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!

Sacred Cows, and the slaughtering thereof.

Regular listeners of FT will know about this one. What national 'treasure' do you feel would be better on a skip rather than on a pedestal?

Someone (an MK Dons supporter) proposed AFC Wimbledon, about whom everyone gets misty eyed but he hated.

Other nominations included Bruce Forsyth and Seb Coe.

We were discussing this on the Rugby Wire (whch unforgivably is *not* called "y wifren rygbi ") as Martin Johnson was nominated.

It was suggested that a wider audience might enjoy the challenge. My vote goes (predictably) to Mark Cavendish.

Sorry, perhaps that should have been the status quo......

I've got a proper one now:

Carol Vorderperson. Should have stuck to what she was good at.

Carol Vorderperson was only ever good at looking girlish as Richard Whiteley made his clumsy witticisms. That career path is no longer open, so now she explains that it's worth trying to teach 17 year olds what you've failed to teach them for the previous 12 years.
