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!

I do love that North Korea thinks we will all believe that they have had ZERO cases

Brilliant. But no thanks lol. I will 'do the time'

In all seriousness, will now go mostly to the farm. Cut down to just getting the Sunday paper from the corner shops.

A slightly odd question but does anyone else feel queasy when wearing a mask? I've noticed that my travel sickness is a lot worse when I'm wearing one unless there's something else going on with me!

No LN, although I've not worn mine for long enough/often enough to notice. Could you just be irritating a nerve? Perhaps try tying it up differently?

I wore mine on the bus the other day for the first time and one thing I noticed was that occasionally I felt a rising panic, and started to hyperventilate a bit. I controlled it but I don’t think I could maintain it for a long period for example, an hour. Maybe I just need to distract myself.

I've been wearing masks that attach round the ears. Maybe I'll try a buff next time and see if that makes a difference. Really noticed it on the bus today. It was only 20-30 mins but I did feel horrible by the time I got off. Don't think it's a panic/anxiety thing but I'll check the link to see if there are any useful tips.

Cheers all :-)

Without wanting to sound glib or patronising, I don't find it the slightest problem - the only issue I have with wearing a mask is that if I get the adjustment wrong, my glasses steam up. I don't have to wear them all the time (glasses that is), I'm just too lazy to take them off - that might have to change.

It's putting my reading glasses on and off and on again that worries me about contamination - if I walk around wearing them I feel dizzy/sick - but can't read small stuff/phone screen/ menus/ labels without them.

I wash them when I get home from shops, but I'll have to learn not to put them down anywhere if we do get to eat out etc.

I've learned left hand - gate, right hand - face for when I'm out running, wil have to learn left hand-glasses too.
