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!

Can it also include the fucktard who couldn't find a space large enough for their Q5 on my street the other night, so decided to park it at right angles into a not-large-enough space and across the pavement. I was less than sober and kept walking round it (well the three sides I could get round) trying to work out why my eyes were playing up.

People who do the lazy parallel park by driving on & off the kerb.

The kerbs outside my window at work are too high to drive up in a car so I get a small amount of amusement whenever I hear the scraping noise of bumper on kerb.

People in the swimming pool lanes who wait until you arrive at the wall about to turn and set off.

Shops that have the heating on full blast. I've come in wearing a coat because it's cold outside, I don't want to have to start stripping off the moment I walk in the door.

Try being my pal Natalie who uses an electric wheelchair to get around: it's wide and heavy, and if there's a car blocking a pavement, the detour to go back, find a dropped kerb, etc can be half a mile or more.

Marking 50 electronic prescriptions for signing and leaving the computer to plough through them while I go and make a cup of coffee. Coming back to discover that the notes of the first patient were locked by someone else and as a result I have to tick all 50 boxes again and wait for the computer to do its thing.

Electronic prescriptions. In the case of my chemist it now takes longer than handing over a paper prescription as they don't check the electronic ones coming through.
