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!

Fetchnames - explain yours! :-)

I was going to say that a lot of the ...ers monikers originate in the cricket thread, as a homage to Test Match Special

I usually get Chunky or CW but I think Greg has used Chunkster on the Deathmeath threads...

Basically spend ages deliberating on a fetch handle and then watch it take off in another direction entirely. And try and change it and you’ll become formerly or latterly instead :-)

Snoot
Enjoyed reading quite a few of these so thought I'd add mine. Tend to use Snoot anywhere I can outside of work for a username and sometimes end up adding _66 if someone's already taken it.
I picked it up in Junior School (mid 70's), originally as Snooter but quickly shortened to Snoot. Not sure why as I don't think I've a particularly stand out nose and growing up on a council estate certainly wasn't snooty or posh!
Anyway it stuck, so much so that my wife still uses it rather than my real name as do my in-laws and lots of friends. So much so that I used to be introduced as Snoot and would often get asked sheepishly by people who had become friends or scouts when we used to be leaders - 'Snoot, what's your actual name?'. I ended up adding it as my middle name on Facebook as people from schooldays didn't recognise me by my real name...
