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!

Every time there's a plane crash the same experts are put in front of the cameras and spout the bleeding obvious. And it's all speculation.

Why does Twitter suggest that I would *like* to follow Birdy when I have no fucking idea why I would be linked with her?

I've just changed jobs and moved into my colleague's desk which he's vacated.

The drawer's broken and the front fell off when I opened it
The transfer function on his telephone doesn't work.
I've had to replace the keyboard as 2 keys and the space bar stick.

He's been in this job 2 years and didn't get any of those things fixed. Obviously not grinding his gears.

I have a two-storey printer that only picks up off the bottom tray. I've twined about it a million times but it's obviously not grinding anyone else's gears because my requests to get it fixed have been met with, "Yeah, yeah," and no action.

Coming second in a race...and also second in my bloody age group M45-49.

Not even an age group win then.

Can't wait to get into M50-54....

The attrition thing works if you're a survivor rather than a casualty ;)
