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!

Helicopters

More specifically helicopters that just aimlessly hover more or less over the pasture containing my heavily pregnant ewes scaring the sh1te out of them - quite literally (for fans of Hitchhiker's guide sheep are like the people on the planet Kricket. The concept of up and down doesn't exist. Ergo from their perspective someone was just making a horrible noise and they had no idea where it was coming from)

I have a special itch in my slapping hand for people who try to finish my sentences. Srsly, if you can't be bothered waiting for me to finish the sentence myself, just turn your back and walk away, it would be less rude.

If I didn't finish my wife's sentences she would change the subject, leaving whatever it was uncommunicated. I'm mostly very good at finishing them. For instance, "M is ok for the 12th and 13th." she said last night. I immediately suspected she meant August.

My friend's wife does that. Really annoying especially if you are talking about your own family or personal circumstances.

People talking to their phones or Siri when the only other person in the house is me, so I get up and go and find out what they're saying.

That's a good question, after clearing up at her flat when we sold it I would estimate that is was nobody, ever.
