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!

Well thank you and hello back to all, including fellow refugees.

Yes, I confess that I am that Muttley :-( Pity this place doesn't support animated avatars, I was quite proud of my helicopter-mode whizzing tail on RW.

I'm afraid RW is on its last legs. I need a new home for my inane ramblings. Lots on this site, need to have a rootle around and figure out what's what.

A combination of relentless spam (which this site seems mercifully free of), newcomers getting a hard time so leaving, and a user-unfriendly "upgrade" just now. It's basically now half a dozen chit-chat threads that are busy with regulars. It used to be great. Not any more.

Hello Muttley - I remember you from my days as a RW forumite.

GimmeMedals also has a Muttley icon so there may be a showdown ;-)

Mutts - Fetch (the man, not the site) is pretty proactive about blamming the spam. Mostly it's for 30 fitted kitchens in the Manchester area. I kid you not.

I saw his avatar. That was going to be my first choice. But if we both love bling I'm sure we'll get along ...
