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!

[ TR - 'losing' the user profile seems a common issue, as I found out after restoring ... answers.microsoft.com

The second time it was fine - well, apart from the time it took and the status displays

Hope yours goes without any issues ]

The fact that nobody understands the Good Friday Agreement. Least of all our beloved PM and his NI secretary...

[Bit behind, but from the previous page - that's totally acceptable Gobi, it's using equipment in the gym that other people have to use after you - without even having the decency to wipe it down afterwards - that I found to be gear grinding]

On a similar theme - couples kissing or otherwise being overly touchy-feely in the gym.

Yup, can agree on Windows 10, it’s being installed on all pcs, mine was done last week and I had loads of issues, still driving me round the bend.

When someone sends a meeting request for a lunchtime and says, "Sorry about the timing but it was the only time everyone was free".

1. It's lunchtime - people aren't necessarily free, they're having lunch. Or off running.
2. I wasn't free anyway: I'd booked the time out (admittedly so I could do a run).

Also...

When that same person sends a revised booking altering the meeting for the next day with a note saying "Sorry about the change of date but I had to change it to accommodate everyone"
1. It's still &*^%ing lunchtime
2. Still not free, still booked out.
3. In fact I'm not even in that day at all, as my calendar will show. That makes this EVEN LESS CONVENIENT!

Don't go. Tell them it is the only time you are not free.
