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!

[I could only read so far, but is he really claiming to spend Christmas alone when his wife is there? That's bizarre and possibly insulting to his wife who he sees as some sort of non person. Also, does he churn out the same article every year? :)]

People who call initialisms acronyms. Where I work they are great at doing it.

Where does everybody stand on initialisms that include syllables (e.g. MTB for mountain bike)?

MTB misses the mark for me. I assumed for years that it stood for Multi Terrain Bike.
