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!

Not grindy gears - but back to radio. I used to love Marc and Lard's show - bring it back!

Ravenscroft - no relation to the late John Peel???

Grindy gears - yes - really hate hearing other people's mobile phone conversations- why is it necessary to shout?

Cyclists with no lights / cycling on pavement - ditto.

Pedestrians on their mobile not bloody well looking where they are going. ...

Cyclists, on their mobile phones, in dark clothing, with no lights, on the pavements, at night.

Cyclists with lights on. Especially those really, really bright ones, pointing ahead, they might be able to see me, but I can see fuck all. This happened last week, about half a dozen of the tossers.

Perhaps just be all inclusive? I think the terms we're all looking for is

"Idiots who are inconsiderate, self absorbed, self centered, and telephonically challenged."

Regardless of their mode of travel!
