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!

Ads on Fetch - anyone else getting Leave and Remain?!

I know google ads is based on what you last searched and stuff, but I was surprised to be greeted by an ad for Leave EU this morning and for Remain on the next click. Is it because I was on holiday in Spain last week, and associated searches?! :-) G

Ah, but alpenrose, I *have* paid. And I said to Fetch that he could switch my ads back on because I don't mind them and it allows him to tell the advertisers that he has one more set of eyeballs viewing the ads! Ooh, get me!

Yeah, I was getting the retirement ones too. Was just wondering what triggered the EU Vote ones (both sides) :-) G

Can't be as useless as Twitter ads: perfume (don't wear any), designer clothes (nup), makeup (god no), cars (never going to buy a brand new one), jewellery (never wear it). You'd think that given that all my timeline is exercise or running related that they could target me with running kit or races instead of girly shit!

Fleecy - Are you ill? You're a girl and must therefore like 'girly' shit. If you don't see an improvement in your condition in 3 days please book an appointment to see your GP ;-)

I want the woman in the "Fitness Singles" ad back.

And probably, by typing this, it will happen ;-)
