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!

A Timely Reminder

Don’t be scared of Halloween
You will not die of fright
The ghosts and ghouls
Who hand out sweeties
Cannot harm you
Unlike diabetes

Here's one for McG:

A Love Song For June Prendergast

June Prendergast, June Prendergast
We fell in love, it couldn’t last.
You were feline in your affections
I was a dog with frequent erections.

June Prendergast, June Prendergast
We fell in love, it couldn’t last.
I humped your leg beneath the table
You left me for a cat named Mabel.

June Prendergast, June Prendergast
We fell in love, it couldn’t last.
You tried your best but I couldn’t be tutored
The final step was to have me neutered.

June Prendergast, June Prendergast
We fell in love, it couldn’t last.
You turned your home into a cattery
And I live alone in bloody Battersea.

I've been trying to work on this, but i'm shite....

Imagine John cooper-clarkes voice.

He was a Harriers lad she was an AC girl

Same town running clubs, different philosophy’s

One the road, the other the track

When in competition always maximum attack.

They met at the start

They started at the finish

Their lips met

Their Vests clashed

Committees murmured

Old farts aghast

But what could they do?

When runners do what runners do?
