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!

I guess that's why they call it an Elton John Deathmatch (21-03)

I think Ben Elton was the only Rule 5er I didn't vote for, as he's just awful. I read a couple of his books back in the day, and even as an idiotic teenager I recognised them as shite.

I'll definitely be voting Elton over Elton...

I'm listening to Honkey Chateau to cheer myself up. 'Mellow' is a great track. And I'd forgotten that 'Rocket Man' isn't actually called 'Rocket Man'.
