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! :-)

My name comes from a Scottish band I loved since my school days - Idlewild. I've used this name on many platforms over the years and still use it as part of my main email address, as it's easy to remember! I also use 'woombler' sometimes (it's currently my IG tag), which is still linked to Idlewild - the lead singer's name is Roddy Woomble :)

Oh, and my avatar is a pic of me loading a 50kg atlas stone during my first go at the Ardblair Stones at Aboyne last summer :)

There is an Idle Wild on fetch also but not heard from him in years. Briefly said hello about mile 23 at London one years as he passed me and I saw the name on his shirt. Have a feeling I may have seen him at the end as well.

Atlas stones are a good craic, if very messy at times!

It was always my chest that took the brunt of the grazing/hair pulling. I do miss them too though, hard to replicate.

Way, way back in the days when I was sociable, whenever I met Fetchies for the first time they would always expect me to be Australian - I'm not! kwala was a school nickname, something to do with those furry animal pencil huggers you used to get way back when. I had, let's just say more than 1. Avatar is a selfie

“You call the guy Snot?”
“Snot Boogie. Yeah.”
“Snot Boogie. He like the name?”
“What?”
