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!

Agree with AR, it really fucks me off that councils are always bitching about having no money for basic stuff, yet won't fine people for parking on footpaths or otherwise dangerously/illegally. Employ lots of wardens, give them bikes and a fuckoff wodge of tickets and bonuses for getting lots of people and watch the money roll in. Seems simple!

Councils might also want to consider putting cameras on yellow box junctions? Thousands of ignorant or just plain selfish dickwads abusing them round my way.

The idea, put about by tv adverts, that on-line betting is either;

the sport of the professional elite (up mountains / having adventures in the wilds / having some fun after a day in finance)

or a rite larf wiv yer mates, all of whom have amusing nicknames.

....and adverts for on-line bingo as well.

Perfume ads are the worst, we saw a 12A film the other day and there was a woman in a perfume advert literally writhing round on the floor like a cat on heat. Really distasteful!

840 000 NHS emails...and the bastard who not only started it but those who made it 1000 worse than it could have been. The poor bastards who request read receipts only got what they deserve though. Hahahahahah...!
