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!

What do you know today, that you did not yesterday?

Exponantial growth is scary, given the current situation.

That there are more names for Ginger, Knock and Run than I realised (that's what we called it). I had to send this link to my big sis as she didn't know what I was talking about.

[Ding dong ditch was new to me a while ago. “Knock and run” has to be the correct name though]

It was always Knock Down Ginger to me, and never anything else.
