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!

You'll get back to me in 48 hours? Fucking marvellous

Dear children: you are old enough to stay up later than me, this also implies you are old enough to brush your teeth properly before bed. Just fucking do it, I'm getting sick of being told I'm a Bad Mother by our dentist for your failure to brush your fucking teeth properly. I know hygiene is bottom of your list of priorities, but budge this one up, OK?

.Every day when I am walking through the train station there is a ridiculous 'safety' announcement played through the tannoy saying ' remember your are not a train please stay on the platform ' and then goes on to tell us why we need to remember this - I'm so pleased they reminded me otherwise I might just have jumped on the track but now you remind me ill be sure to stay on the platform !

That triathletes don't give it their all right to the finish line. Suppose it's just a trait of the sport.

[sc - I think Jonathan was looking for his brother and with him collapsing at the end, I guess he gave it close to his all. He'll need some energy to get up on the podium!]

Thanks Cheg. I'd just got in from a marathon paced run in the scorching heat and was just venting frustration at something that's ground my gears for years. Congrats though to the awsome Brownlee's.

Using kitchen roll to protect coasters.
Each desk at work has a perfectly good coaster on it, yet my work mates insist on carefully folding a sheet of kitchen roll and placing that on top of the coaster.
Why?
This is the only place I have ever seen this happen.
I could understand it if there were no coasters, but there are!
When I do the cleaning on a Saturday, I take great delight in putting them all in the bin.
