walked off.

Drivers who indicate right then left when they're going straight on at roundabouts.

Even worse, drivers who indicate right when going straight on at a roundabout, and don't change it to a left.

Or drivers who can't be bothered to indicate at all - at road junctions or changing lanes on a motorway.
