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!

Arrogant idiots but I can't decide whether the arrogance gets to me more than the stupidity or the other way round.

Ambulance fucking chasers & the dodgy con-artists who use them to try and extract money for nothing. Three years after THEY reversed in to me, they are now suing for personal injury...no win no fee. How the fuck they think they can get a penny out this beggars belief. There's a 2in crack in the plastic panel / wheel arch of my crappy Clio. I can't possibly have caused it by driving in to them since my car doesn't drive sideways. And also the amount of damage wouldn't have been sufficient to sustain even a broken fingernail, let alone whiplash. All it is doing is causing stress and costing money which drives up the cost of our insurance. Get a grip you lazy good for nothing shysters.

Also, dodgy wankers... you'd do yourselves more of a favour if you could decide if there were four, five or six people in the car when it happened. All of which are lies, since there were only three that I saw, and people aren't invisible. Even really small ones.

That Tesco ad that says "...and right now, all these breakfast staples are half price". WHO is eating staples for breakfast? However cheap you made them I still wouldn't.

The amount of people I've worked with in the past three years that say 'pacific' instead of 'specific' and 'expresso' rather that 'esspresso'. Every single one of them should be taken out back and beaten soundly with a very large dictionary.
