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!

People who think that if our yard gate is open its OK for their dog to come wandering in poking its nose where it doesn't belong, and then complain when said dog gets bitten in the arse by our resident lurcher who was none too pleased to have his space invaded. Sorry "Just wanting to play" doesn't cover it.

(NB I'm normally fine with dogs off leads. Actually I would have been fine with this one being off the lead provided the owner had accepted the consequences of their lack of control)

Jono.
I'm not anti dog - I might be anti (some) dog owner's.

The other day, I'm tootling through our park and in front of me are 3 blokes, 1 x park warden, two Labrador's (the Labradors were nice).

I veer off to the left to avoid the 3 x blokes, 1 x park warden who are strung across the path. The Labrador's are left to their own devices and as I'm struggling to get past the railings of the pond and the 3 x blokes, 1 x park warden and 2 Labradors I brush against one of the dogs.

One of the 3 x blokes who are strung out along the path says *hah, nearly got him*

As if a bloke out for a run is the enemy of civilisation, a threat to their morning walk - strung our across the path.

I involuntary let out a *DICKHEAD* shout.

spoilt an otherwise nice run.

Ads that pop up and completely obliterate the page you are trying to read and appear to have no way to clear the ad.

I had no idea what this particular ad was for, so was utterly pointless.

Websites that have a "remember me" box to tick when you log on but every time you go back to the website you are logged off again.

Computers that tell you not to turn off as xx of updates are being installed. Always when you are going to bed or trying to leave the office quickly. I shut the machine down anyway!
