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!

Toks, you should just smile mysteriously and say "Appearances can be deceptive." :)

I get quite a lot of "maybe I should take up running", normally from overweight colleagues stuffing their faces with donuts / cakes etc...

My PT often calls me a machine. This could of course mean that he thinks I have no emotions.

A girl who works for me has taken up running and often tells me I'm an inspiration to her. She will go far career-wise ;)

I am often 'praised' for my economical style this means 'he looks slow but is a bit faster but nowt to write home about'.

my warm up routine for a track mile was described as being 'camper than a row of pink tents'

I'm always worried that when people comment on my endurance it's a reference to me still being out there plodding away after they've finished...
