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!

He could just give the same badge each morning. We'd never know. And we'd be really pleased each time we checked Fetch.

This thread may become a bit samy though. "I've won the badge" ... "So have I" ... "So have I" etc

ITG 🇮🇸
So, um, it's our 19th wedding anniversary today, just putting that out there for context.

I woke up during the night and wasn't sure who was lying beside me. I looked at this man and didn't recognise him. I thought it must be OH but he was wearing a blackout eyemask so I couldn't really tell. (I have real problems with face recognition at the best of times.) It was also fairly dark (blackout curtains; 24 daylight just now here). It didn't really look like him and I didn't recognise the tshirt. I thought it might be one of the dads from this weekend's football trip.

I looked around and realised this was definitely my room so it must be OH beside me but I kept peering in the dark to be sure. I was trying to make out his beardy bit (man from football trip did not have a beard) but I couldn't see it. I was terrified to touch him in case he thought I was making a pass. And I also really needed a far but had to hold it in just in case.

Not sure how much this is senior moment and how much appalling facial recognition. This is not the first time I have failed to recognise by OH. Last time, I was sitting behind him in a lecture theatre and wondering who this slightly bald chap was for about 20 minutes before I recognised the jacket.

That's a bit of a worry ITG - are you in the habit of bringing strangers back into the marital bed?!!

I just tried to operate my computer with a bread roll rather than the mouse.

About This Thread

Maintained by ChrisHB
This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

=============

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
