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!

And actually, most of the IT problems are of the Cuddy variety anyway. Retards.

(No Cuddy is not an IT problem, you're just misinterpreting at TOTP)

Most of the IT problems I have to deal with are due to members of the public who are too stupid to use a computer. If they actually read what's on the screen and devoted a couple of brain cells to processing that information, that would sort out about 80% of 'problems'.

The obsession in the media about Brad and Angelina's divorce. I don't give the tiniest shit.

I am an Accountant. I am not techie. But I am in my early thirties and have a brain so do get asked to help resolve IT issues.

I can't win, I either can't fix it or when I do they just go, so you just reset the computer? Yes, yes I did. It's fixed you monkey does it matter what I did?

When you try and book something on line.....and you get all the way through to the end and are offered a check out as guest/log in as member. You choose guest and then get told you can't do that as they 'have your details' and you have to log on. You try and your 'usual' password is wrong.

You then apply for a password reset and when that's done you log in and ALL YOUR FUCKING BOOKING DETAILS ARE GONE. You re-input and then are told you already have a similar booking WHICH YOU CAN'T FUCKING FIND.

Simple booking, 45 minutes of my life gone. Grrrrrrr.

Very much agree with you Fragile & AR. It was headline news on the 4pm BBC radio news yesterday! Who really gives a monkey's.

In line with the IT issues above:

Repeatedly pressing the key will not make it work/appear faster. All it does is make the computer repeat the process multiple times thereby potentially slowing down the response - Doh!

(OH does this. Drives me up the wall)
