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!

It wasn't just hilarious it was also disgraceful that the presenter questioning a politician during a general election did not have the first clue about how income tax actually works or basic, sorry, extemely basic arithmetic.

Vine on radio off.

Vloggers. I don't know you, you don't know me and I don't want to know how you choose to live your life or what you do each day.

Bloggers (as on this site) or Vloggers who are actual runners I can appreciate as far as conveying running or race experience is concerned. But not when some spotty teenager posts an entry (on a marathon, for example) as a casual observer and nothing more.

It's raining so nobody wants to take their trolley back to the trolley parks any more, they leave them in the parking spaces instead.

Traffic news. You can't possibly be in 15 different queues at the same time so why the hell bother telling us about the accident on the M8 in Glasgow at the same time as Operation Stack in Kent?

I ordered 100 pins for a cork notice board from Amazon last night. I've just received despatch advice and delivery notification for 22nd June! They're coming from China FFS!
I probably should have picked up the forecast delivery when I place the order, but as it was just one item from several I overlooked it.

Dangerous drivers. Look, dickhead, the only ways you can be behind us in this lane and think we cut in front of you are you turning left from the right hand lane (illegal) or you running a red light (really illegal). Sounding your horn is one thing; switching to the left lane then squeezing into our lane to try to push us into the central barrier is criminal, no matter what you migh think we did. Oh, I see you're driving an Audi, there's a surprise. Cword.

journalists who expect me to know which football team they're writing about by naming the manager, coach, captain or ground, or by referring to recent opponents.

Journalists who expect me to know which sport they are referring to by reference to 'famous names that mean nothing to me'. I always assume the default to be Association Football.
