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!

People who inform me that the terms and conditions for their product have changed AFTER I have just signed off the artwork for a campaign and AFTER they said it was all OK and AFTER 3pm on a Friday afternoon.

Mud Lark I'm with you on that. I will be able to go out and breathe for a change. Well, until I leave the place through a smog from the smokers outside.

everything about smoking stinks (pardon the pun)
It grips my sh*t that smokers still get a "fag Break" in the military, whilst us healthy lot have to keep working and beg borrow and plead for an extra 20 mins at lunch every now and then so we can get a decent hours running in and time for a shower.

e.g

a 20 a day smoker smokes maybe 8 during "working" day
lets say 2 at lunchtime

the other 6 are smoked during "work" time at 10 mins per "fag"
so thats an hour out of the day,

5 hours a week

20+ hours a month
240 hours a year.

thats 10 whole days,
we normally work 8-5 (12-1 lunch) so eight hours

30 working days per smoker a year are wasted through smoke breaks!!!!!!!

that is one airmans leave allowance for the year!!

Crafty buggers!!

Don't forget that it takes smokers twice as long to walk across a room or up some stairs etc.
I reckon its another 20 days a year they waste wheezing from A to B.

good point binks, my lads/lasses get 5 mins in the morning and 5 in the afternoon, thats including travelling time, sadly I cant deny them a break as its their "human Right" as some scrote pointed out to me a few months ago.
I pointed out to him that it was every humans right to breathe unpolluted air, and if he'd like to iscuss the issue further we could do it in his time whilst running a quick 10 miler.....

He's since failed his RAF Fitness test, is undeployable on operations and is medically downgraded due to a bronchial condition. all this at the tender age of 23...oh and is still a 40 a day smoker. The youth of today...I ask you

People I don't know who come to my door and inform me they're not selling anything. I ask why they are visiting me, a a cup of tea and a friendly chat about what they're eating for dinner that night? What they think of BB? The gormless look and inability to answer my perfectly reasonable question grinds me.
