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!

Cot, sounds like watt
Tone, sounds like phone
E, sounds like flea
Aster, sounds like plaster (or plaster, if you live in the South)

I disagree. The first syllable is only "kt" and the stress falls on the second syllable, with a secondary stress on the A.

Websites which allow you to read the forums/comments as a guest, type a reply/comment as a guest, then demand you sign in when you hit "submit". Once you've signed in you're back to the home page, your elaborate and witty comment has been lost to the ether.

Being woken at 2:43 this morning by an alarm on my new Bluetooth speaker.

I didn't know it had a clock, let alone an alarm. I must have inadvertently triggered something on one of the multifunction switches when I was using it last night.

Why does a Bluetooth speaker need a clock???? 😡
