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!

“Bishop's Castle manure spill needs six-hour clean-up”

bbc.co.uk

“..while the poo pile came from chickens, it was anything but a "poultry" amount, weighing a whopping 12 tonnes (12,000kg)”.

I'd suggest that WG Grace's career in fact shows that cricket has a long history of gimmicks and entrepreneurs looking for quick money. Far larger changes (standardising on 11v11, overarm bowling, to playing whites, rules about the sizes of bars, balls etc ) happened during his career than anything novel tried this century.

Yes, those nostalgic for the past always choose a point when history ended to suit themselves.

"British tourist reunited with false teeth he lost in Spain 11 years ago":

bbc.co.uk

"A holidaymaker who lost his false teeth while vomiting into a bin on a boozy night out in Benidorm was stunned when they turned up in the post 11 years on."

This is news apparently. No wonder we're going to hell in a handcart.

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
