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!

Today's challenge is a popularity contest (and thank you to everyone who reported that the challenge was broken - it's fixed now).

Here's the link if you want to play along:

fetcheveryone.com/christmas-popular.php

Instructions:

Today we're having a popularity contest.

You are standing for election as leader of the world. Please make your pledge, and explain how you will fund it.

Then vote on all the pledges, to say whether you would vote for or against the person standing for election.

You get 20 tickets for making a pledge, and a further two tickets for each pledge you vote on.

NB This is anonymous, and meant to be fun - so let's make sure that's how it goes ;-)

So, at least two people on here are big fans of strava or are super-rich plutocrats. (Maybe one of each?)

I was going to vote against the ones that were abolishing other services, deporting or dicking with the weather- but they were funded by taxing super rich or orange fake tan, so all good.

I'm not going to demonise biscuit dunkers though. That's biscuit-ism. Show a little tolerance people. :-) G

And Utopia is 3 to 1 against. A world free of war, hunger and need. Yeah, who'd want that? :-) G

Yeah, but then all we'd hear people moaning about is first world problems - and wouldn't that be dull ? ;-)

Some of these have made me do some very inappropriate cackling.

Interested to see who is planning on buying me a pint though :-)
