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!

Another thing that was amusingly modern was his diatribe about ropes which left for a few minutes will tie themselves in knots and how you can straighten out a series of them in a field and come back later and find they have all got tangled round each other. I have seen the same comedy material done by observation comedians about e.g. headphone cables.

I read this years ago and remember thinking it was quite wodehousian. I unashamedly enjoyed the medical dictionary passage at the start where he becomes offended at not getting house maids knee.
