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!

The stupid Sony Xperia Aqua mobile phone, which turns on the side then back longways as you swivel it around trying to type a fucking message. Also the stupid, stupid pre-emptive text that lets me put in a word then changes it. Love to live every fucking time. I type love in all my messages to BF and hardly ever use the word live. Why, why, why does it do this? Oh and moving my apostrophes so I get it's instead of its and resident's instead of residents'. Why, why, why on why?

Garmin Express ... probably the unfriendliest software in the world.

Load, connect, sync. Exit, disconnect, load, connect, sync. Exit, disconnect, re-boot, load connect, sync.
Exit, disconnect, load, connect to different usb port, sync. Exit, disconnect, connect, load, sync. etc.etc.

(& this is after I removed iTunes which I can't connect to on ANY device now :-( )

"Slippery when wet" notices.

These notices have existed for 40 years to my certain knowledge. In 40 years, probably all the relevant surfaces have been re-laid, using materials that still get slippery when wet. Time for appropriate materials to be used.

With you there Gogsy. Insert Ant stick. Nothing. Restart computer. Nothing. Start a new 5 second run to "tickle" the Ant stick. Starts to downloads the switches off. Switch watch back on. Nothing. Restart computer... And then finally it downloads for no apparent reason.
