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 parking on footpaths over a double yellow line. Fuckers. Thrice stupid fuckers.
1. The double yellows are there for a reason, usually safety
2. Parking on the footpath is wankerishness of the highest order and at some stage this fucking country will wake up and ban it properly
3. If you're worried about getting a ticket, parking over a double yellow on the footpath isn't going to help you avoid one, the complete lack of wardens outside the town centre will probably work though

It's not uncommon around here either Fragile, it's just that today it seemed to be pretty much everyone.

Based on some recent posts here I thought I'd post this here instead of joke thread:

Fair play to Rupert Murdoch in getting engaged to Jerry Hall.

He's finally found someone who enjoys fucking people for money as much as he does.

Some of the people on my local radio station.

This morning the news reported that "a man stabbed his wife to death, killing her" and the weather report mentioned "a chance of possible snow"

I do love local radio for its unpolishedness. And for the way the presenters manage to get more out of their political interviewees by being civil and respectful than the Today programme crew do with all their barking and interrupting.

Folks with massive cars who don't know how to park them properly. i.e halfway across our driveway, well maybe not halfway but feels like it when I struggle to get past it in my wee car.

Delivery drivers who think that it's okay to text me at 7am on a Saturday and then phone me 20 minutes later. I'll be delighted to see you when you get here but, just because you're working, doesn't mean the rest of the world is even awake!

At our old house, we had room at the front to park five cars easily, seven cars at a squeeze. We once had a caller who managed to position his Jaguar in such a way that it blocked my husband's neatly-parked car in and occupied the rest of the space in such a way that there was no room for mine. I still can't quite work out how he achieved that.

The number runners saw this morning who couldn't be bothered to nod, wave or say a simple 'morning' when I passed them. Come on people, where's your runners etiquette?

Jono.
in a totally unscientific experiment I've worked out Phil that runners who live in posher area's will not say *good Morning, wave or take part in a dance off*

a bloke running this morning warned me of ice ahead - we were running through flea bottom as well.
