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!

What do you know today, that you did not yesterday?

I thought for years that the preceding line was “on the Austin breeze”.

One of my daughters went through a death metal phase and liked the band Slipknot, a group renowned for wearing ugly masks. I was convinced one of their songs had the line 'We've all got lovely eyes!' but apparently - and disappointingly - it was: 'We all got left behind!' Not as much fun. I prefer my version.

Desi Arnaz, along with Lucille Ball, pioneered TV syndication in the USA (and consequently made mountains of moolah). This stemmed from innovations in the production and filming of "I Love Lucy".

Arnaz also popularised the conga line in the USA.

The main character of the game I've been playing and enjoying dies mid-way through the game, being replaced by a character that looks a bit like him, but is very much not him. Gutted.

RIP Gustave, you not-quite-French dude...

There's a team that goes ahead of the riders on the Tour de France to cover or erase any rude things that may have been written or drawn on the road.

I saw a documentary about them. They can turn a cock and balls into flowers with rather impressive precision!
