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!

Just had a customer on the phone moaning that his 'ring pieces' have gone rusty.

'yes sir which of your tie rings have corroded?'

Most exciting run? From a few years ago.

I went for a run along a riverbank early one morning and wondered why there were a few police cars and fire engines parked close by.

"Exciting stuff," I thought as I got closer to a footbridge. A fireman stopped me as I got about 30 yards away from the bridge.

"You can't go any further mate; there's a man hanging from the bridge," he said.

If he hadn't pointed him out and practically encouraged me to look I might have got away without the image that then stuck with me for a few months...

A sad story for the man :-(

Does this grandchild come via your son or your daughter?

And do they know whether it's a boy or a girl, or did they not want to know?

Sorry Columba been out tonight.

Its my son (my only child) and his fiancee. They don't know the sex yet and I keep forgetting to ask them if they are going to find out.. A lovely Christmas present and hopefully for the third time as he was and his father was a fifth generation and his great grandma is still going strong at 92

My Mum just missed being a great-grandma. Or perhaps didn't quite miss, depending on your point of view; the great-grandchild was in utero at the time my Mum died.
