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!

Being expected to be the least bit interested in "elite" athletics just because I like to run a bit.

I haven't the faintest idea what a heptathlon even is.

+1 to that, couldn't give less of a fuck but I appear to be in the minority on here :)

The "Ban everything" brigade who stick their heads over the parapet every time some unexpected tragedy occurs like Shoreham.

I love elite athletics but I grew up with it and have always run and coached, I can accept that some people have no interest in it though.

Lazy work colleagues getting away with doing chuff all.
The nepotism at play in work ruining our team.

Just people in general. Confirmed misanthrope here...

Oh right, do you actually know how to do this better than I do? Why do you keep asking me what it's doing then? Just leave me to to it and shut up.

THAT does piss me off poochie! and insulting to wales, N Ireland & Scotland - I will forgive the WWII generation though, as they had a lot on their minds at the time (you can hear this in B&W films - Mrs Minerva etc)

This place I'm temping at the moment. People don't know the code for using the photocopier. People don't know the codes for the stationery cupboards. Emergency stationery store is in the next building and I keep getting sent there for things which aren't there and I have to order them. Key lost for stationery cupboard and no-one knows how to get in. I ask around and it turns out most people have a master key that works. How did management not know that?

A key component of this job left with the last person doing the job. There is a v important deadline looming and I can't find anyone who knows how to pull the information off. It's going to get really embarrassing as people are waiting for the info.
