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 thought it was fine, apart from it screwed my screen resolution. Is displaying a distorted 1024 x 768 and won't let me change it to the 1366 (I think) x 768 that I need. Not best pleased.

People in the window seat on trains who just get their bag & stand up as their stop approaches without saying anything & expect you to move. "Excuse me please" or similar is just good manners. To say nothing is plain rude.

And, while I am here, the line "I hope you're well." as the opening sentence of an email after the salutation.

It's a pointless waste of time. Either enquire as to how I am or just drop the sentence.

I hope you're well wine legs :-)

When you ring the bell on the bus, say excuse me and then they don't get up and move properly, but turn slightly to the side. You are then forced to grind either your front or back against them.

Even worse: 'I hope this finds you well'. Pompous and even more pointless words.

That's why there's only one left!
That ad on Twitter for blood donation. 'Bleed for England'. UGH! Fuck off! I'm not English, I don't want to think about blood when I'm eating my porridge, I hate rugby and I think you ought to just sort out your fucking blood donation appointment systems so there's more than one day a week when I can donate rather than it always being Tuesdays. That ought to help rather than spending lots of money on distasteful ads.
