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!

There's a guy in my office who is shit-hot at the phonetic alphabet (even spelling his name out over the phone to people who clearly have never met an Aaron before) - but I still couldn't give two hoots about it. So sorry, you'll get J for Jamie, H for Helen, D for Dog and C for Cat off me. Amongst other varying words as and when they jump into my head...
