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!

[LN - know it doesn't help your situation :( But I was counting the days to retirement (not enough to do and no prospect of things improving) until my company offered me a sum of money to retire early. Grabbed it with both hands and ran away]

What did you hope to achieve sending that email apart from trying to stir up divisions with your colleagues?

I'm not saying I don't believe it's possible, I'm just wondering how you manage to hold down that high-powered job, do all those things with your spouse and children, go to the gym for 90 minutes a day, and still be glued to a niche internet forum doling out screeds of free relationship advice to randoms as if you were some sort of guru. I'm not at all curious about whether you ever leave the house and how often you change your pyjamas.

[Every time I see a picture of a CEO, or a bigwig in the NHS, I shall amuse myself briefly by imagining them reading popular self-help books and paraphrasing them on the internet under an avatar of a little fluffy doggy.]
