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!

I was very happy to sponsor a work colleague for doing Race for Life (5k) as they have twice got over cancer and have had heart problems. They also trained really hard to be able to run it entirely, so they thoroughly deserved my sponsor money.

I wouldn't dream of asking anyone for sponsorship unless the event seriously tested me.

I had to laugh at the 'sponsored' bike ride in the local paper 10 miles for average sized adults ???? Colourful language in my house that day

To be fair every fucking day

if you're looking at Google search results, and press the down arrow, it takes you to the first result instead of moving the page up a little.

My employers screwing me, then twisting the facts to make it look like they are doing me a favour. I was also asked to change my appraisal feedback.

don't, they know their/your manager is shite, right? An appraisal should never be a surprise.

Desmond Carington, on after Mayo ( I don't like Mayo either, a bit of a clever dick, but it's good on friday as half his callers are pissed already.

Anyway, Carrington, what a daft voice.

it was my bosses boss who asked me to change it WS, I was told I sounded too negative. Like you say my appraisal, 2nd one running I have been asked to change, by two different people.

My problem is that I resigned between the two and the promised new role that made me change my mind appears further away now than it did in May.

MapMyRun won't give me a gpx of where I've been, even though it know's exactly where I went - at what time - but won't let me see the same information. Can I submit a FOI request to get it?
