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!

We have an Associate Vicar who begins many parts of the liturgy with an extra "So".

I use 'fecking' occasionally, despite being neither averse to the word 'fucking' or Irish.

I mean that I am not Irish, not that I am not averse to the Irish (although I'm not).

But.....
‘Feck’ is an Irish or Scottish word which, in early 19th- century Britain, meant to ‘keep a look out’. From the late 19th century it was defined as ‘to steal’.

Newspaper websites. Take forever to load and drop ads in the middle of the text whilst reading said text.
