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!

Back by popular demand. Well, it might be. I mean it IS back although I can't guarantee popular demand.

Due warning given.

First day of Lent is Wednesday and as this is the ANTI Lent thread - do something new as opposed to give up something we will commence on the same day.

You don't have to do something new every day, although it's fun to try. 'Things' can be as small as sitting in a different chair, trying a new food, walking down your road backwards (if you never have) - or as huge and life changing as you can manage.

Also permitted and encouraged are things like noticing something for the first time this year. First daff, first blossom ...all yer florals.

and birdies. Anything really!

Who's in?

Me!

Hurrah!

Raffo has just reminded me, 'Wasn't there a typo you all started using? Newt something?'

I was amazed he thought of it AND he got the next word before I did...

Newt Jingle! It's the return of the newt jingles.

(Who I love. But just remember: A Newt might be for life, not just for Lent. As the saying goes.)

Newt jingles ahoy! Is there going to be a daily 'winner' as well like last year (I mean it's not like I'm ultra competitive or anything.. it's a great idea whether there is or there isn't.... but ... is there?)

I'm in again

Newt Jingle of the day was fun - I'd like to do that again as well. I'll pick the first one because my ball, my rules - thereafter it's the picked that picks.

We had to nudge Chosen Ones occasionally.
