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!

It's quite possible to pee without making a racket or leaving puddles. I've managed it for over fifty years. It's not difficult, it's all in the direction control!

Sounds all very complicated. My wife and work colleagues are just happy so long as I hit the target.

I'm sure my mum told me about some couple she knows where the wife has such bad OCD she makes her husband piss sitting down...

But if you could come and train my boys in the art of not missing, that'd be great...

Somebody keeps missing the pan where I work. It's not like they've just had a skin full either.

Today's moan is constantly hearing excuses on food conditions. Just this week, I've had all of the following:

Kids round who don't eat what we've given them because of their medication despite them specifically wanting it (bangers and mash). This goes on to adults with food intolerances which mucks up everyone's meals if you have such people round. Kids with ADHD who don't behave or say please or thank you when offered food and drink.

This isn't a dig at disabilities as my name isn't Frankie Boyle. Plus I have a child with a learning disability and she's no trouble whatsoever. I just feel like going round these people's houses for dinner, constantly letting rip and saying that their cooking is responsible for my chronic flatulence.

Gripe over, pass me the gripe water.

Surrey Phil - I feel your pain. Every time the Step-daughter comes to visit we have food issues. She doesn't have any intolerances or allergies and is very polite, but she is so finicky and fussy it does my head in! Basically, if she declares something as her favourite, there's a 95% chance she wont actually eat it come dinner time. Last visit we had chicken kievs. I asked her if she liked them, she said yes. Then when I served dinner, because they were the big ones and not the little inch-round-ball-type ones, she didn't like it and left pretty much the whole thing. She ate her veg and chips. Trouble is, OH doesn't back me up and agrees with her that he thought we were getting the little ones.

I have never bought the little ones, ever.
Ungrateful little shit. (I don't like children...)

Anyway, my own grind for today...

I am employed as a microbiologist. The boss is not.
Why then does the boss insist on going down to the lab and doing the microbiology work before I arrive in the morning.
Granted there wasn't much, but in a day that otherwise consists of cleaning and boredom, it's the one bit of my day I look forward to.
If I mention it, he says he needs the results and can't wait for me to get myself in in the morning.
I am contracted to start at 9:00am, I was in the lab by 8:55am. If he wants to me to start earlier, he a) needs to tell me, and b) pay me more.

Stick the food on her plate that youp repared, if she doesn't eat it, that is her problem.

That WILL work.

BBC so called "reporters" and so called "journalists" have proved, as if they needed to, how rubbish they are.

The wittering Minchin on Breakfast talking about the olive branch of peace just 60 seconds after footage of half a dozed french war planes off to bomb people.

Sally Nugent, drowning, not waving, so far out of her depth.

Fragile Do Not Bend
People on my Slimming World Facebook group that keep posting scam voucher offers to the group. It's a closed group only open to people who physically attend one of the meetings that my SW consultant runs, so I don't think these people are doing it maliciously. This leads me to conclude that they must be thick.
