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!

Those little slices of ">I know that 97% of you won't broadcast this, but my friends will be the 3% that do.

There's been a recent spate of those "Reply with one word saying where we met" Facebook statuses. I'm resolutely sticking to my stock response of "Dogging".

Lol @ Charlie P. Stolen :-)

+1 for Decorum, but also 'Bite me'??! - No, please keep the Americanisms away from here. I think the expression you are looking for is Fuck Off or a variant thereof ;-)

British tourists being repatriated from Gambia - one bloke this morning, moaning there was no breakfast at his hotel or the one's being interviewed last night. They have all turned into *foreign office experts* -stating *it will be all over in 24hrs*

I get the impression that because we can get on a plane and fly anywhere, anywhere will be like blightly and nothing bad will happen.

NB If you have been personally effected by the Gambian crisis, please accept my apologises.

I was slightly bemused by the tabloid headlines about screeching panicking tourists kicking one another out of the way to get on the planes out of The Gambia and the pissed-off rescued tourists on the radio going, "What a lot of fuss, it'll all be over in 24 hours and we didn't even need to know about it, gimme compensation for ruining our holiday, blah blah."

Nothing should ruin a good holiday in Eygpt , Tunisia or Turkey.
I'm surprised Thomas cook aren't trying to flog holidays in Syrian beach resorts.

People who drive whilst listening to music through headphones and not looking in their mirrors.

You can't hear or see an emergency vehicle.
