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!

Trumpet thread - blow yours here (celebrating whatever achievement you wish!) :-)

Happy extension :-) And well done on the canoeing.

Next: add soupmaking to your culinary repertoire, :-) G!

(It was the particular soup, and the result, rather than just making soup, which I do quite often.)

I've definitely eaten a soup from scratch, but I've never made one. Supreme culinary jazz skills, Dvorak.

G, regular paddling and moving up the grid in car races: Both well worth a toot.

Hi, I'm feeling a bit pleased with myself today. I watched the BBC Surgeons programme the other day and was horrified to spot that they hadn't blurred out patient details on blood bags in theatre. I wrote to them to point it out, thinking that they wouldn't even read my email never mind act on it and I was considering reporting it to the ICO. I had a reply to my email just now:

"Dear Ms SusiesueH,

Thank you for contacting us about Surgeons: At the Edge of Life and for raising this issue with us. The programme has now been edited to resolve this.

We are very grateful to you for taking the time to bring this to our attention.

Best regards,

BBC Enquiries Team"

Still think it's a really shoddy, schoolboy error. But I got them to change it :)

Great work Susiesue. Sometime we need to point out errors to those in power or control. Well done.

I wrote to First Minister in Scotland and my MSP today. Never done that before. Hopefully it was constructive, not just a whine.

Well doe west moors. I was very happy to get to my first gym class (Body Pump) for 7 months last night. It's wonderful to be back in classes. :-) G

thanks both!

I'm impressed westmoors, I see people 1-2-1 and know the anxiety involved so I can't imagine it with a group of people :)

Oh well done Happy, I hope you get a considered response.

I got a reply from my local MSP Susie. She thought it was a good idea but that licensing laws would be a problem. Not sure how that is any harder than any other law changes going on all the time during Covid. Anyway, they seem to have relented a bit as the rules have evolved to be cafe, restaurants and even pubs rebranding as cafe or restaurant, as long as no alcohol. Which is effectively what I asked for.

I managed to be not last at my car racing on Sun and had a nice double digit run in hills on Sat. Woop! And toot! :-) G
